YEah cost of flights is the worst thing about getting a visa in summer. I usually just look on expedia but no doubt there are other places. I usually check all different dates etc until i find the cheapest.

Try http://www.airline-network.co.uk/ I have almost always found the best deals through them over the past 5 years, of travel from the UK to the US.

Sadly, as you say, this is now high season.

Good luck !! Neil....Now in NC.

I've always used www.travelbag.co.uk or ebookers.co.uk (they are in fact the same company). I have been checking flight prices for July and they are all rediculous - they start to reduce in late August. You'll find they're extremely competitive usually. But they don't have any trouble filling the flights in high season - normally we travel low season tho.

If you want to go in July you'll be paying around 1000 GBP return If you find anything cheaper I'd love to know..........

Well I just checked and your destination is almost half the price of mine - just depends where you fly from.

On travelbag from MAN - JFK return it was 558

My destination is to Idaho in the west. So thats not too bad - taxes incl.

A little tip check the price for a return ticket they are quite often cheaper than a one way. Not exactly what you are suppose to do but just don't tell the airline you are not coming back.

If you get a return ticket make the return date a long time off, that way if you want to visit England you can use this half of the ticket

My one way ticket was much cheaper than a return. As long as you have a valid visa, the airline doesn't care about it being a one way. They also don't care if you don't use a return, but it is courteous to let them know so they can release your seat.

Check www.travelsupermarket.com

they do a check on major airlines and travel sites...

also as it was said before, look for a return instead of a one way, for some reason they are more expensive!

We booked ours to go to Houston with British Airways, it cost £893 for both. We will be flying in sept, which makes it a bit cheaper...

Ps. we also booked with BA 'cause their baggage allowance is still 2 x suitcases of 32kgs whereas the others are 23kgs

That's fine if yours was cheaper, I said it is quite often cheaper not always. I have seen just recently a case where a return ticket was £1700 cheaper than a one way, that will save me a lot of money.

The airlines do in fact care about it in the same way they will try and prevent hidden city ticketing. If you buy a return ticket which is cheaper than a one way you have deceived the airline into supplying you with a service at a price cheaper than they would have done had they known the correct circumstances. In the UK that is an offence under the Theft Act. Working at Heathrow I don't know of any airlines that has ever pushed it that far, but I do know instances where they have tried to recover the extra money and also stripped people of their frequent flyer miles. But they were what you might call repeat offenders. In the case of an individual buying a ticket in the situation those of us going to the US permanently would do they are not likely to even realise what has happened.

Didn't know buying a return was an offence if you were not planning on coming back! Will we get in trouble for this?

I think there are some unecessary scare tactics here about return V single tickets. Now people are thinking they may get in trouble. I think they're more likely to struck by lightening. As long as the airline is informed, surely they can resell the seat and make more money? This really shouldn't have been raised here when it is VERY unlikely that anyone would get in trouble for doing this on a visa. It seems you've had the same argument a few years back, Lansbury http://www.thetravelforum.com/t88827.html

If you really think it is such an offence, surely you should recommend that people purchase a one way to avoid any 'trouble'?
