Hot Plane Deals

[Fandango 1,440]

if anyone sees any good deals from US to UK, please post them here so we have one place for quick reference if ever anyone needs a quick trip home, all the info is consolidated.

I'll update it every week if need be if there's lots of convo going on around the deal-posting.

What you guys think?

Sounds like a plan to me.

SO is making a short visit in March as he found a flight from Heathrow to Dulles for just over 300 pounds.

Are we quoting prices with or without taxes I get sooooooooo fed up with an airline price that they say is one thing becoming 30% more when the bottomline appears. Currently looking for trip to UK straight after Easter so far $471 from Piitsburgh via Philly which becomess $680 with taxes (US Airways)

(apparently Italy is about to ban advertising pre-tax prices on flights which should mess up Ryan Airs 99p deals lol)

We have been lucky with Delta with Cincy so close, typically

we can get most flights for around $400 from September to the end of March.

Guess it depends on the airline and actually doing a check of your dates to see if taxes apply or not.

K just did a quick check out of Clev to Gatwick.......13th through the 21st and total came to $473 on American. We all know plugging dates in differently can lead to cheaper deals.

You might want to check Continental, Widge. We're looking at May and got a price of $593 including taxes Pittsburgh-Gatwick via Newark.

Wow that IS a good price ....... I can get $673 inc taxes but for the sake of a few $$$$ not worth losing the US Airways airmiles ............. oh for the days when US flew direct from Pittsburgh to UK

I usually fly US Airways too, a) for the miles and B) Charlotte is a great little airport.

The "International" in Pittsburgh Airport always makes me laugh! Thought maybe we might have been in with a chance with the US Airways/Delta deal, but now that's collapsed I guess all hopes are faded. Maybe one day we'll be lucky.

I typically fly out of Charlotte as well. I have friends there that take my car while I'm away.

But lately we've been really enjoying the direct flights!! I'm only 2 hours from Atlanta and if I can arrange for someone to take and pick me up then it works out loverly.

When I first started flying here (2001) and for the next couple of years you could fly direct to either LGW or Manchester from Pittsburgh from March - Oct but when US airways pulled out of Pittsburgh as a major hub that all changed. I was hoping someone else would pick up the route but so far no joy . Their airmiles are a definite PLUS I managed a return flight for about $100 (taxes only) with absolutely no restrictions :dance: and am about half way to my next freebie so it's an incentive to stick with them.

Never let me down yet.

BA also has a great sale on right now.

I fly out of Cincinnati and unfortunately the only company that does direct to LGW or LHR is Delta. When I went over in Dec I had to fly to Dallas first!!! Totally out of the way! My fiance got lucky the last two times he came here. The first time, he had a connection in Atlanta that got cancelled and he got put on a direct (through delta). Then last time he had a connection in Newerk with Continental that got cancelled and they put him on the direct Delta flight! Why can't I get that lucky?

Anyway, normally you can find pretty decent deals from Cincy to London. I don't think i've ever paid over $500. Last time my fiance came here it was 281 pounds (in July) from LGW to Cleveland to Cincy.

I've seen Indy, IN and Louisville, KY run some good deals to LGW before too.

Does anyone know if there are US credit cards available that give miles on either BA or Virgin? I have a Virgin frequent flyer card, but not one of those credit cards you can use to earn miles, which, seems like not a bad idea given that even after things process, we'll be traveling back and forth for holidays, etc.

I'm lucky enough to live close enough to SFO to travel direct to Heathrow (well, not that Heathrow is that fabulous) with relatively good deals to be found since it's such a major hub. But anything to earn those points, right!

I've also had luck checking travelzoo.com, cheaptickets, and then double checking with the carriers actual website - which is usually as good a deal as the discount sites that compile all information.
