    I've found a ticket, but thanks anyway.

    Hi,

    I'm looking for flights to Los Angeles, hopefully LAX from MAN. I'm willing to go to nearby airports but the difference must be enough to justify train fares etc. About a month ago I saw some better deals but had too much going on at once to look into it properly. I'd really like to keep this below £550 if possible.
    The Quote itself:£580-590
    Who the quote is from: Various screenscrapers, a US airways flight
    Is there a booking fee: No, or included in cost
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: US Airways
    The departure Airport/Post: Manchester
    The Holiday Dates: 8 May 2012 to 14 May 2012
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 1 Adult
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): NA
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): NA
    Any specific requirements:
    I'm happy to travel either a day earlier or a day later, and I can return up to a day later but I cannot return a day earlier.

    I am not willing to do an unusually long layover, but am otherwise willing to be fairly flexible. Would love it if someone could help!
