Can anyone recommend where I can get cheap plane tickets from Houston to London in January and what a great deal is? I keep hearing that the sales are out there but I'm having trouble finding them.

There was a great deal on British Airways, I believe $99 each way, but unfortunately you had to book by a certain date (I can't recall) for travel thru Dec (Christmas blacked out) to March.

I would try American- this is where we got our deals. Select American Vacations and that's where you will see the hotel and air packages. Good luck!!

If you go to the British Airways site, www.british-airways.com, then use the search engine, you can find dates for $199 each way. From Houston this is pretty good. Use the feature that it defaults to, which is &quot;+/- 7 days&quot; when putting in dates, because fares vary widely depending on the departure date.<BR><BR>As long as you are flexible, you should be able to get this fare.<BR><BR>Happy travels,<BR>Karen

Fly midweek and be flexable on flights.<BR><BR>I just went to the American Airlines site (www.aa.com) punched in leaving Houston on January 14 and returning on the 21st. <BR>Searching on lowest fare.<BR><BR>334.12 USD roundtrip on Air Canada with two flight choices.<BR><BR>370.77 USD on roundtrip Continental with four flight choices.<BR><BR>Including tax and all fees.<BR><BR>Enjoy!!<BR><BR> Keith<BR>

I just double checked and found $299 at American Airlines in January. Many dates!!

Travelocity shows almost every day in January and February with $208 on that route.<BR><BR>Wish I could fly from Houston...

Wow-I've impressed myself by finding those deals for $299 on American. When did I have time to find those? Good job, self! To Cam #2, please get an original name.

I just booked for February through American Airlines - the price goes up the end of March. Ours came to $350 per ticket including taxes. We could have done it slightly cheaper, but we wanted to come back on a Sunday. If you can travel on weekdays that's your best rate. My fare said it was an internet special, but there were cheaper &quot;sales&quot; as well, but I think they were for right away.

One small correction to Carol's post. I believe the American fares only require that you depart by the end of March, you can come back in April. An early April trip to London seems more attractive than a March one.

Did you really see fares like that for IAH-LON on Travelocity? I can't find anything even vaguely close to that today for ANY dates between now and March.<BR><BR>Closest are $296 - - but this is before taxes. $397 with taxes.<BR><BR>$208 wopuld have been worthwhile to go visit a friend in Houston, en route to Europe. But $397 is pretty different from $208.<BR>

Rex- Consider looking at rates from Dallas also. In past weeks I saw many direct flights to London from Dallas for really great rates. Good luck!

Rex

As of this moment, $353 (before taxes) is the cheapest fare shown on travelocity DFW-LON. And I have no particular erason to want to go to Dallas. It's so impossible to guess where atypically low fares will be found. LAX-LON has $312; the cheapest from Columbus is $444.<BR><BR>$208 from the middle of the country - - and not on priceline or skyauction or something - - seemed to have been way out of the average low.<BR>
