    Hi all. I'm trying to find a good price to get to Salt Lake City in late January, with a couple stop-overs so that all flights are non-stop.

    I did a few searches today and came up with this:

    1. LON -> CHI 20/01 Dep 12:05
    2. CHI -> SLC 23/01 Dep 11:55
    3. SLC -> SFO 28/01 Dep 17:18
    4. SFO -> LON 01/02 Dep 19:00

    Unitedairlines.co.uk = £552.67

    My dates aren't set in stone, but it must be 6 days in SLC between 20/01 and 30/01 with all non-stop flights (though I'm willing to have a stop if it lowers the price by more than ~£50)

    The Quote itself: £552.67
    Who the quote is from: United Airlines
    Is there a booking fee: No
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: United Airlines
    The departure Airport/Post: LHR
    The Holiday Dates: 03/10/2010-17/10/2010
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults
    Any specific requirements: no
    Is an in-flight meal included: Yes, on the trans-atlantic flights only

    • Who the quote is from: Low Cost Hols
    • Is there a booking fee: Don't think so
    • The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Monarch
    • The departure Airport/Post: Manchester
    • The Holiday Dates: 12/10/10 to 26/10
    • The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2+2 (12,7)
    • The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Lanzarote Gardens
    • The Board (self catering/half board etc): All Inclusive
    • Any specific requirements:
    • Is an in-flight meal included: No
    There would be another family as well (kids 16 &13). Dates are flexible during that week, any airport further north would be okay too.

    To be honest, thats an excellent quote you have already. I'm not even sure how lowcostholidays are managing to get the accomodation at the price they are.
