Moneyback/savings buying Virgin or BA flights

Hi,

I will be soon buying flights to the USA, flying with either BA or Virgin (Flying in June, to LAS, back from SAN FRAN)
Its looking around the £1,500 mark (for 2)
Are there any deals/cashback/flying club (tesco point) deals to be had?
Also is it ok to fly there with one carrier and back with another?

Thanks.....

    Yes, BUT that will be two ONE way fares whcih will be VERY expensive if you are talking BA and VS. :eek:

    Thanks.....

    Quidco offer 2% cashback on Virgin flights-Watch out of exhorbhitant CC fees on VS. :eek:
    Cash + miles can reduce the VS fare by about £20
    Tesco have a scheme with Virgin to swap vouchers for FF points

    BTW
    I'm doing the same 30th May
    BUT
    I bought the fare in Sept, flying into LAX as LGW-LAS is a poor service (in Econ) and was £150 more expensive. Cheaper to hire a car from LAX-LAS and have a night stop in LAX.

    So LHR-LAX, SFO-LHR £510. :cool:

    Unfortunately cashback deals are hard to come by on flights book separately. 1-2% is typically the best you will do. Here are the current Quidco deals: http://www.quidco.com/travel/flights/

    The big cashback savings which are available are on hotels and package deals.
