O.K., i've looked at just about every website I can imagine trying to find the cheapest non-stop from Dallas to London roundtrip in mid-May. So far, the best i've been able to find is around $530 on British Airways. I was wondering if anyone knew of where to look (besides Expedia, Travelocity, etc. mainstream places) for a better fare. Also, a friend will be traveling with me. Should we be able to obtain any type of discount for booking tickets & flying together? Both 21 & neither of us are students at the moment. Any help would be appreciated.

I dont think you will get any discounts because you arnt students or what not, 500ish bucks Is a great deal for a nonstop flight, im gonig to my flying in april of next year from florida to London with 2 layovers wil lbe 700ish bucks, so your getting a great deal.Try AAA for flights, I hear they have discounted flights. Hope that helps!

STA (youth, not student fare) showed $612.
Hotwire showed $594, and you don't even know what airline till you book.
I think you have a pretty good deal with British Airways.

Where did you find the 300$ a friend and I are looking for tickets at the same time, to and from the same place and the cheapest we've found is 526$. Sure would be nice to know. Thanks.  |

$300??? I wish!!! It was $530.00, BUT I was mistaken. I accidently got flights from March instead of May  . Turns out it's $614 in mid-May  . |

I don't know what exact dates you're going, but I plugged Dallas - LGW into Hotwire for May 11/25 (randomly selected) and got a fare for $519.
Sidestep pointed out a US Airways fare for that time period for $473 total (so even better).

Since the time I started this thread, I found a flight on U.S. Airways for $476, $3 more than what you found when you looked for me (just when I thought it couldn't get ANY cheaper!). But thanks for looking for me though  . Good guess by the way, those are the days I am planning on departing & returning! |

Yeah... 300$ don't know where I got that.  I think I mis-read your first post or something. Anyways, we bought our tickets online tonight from US Airways for 479.60 a piece. Can't believe we were able to find such a good deal. Thanks for the help you guys. Kinda nervous about this trip, but really excited at the same time, guess there is nothing to do about it now except prepare. ;D |

That's a little freaky. Glad it worked out for you. |
