Good luck to you too! :)

I have a question for you, maybe you can help me.... My fiance is living in London for over 3 years now and I wanted to know do you know where can I find good deals to travel to London. I took Delta last year but I wanted to know if you know of other websites...?

Thank you

My starting point is always to go on Orbitz and get a ballpark figure for the best times to visit. When I flew from NY I was able to get round trip for around $600-$700 on average, though I flew on Iceland Express once for $400 roundtrip...but they were a horrible airline. I don't believe they fly to America anymore. IcelandAir is really good value and I find that calling them sometimes helps get a lower fare - they're nice. And you can take 2 bags on their flights for no extra charge.

Now that I'm in Los Angeles, it's a bit more expensive. Average flights seem to be about $900-$1000 as I'm looking for April. My fiance came over in november for about $900 roundtrip via Air New Zealand and they were lovely.

I've also looked into getting a cheap $200 flight to NY and then jetting over from there, which can cut $100 or so off of it, but is a bit more of a hassle.

But yeah. Just check Orbitz to get an idea and then go to individual sites. Sometimes I've found that Orbitz really does have the best offers tho!

Hope you can get out there to see your fiance soon :)
