London Airfare

Is $525 per ticket a good price for a direct flight from Boston to London in the last week of June? Is it better to buy tickets now or wait a bit to see if fares go lower? I'd appreciate any advice.

If you can back your trip up to depart by June 15th, Virgin is offering round trip from Boston for $395.

The price includes all taxes and fees. Unfortunately, I can't flex on the dates.

I would try www.autoeurope.com. They are currnetlt offering airfare and a $ 200 land credit ( for car rental etc.) for $ 587 plus tax in the summer. If you can leave before jun15 the airfare is $ 247 US plus tax Boston to London.

I bought the tickets through Yahoo/Travelocity for American Airlines. I'm leaving on a Wednesday, so it was a fair bit cheaper than it would have been had I left on Thurday or Friday.

what kills the longdon airfare is the about $100. in taxes, etc that are added on to your ticket....i think that in the usual year this price is average....this year may be different....many airlines have cancelled flights so it may be hard to get a seat in another few weeks and if the war ends it will fill up quickly i think...i am from boston and we like virgin...good service but old planes...<BR><BR>you might see if there are still day flights from boston...i think B/a and american still have them...they are fabulous...you leave bos about 9am and get to london about 9 pm...no jet lag....
