Cheap flights to London?
Permalink Closed

I know this is a long shot, but I'm hoping someone will have a magical website that will sell me a ticket to London for like $200. I have three friends that are over there right now and I really want to go visit for a long weekend in March. The cheapest tickets I've found are around $400+. Anyone have a special trick or know of a really cheap sale?

ETA: Sorry, from Boston. I didn't mention that. Also probably either Thurs-Mon or Wed-Sun.

I wish I knew of something! I was hoping I could find a cheap flight and meet my bf in London for a long weekend but after taxes and fees everything winds up being over $400. I'll let you know if I happen upon a great deal.

Yeah, they're real tricky. When I follow it through it tells me around $480. Jerks. When I was looking at going this fall tickets were like $200. I should've gone then. Ugh, I really want to go but I want a ticket that's less than $400.

Or how about priceline and put in a price and see if they accept it?

It's the taxes and fees that are making everything really expensive. If you look on Travelocity they have those fares listed for British Air as well as a few that are a bit cheaper but the final price of everything I've found for March is around $400.
Sooo frustrating!

I can't get a good deal on US Air either, it's telling me like $560. Plus they only fly to Gatwick not Heathrow and are asking me to stop in NC and Vegas. WTF?

$400 sounds cheapish to me.  i spent like $900 on a trip to france, and later everyone told me that i coulda flown for $400.  i was so mad- thats a nice bag right there!  i wonder if you can find $400 on british air- i LOVE that carrier.  it was such a nice flight.  i actually enjoyed my meals and the worchestire pretzels are delish.

Thanks, I actually tried them too.

I don't even know why I'm asking because I think I've actually tried every travel website, but thanks for humoring me guys.

Sorry Maddie, it doesn't look like it's going to happen. A few years ago it was definitely possible to get tickets for under $400 - even under $300 - in the winter but I guess taxes and fees have increased a lot. The two times I went to Venice in March I got tickets for under $375. I guess that's never going to happen again.

Thanks, I looked there and they seem to be tied with United for cheapest. If I suck it up and pay I think I might go with them.
