    That seems like alot, I was looking at fares - GLA-LAS-LAX-NYC-GLA and they were coming in at around £700 this was for end of August though so maybe the dates you are going is more expensive to travel. BA and Virgin both have sales on right now, I always find Continental better value.

    BA Virgin and Continental are nearer or above £800. We did this route 2 years ago with BA and it was just over £600 so I have been quite shocked at the increase.

    Thanks. These coming up about £10 cheaper. Still need to find a cheaper way. Think these flights have more than one change.

    Wow, really expensive flights.
    I have similar question as OP, please.
    We are planning to fly from London to LA on 21 April (day before Easter) and back on 7th May from Vegas. The price is around £590 at moment.
    Do you think we are likely to get it cheaper in January sale or is the price going to go up due to Easter?
    Best wins ever:
    2012: Holiday to LA for 2 adults +2 kids for 4 days
    2013: £2 000 Virgin Holiday Voucher!
    2014: $1000 spending money for hols
    2015: 8 night holiday to Thailand

    590 isnt a bad price for that trip, Because of Easter being in April and your dates inclusing the bank hol weekend, id book at that price, you may find as your not so far out it gets more expensive as flight sell out, Eater hols fill up soon, Ive booked flights to florida in april and had to fly earlier than i wanted as the flights were full beacuse its easter holidays!
