Round-trip airfares to London for January/February departures have sunk to $337 from New York, $447 from Los Angeles, including fuel surcharge
The deep winter is the optimum time for visiting Britain's capital. And the sharpest rates for doing so (airfare only) are from 1-800-FlyEurope (www.1800flyeurope.com). I've tested all the cut-rate carriers (like Canada's Zoom Airways), all the major airfare search engines, all the "aggregators," and no one presently has fares to match what 1-800-FlyEurope is offering: $337 round-trip from New York, $447 round-trip from Los Angeles, with intermediate prices from other gateways. Even that miracle-working new Danish website, Momondo (www.momondo.com), doesn't come remotely close to what 1800flyeurope is offering.
Am I missing something here? Though there may be some miscellaneous taxes that these prices don't include, they do include fuel surcharge, and those other figures can't add that much. I'd be grateful for our readers' comments, which will immediately appear under this post.
