Yeah, great prices! I tried to book a business class flight for Nov. 12th today, Dallas to Gatwick, and it was only $9560. What a steal!

Having paid over $1000 for a cattle class return in August, we are now the proud owners of a (one way) $228 Norfolk VA to Heathrow flight thanks to a special offer -non changeable/refundable- deal on Expedia.

Has Northwest Airlines stopped flying from Detroit? You could fly Northwest to Amsterdam, then AMS-MAN.

I used that route a few times when flying into Detroit, until I used the easier route for me, which was Humberside/Amsterdam/Detroit.
