Cheap flights???

Hi all,
Just wondered if anyone had any pointers on how to find cheap flights?

We are off to Las Vegas to get married next April, our budget for everything (hotel, flights, outfits, after wedding party, rings etc) is only £5,000.

Because of our budget we are trying to things as cheap as possible - however searching for flights I don't seem to be able to find any cheaper than £750 ish per person. Is this not quite expensive for flights alone?? :o

    Sign up with the major airlines so that you get their newsletters emailed to you, that way you get a jump on everyone else.
    As an example, KLM Air France are currently having a four day flight sale. For example, KLM can currently do £557 rtn per person inc all taxes Heathrow to Vegas 14April-26 April.

    April is the Easter holidays which is probably pushing up prices.
