Promo codes aren't kicking around for airfares in quite the same way as for other commodities. Codes do get issued from time to time, often targeted to certain segments (e.g. frequent flyers) and non-transferable.

If you have a specific need in mind try rummaging around on Flyertalk - without a shred of exaggeration I have saved myself thousands of dollars through advice found there over the last few years.

That's a shame. Maybe someone here will come up with something for you.

This any good to you?

You'd need to jump on board pretty quick if it is of use though.

US Airways flies direct MAN-PHL.

Have not seen any dicount codes at all this year but what I try to do is open up several windows in my computer and pull up regulars
Priceline
Travelocity
Expedia
Hotwire
AA
United
Continental
Delta

I have found that around about midnight on a weekday prices seem to fluctuate quite a lot. Also if you have an alternate airport to leave from it can make a big difference.

Case in point

This march was quoted $1106 each from mem - lhr Delta cheapest of all on offer.
Changed to Lit (little rock) - lhr Delta (still connecting in detroit for london flight.) fare was $702. cost of petrol to and fro $60, and long term parking was $80 total saving was $668. bonus ... lit is a small airport with friendly staff with friendly and helpful TSA (wife has always to be secondary screened)+ saved 30 - 40 minutes getting luggage on way back. (it is not unusual to wait up to 1 hr at mem). Drawback.. 2 hr drive each way.

just seen the update b4 sending this... Congrats
