I posted a few weeks back about cheap flights to the UK this Christmas I have been watching the prices on a daily basis's and they have started to increase dramatically I would suggest if any of you are going home for Xmas get your tickets now as they have gone up on average $150 in just 10 days to 2 weeks on a rtn flight.

I got I think a bargin today Chicago to Heathrow BA $572 non- stop I really wanted to fly into Norwich but it was $900 neally

Got my chicago to dublin return last week with AA for $450. That's now jumped to $550 though interestingly Air Fungus have dropped their price from $560 to $510.
Generally though you're right - prices appear to have gone up.

I should hit the sack. I read it as 'Christmas lights Buy Now Prices Going Crazy'

I just payed $740 for my Daughter to come over in two week's, so thats not gone down since I went in May always did before this time of year.

Usually half that price to Manchester in October....and you usually get better deals flying into London.

Bristol to Norfolk, cheapest I could find was with Continental.

Aparently Virgin have been doing seat sales - a friend came to visit last week and she saw seats for 160gbp although she'd already booked her ticket by then.

Mine hasn't gone up or down.. $781 into Brum from Ft Myers in December, been around there for the last month or so.

Its strange that Virgin do not fly from Chicago

I managed to get my mother and my daughter's flight for about $550 each for the Xmas holidays.

I usually just play with the dates until the best price shows up.

They did for a short time. I flew with them once, summer 2001. Then guess what happened in September....

Oh well that explains it then I thought it was strange.

Plenty of direct trans-atlantic carriers operating out of ord though - tough market to get into i'd say with aa, bmi, ba, air fungus and klm there already.
