Cheap flights
 

OK I know this is a reoccuring theme, but anyone know a good site for getting cheap air fares back to the UK ? Looking to go early December for 10 days or so.

doc look at British Airways ... for the last couple of years they've had flights for $99 each way + taxes

Good luck !

$99!!!!!!! What city was that from?

We did it from AZ last year.

I heard a BA advertisement on the radio the other day -- they have special offers to New York and other big cities in the U.S. right now.

I'm looking for a cheap cheap flight for my girlfriend to come and visit me in Sweden next year (June). Any city in Denmark or Sweden or even London would be fine.. as long as it's cheap. I've heard about people flying for around $500 before but that seems impossible to find now.

Are there any low fare firms flying U.S. - Europe? Student discounts?

Bloody Students & their discounts, leave the ranks of the unwashed & get a proper job ya soap dodger ! :D:D:D

Re: Cheap flights
 

dunno abt $99 fares but i just got a return JFK-MAN on Dec 23 for 507..

Re: Cheap flights
 

I am going back to the UK for Christmas and I got a super fare of $350 including tax on BA from NYC.

Tips:


www.qixo.com

www.sidestep.com

www.autoeurope.com (car rental agencies but have been know to have super cheap flights to Europe too! I once got $270 from NYC to LON)

www.travelaxe.com

Plus always check the airline websites. My flight on BA was actually booked on www.aa.com - strange huh! I'll take the bargains anyway I can find them!

Let me know if you find a bargain!!

Continental slashes fares
 

Continental just slashed their fares to $445, ATL to LGW.

BA have a sale for the fall from $89 each way - you can't beat that!

$47.50 extra each way to leave from and return to Atlanta is a great deal.

Leave yes, but why return ? :D

BA has deals on again now. Back in November we booked flights to go from Tampa direct to Gatwick for two weeks this past May. Price? Less than $400 per person return, including all taxes.

I searched and searched for deals out of ATl...where/when did you find that? The best I could find was $129.

So what kind of deals can you find coming the other way? My daughter lives in the UK and she's coming home for Christmas. And I know I'll end up paying for her ticket. :rolleyes: What kind of deals can I find the other way, does anyone know?

Swim for $ 0 !

Don't think they are that bothered, problem is Yanks still scared of going overseas.

Ok...ok $89 each way.....so thats $178 (IF your leaving from the East coast!)....Plus tax's etc....If your central, its still about $500.00:eek:

AA just dropped there prices, looks like I'm going back for my birthday in September, another bonus will be, that I have enough airmiles with AA for a free flight next summer.

Wife & I are going to the UK for $ 312.50 each in December. Early than that can be dearer.

During the 3 years that my wife and I had a transatlantic relationship, we always used Priceline.com.

I noticed them advertising a lot more on TV before I left England and I suspect that they're not the bargain they used to be. But up until last summer, we were still getting return flights from Los Angeles to Heathrow (or vice versa) for less than $350 each, and that was peak season with no transfers.. The couple of times we travelled from Heathrow to New York, it was less than $150.

I've never seen these under $100 prices everyone is talking about, but I'm going to start looking!

Has anyone ever used this sight before?

www.skyauctions.com

Loos like some good deals... I have never tried doing it this way though.

Also if you can't get any good sales with BA etc try this site... they have some quite good fares.

www.bt-store.com

When I posted that a few days ago, Continental was $445 ATL to Gatwick with the stop in Newark, but that fare is no longer available on sidestep.com .. I tried to alert everyone to the deal before it disappeared.

Eww, I hate Newark Airport! I was stuck there for five hours once...

Doesn't Delta fly direct from Atlanta to Gatwick? They usually have some good deals going.

$280 inc tax from east coast on BA in Novemeber.:D

Delta and BA both

I'm with you on disliking Newark. That airport drives a lot of people up the wall. I've personally seen and felt the frustration in the slow customer service line at Newark. If you've got time for an extra day's stopover, hours of delays both ways and baggage arriving later in the week of your trip, it's not so bad for a rock bottom fare.

Fly from Atlanta to Gatwick - $412
 

Orbitz.com is currently offering $412 RT with Northwest for November, ATL to LGW with stop in Detroit.
