USA - early OCT

I'm looking to get to anywhere from Orland/Tampa to Atlanta in early Oct and so far all the usual suspects are coming up with £400+.

Anyone got any ideas.

PS: Come on Michael O'Leary,pull your finger out and get those long-haul routes sorted will ya ?

    £400 doesn't sound too bad for that time of the year.

    I'd rather swim the Atlantic than fly to the US with Ryanair.

    I second both your points!
    Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end

    Have you checked out Norwegian from Gatwick to Fort Lauderdale, the weakest of its three transatlantic routes and the one with the lowest fares? However, cheap isn't the only thing you need to consider and £400 return for 8-9 hours flying each way is not expensive

    I often pick up Monarch or Thomson for £300 or less.
    As I said I've tried all the usual suspects and this is a forum for sharing bagains.
