I'm in Europe so the other way I don't know that much about, but I always check BA (British Airways), they can have good offers once in a while. Also lastminute.com I think.
At least frlying FROM Europe, it very much depends on where u fly to - NY, Boston, Washington for example r cheap, while Florida and LA are more expensive since it's longer flights.

Good luck with your trip! smile

You should be able to get a return for around $250.
That could be up to about $300 in Feb
More than that and you are getting ripped off.

Check out the best travel site around for the USA .

Also, I find that the best deals can often b found if u look through the travel section in your newspapers, either local or national, because its where these "bucket shops" tend 2 advertize!!

For example, I have done searches on flights on Cheaptickets, com, Expedia.com. Travelocity.com and lastminute.com, and then found CHEAPER deals instead in the papers!!

I have no idea, how these online travel agents can justify their prices!!! shocked

where is your flight originating from? that could make a huge difference.
"It's that Coqui 900, can I have me a sip"

The evil cometh...

Florida is about the cheapest place in USA you can go from the UK. Return charter flights from Gatwick start at GBP39 pounds in peak season. But can usually be gotten for under 100 pounds.

as opposed to NYC/Boston at GBP170

LA flights can cost about GBP220 but sometimes are cheaper.

thank you please

I recommend at least checking icelandair

http://www.icelandair.com/

they tend to have REALLY cheap airfare around Feb and March to Europe...I'm not sure if they fly out of your airport, but it's worth a look!

good luck!

Strange, then it's the absolute opposite of the prices in Sweden. Probably has to do with the number or people travelling.

My sister flew here roundtrip (just left Thursday) for 600 or something, with United.

I heard Orbitz.com is cheap too, but only if you've got a student email address (ends with .edu)

As for me, I don't have a return plane ticket as of yet... who knows if I'll ever come back to the US...

I mean, like, where is the sun?
