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)
