You could try travelocity, orbitz, sidestep, travelzoo, expedia, priceline, hotwire, cheapflights, all .com, or search by airlines - if you can get to NYC, Air India is often very cheap; crap, but...

Re: Tax, 401k, IRA moving from US to UK

You might want to ask this on a board for American expats; UKYankee has a board especially for tax queries, so that might be worth trying.

Re: working in the uk - sick days
