Atlanta to London airfares
Friends are now joining me in London for a week in October (6th to the 13th).
They live near Atlanta, so Delta seems to be the only logical nonstop, and the schedule is good -- they can get there after a work day for the 10:50 PM flight. Currently it looks like $878. Is that about as good as it will get for that time of year? A friend of theirs who works for Delta was offering them a "buddy" pass or something where they'd fly for $400 but that's only standby, so seems too scary, especially since that's the only nonstop and the last flight of the day -- so if they didn't get on it, they'd miss a whole day in London. |
That is a decent fair for October. They are coming down from the monstrous summer heights, and might come down a little further but you would need flexibility in your dates to maybe save another $75. You have firm dates and a short window so it is better to be safe than sorry.
Snag it, Dan-O. |
I agree. I checked with bing.com for a red-eye on Oct 5, and there's one for $834 that leaves at 10:50 pm. You arrive in Heathrow, but the return is out of Gatwick.
The bing.com price predictor says buy now because prices are rising or remaining steady. Enjoy your trip! |
Also, look at British Airways. They fly non-stop from Atlanta to Heathrow. Of course, Unite could strike, but hopefully not.

You're right, British Airways does the same route, but about $100 more per person. What's the point? I wouldn't fly BA unless they were the ONLY airline flying a route.
