Maybe someone else can take advantage of this deal. BA has roundtrip tickets from DFW to Gatwick for $295 for the next few weeks. I already have tickets for SFO on 11/6-11/12 or else I would jump on this. Argh! I drives me nuts to think tickets to SFO cost $350 and I could be going to London instead.<BR><BR>Someone, please tell me you are taking advantage of this fare and are on your way to London! Think of me while you are there.

Even better

I'm not - because I got $199 R-T from LAX to LHR the first week of December on Virgin!

Hey Even Better...How'd you find that Virgin Atlantic deal?! I don't think I saw it on their website.

Hi GeeGirl,<BR><BR>We bought the fare for spring break next March! We couldn't believe our good fortune when we saw that this would be nonstop. This is the cheapest fare I've seen in a long time (from DFW . . . Virgin does fly from here).<BR><BR>Now we're looking for an inexpensive apartment for 3 adults. Anyone??<BR><BR>(By inexpensive, we'd like to keep the per-night rate to $150 or less.)<BR><BR>And, don't feel too bad . . . San Francisco is not too shabby a destination!<BR><BR>Thanks!<BR>Sandy<BR>

Sandy,<BR><BR>How did you find the fare?<BR><BR>The Virgin Atlantic website doesn't list Dallas.<BR><BR>US

Sorry, sorry, sorry . . . typo in my post . . . it should have read &quot;Virgin does NOT fly from DFW.<BR><BR>I've been watching the airfares from DFW to London for about a month (we're going Mar '03, spring break) and the cheapest nonstop I'd seen was $480 on AA. I use MyYahoo to post the cities I'm watching airfare to.<BR><BR>Low/behold . . . this great fare came up so I jumped on it. We leave on Wed, Mar 12 and return on Sun, Mar 23. The &quot;base&quot; fare was $258 and taxes, etc. made it $350.50 . . . still a GREAT fare for nonstop.<BR><BR>Sandy

oh ya--already got our tix from Denver to LHR for MArch on priceline for 350.00 (NOT incl taxes) and RT is going for 319.00 total right now...bummer.

Michael: I am not Even Better but I think I know what he(she?) is talking about. The $199 intrigued me so I looked in my VS Flying club statement - they are offering $199 round trip Nov 1 - Jan 14 from all of their US gateways by spending 5000 miles. And from Jan 15-Mar 31 it is even cheaper from the east coast -- $169 R-T, while west coast gateways increase to $249.<BR><BR>So it is only for those who have VS miles.

Michael

Janis, thanks so much for clearing up the Virgin info for me.

Sheryl

Thanks for posting this. I wouldn't have being checking the BA and would have missed it. Just booked tickets to Paris next March for $391 total per person. I'm pretty happy with that!

HHH

just got tickets from Bd to lgv through mns at vgr thanks to afc<BR>Sincerly TT

No really!

The Virgin price is also pre-taxes. Still, from LAX, sub-$300 is pretty damn good.

I looked into the &quot;miles plus money&quot; rate that Virgin is offering (for Feb... Newark to Heathrow).. it would have been 269 (total, including taxes) plus 5,000 miles per ticket, round trip... (FYI: if you have Amex membership rewards point, you can transfer them to the Virgin Atlantic FF program but it takes a few weeks to transfer the points, which you need to do before purchasing the tix) the only catch is you don't accumulate miles using miles plus money. <BR><BR>I ended up not using any points and just taking advantage of a sale price they are offereing, which i believe was 242 (came to 343 with taxes, etc) per ticket round trip .<BR><BR>pretty good deal i think

GeeGirl

Sandy,<BR><BR>Where did you find the fare in March? I went back to Travelocity, but the BA $295 fare is only good in November. Are you flying on Virgin?

Wendy

Ive got you all beat. My husband is a Million Miler on AA. I can fly anywhere and just pay the tax!

Sandy

Hi GeeGirl,<BR><BR>I just went to yahoo.com and checked on airfare DFW-London . . . when the next screen came up, I went over to the right-hand side and in the dates to search, put March to March . . . BA popped up, still $258 and it's good until 31 Mar 03. With all taxes/fees, we paid $355.50 for roundtrip, nonstop.<BR><BR>Good luck!<BR>Sandy

www.britishairways.com - London flights $99 to $129 each way based on roundtrip purchase from Denver, Dallas, and Houston only. Today is the last day of the sale. Flights must be completed by 3/31/03 (which does not help me because we are not going until April).

Virgin is also having amazingly low airfare upgrades through Christmas of this year - I think starting at 299 US premium economy &amp; 1299 first LAX to London.

Replying to Sandy on apartment rental. A good internet site is rentparis.com We rented from them for 3 nights at Christmas for about $100 per night for a great studio in the marais. I recommend them.
