I found that ba.com was actually cheaper, by a fistful of dollars, than most of the search sites. Probably because those sites charge a small fee or something. However I would happily pay $100 more to fly straight from PHX to LHR (and then on to NCL) without having to fly via a third airport somewhere in the north of the USA on a lovely December day... Sometimes it's worth paying a bit extra to cut down on the connections

Just ofund a Ft Myers to Manchester flight for $660. 12/21 - 01/04. I'd need to get a train from Manc, but that shouldn't be a problem, leaves on line permitting of course :P
I'd rather do this, as long as Mrs Titchski doesn't throw a wobbly about me flying through all the exploding hair gel stuff thats going on I'd need to get a train from Manchester, but that shouldn't be a problem, leaves on line permitting of course :P
My other comparably priced option is flying into Germany and getting a connection from there, its doable but I'd need to stay over in Germany the night before coming home, so the cost goes up, I don't think anyone is trying to bomb Germany anymore, so Mrs Titchski shouldn't have too much argument about it
