Flight LON-->SAN FRAN-->NYC-->LON

morleymackam

I'm trying to find somewhere to get a quote on these flights. Leaving London (or anywhere in the uk) on 31st July. Leaving San Francisco on 8th August and NEw York on 15th August.

I can only find expedia which will search for multiple destinations. Searching for the individual flights brings up highly inflated prices.

A few sites will let you search like that.
try Opodo - click on muilti-stop or just click:

Airlines that fly direct form LHR-SFO are BA, Virgin and United. United is the only airline that flies direct LHR-SFO-JFK-LHR. Virgin America is likely to fly SFO-JFK but it doesn't have US approval to start flying yet.

Call a consolidator like https://www.trailfinders.com and ask them to quote you for a return to SFO with a stopover in NYC, the stopover is likely to be free.

https://www.jetblue.com flies from OAK-JFK. Oakland is a smaller airport on the other side of San Francisco bay. Delta Song also fly SFO-JFK http://www.flysong.com/home/index.jsp

adds an extra stop but try pricing a return London to New York 31/7-15/8 then an internal flight NYC to San Fran on 31/7 evening - 8/8 comes in around £700+ so far not sure what prices you have so far

Best so far is all 3 legs with Continental at £800 or so. Cali needs to be first, it's a 2 week honeymoon and we want the chill out first.

An open jaw ticket (ie LON-SFO--NYC-LON) and then buy a cheapo one way from SFO to NYC?

Other option find a US carrier who uses NYC as a hub (don't know if any do), get to SFO connecting at NYC in July, then you will have your return from SFO to NYC, using this bit as a stop-over before you get to LON.

Other option, get a return to NYC and then buy a NYC-SFO return.

Sorry, can't help you on pricing though.

Have a look at South Western and Jet Blue to see if they fly NYC-SFO. Also see if airlines fly to Oakland, which is pretty close to San Fran.

Try American Airline and use their 'Multi-City' option. However all transcontinental flights at the end of July will cost a lot.

We just went to newyork and vegas, we wanted to fly to nyc then to vegas then direct back home from vegas, but it was £1200 cheaper to fly back to nyc then home.

This is the way to do it.

Also ring American Airlines (0207-365-0777 within London, or 0845 7-789-789 outside of London) and ask for the pricing of a LHR-SFO return trip with NYC as a FREE stopover on the return leg

Other FREE stopovers (outward AND return are BOS\ORD\LAX.)

I'm sure other major US carriers let you have free stopovers as well.

As stated above that is called an open-jaw.

As I suggested in an earlier post it is always cheaper to arrange a trip as you suggest with AA by using their multi-city option when booking on their website. In addition to the flights being cheaper on-line, you incur a booking fee when making a telephone booking.

Incidentally AA give a guarantee that you will not find a cheaper price on any site like Opodo/Expedia etc than their on-line price(found the same day). If they do you will refund and give you a voucher.

You also always get full miles when booking with AA plus a bonus for on-line booking.

Not the route I quoted it's not

I wasn't clear re ringing AA. It does cost £15.00 per ticket if you book on the phone, but just to ask the question as to what routes you can fly (the web-site isn't always accurate) with FREE stopovers its an easy way to check.

If you do the AA route then I agree with what cardew says about booking on-line and joining AAwards (both of you).
