Boston to London non stop return on KLM for $400

Kayak had some really great prices on KLM flights to London in April.
They were $274 return and when I checked the next day they were up to almost $400 but that's still very good!

Early April flights are now at $419 on Kayak with KLM.
I'm tempted but I've already booked for July!

You guys don't know how lucky you are - how would you like to pay $2,000 from Auckland to London, and that would be a cheap deal !!

nz101, yes but I'd really love to go to NZ or Australia but it's a such long way and the fares are higher......

Yes, its not fair living so far away from the rest of the world, it cots a fortune to go anywhere. Last May I went to Canada, that cost $2,200 in flights alone. I don't mind the long flights - love them, its just the money. I'd love to be able to go to Europe or North America every year,but can't do it. This year is my 'not going anywhere' year, so feeling rather depressed.

$419 is only the beginning, it equates to over $830 with taxes and fees.
On the upside they are direct flights.

Additional Taxes/Fees $219.00

so $300 or so each way all in

enough for another couple of free flights

Better than KLM usually for me..

alya, nooo, this is the real deal!!

$419 is the TOTAL price for return tix including all taxes and fees (dates I tried were April 1st to 11th or thereabouts).
Dates later in April have now increased in price.

The flights are with Delta and KLM is just a codeshare.

Darn Sassy,

I looked at the first week in April and the total was over $800, although I was looking at return flights - are you looking at one way?

I could do some with cheap flights anytime soon to show our family and friends in England that we are holding things together after 7 really sh!!ty weeks.

$400 return? I'd pounce on those in a heartbeat.

Yep.

With this in mind, I would suggest that folks look at both KLM.com and Delta.com for pricing. Prices shouldn't differ that much, but there can be some differences from time to time.

FWIW, they are also offering some very nice pricing on business class for this route. Forget the exact pricing, but something like $1500 roundtrip, all in. It is a pretty nice business class, with flat beds, decent food and wine, and good lounges on both ends (especially the LHR end).
