    Hi guys, I have to tell you the full story in order for you to give me good advice.

    I was looking to fly return to LA as it was cheap and use LA as a base to visit San Fran & Vegas. However, after your advice, I have realised that there are better ways to do this. I have now found the below flights for my trip. I would appreciate it of you could let me know your thoughts please. I live in London but have followed the advice of some of you guys and checked out flights leaving from dublin.

    I am not all that interested in seeing LA so have decided to leave this out of the trip. The places which I really want to see our San Fran & Vegas.

    I have found these flights on the AA website.

    07:45 - 09:05 DUB to LHR (one world BA flight)
    11:20 - 14:45 LHR to SFO (one world BA flight)
    (14hrs 40 mins travel time)

    11:30 - 12:52 LAS to LAX (AA flight)
    15:55 - 10:05 LAX to LHR (AA operated by BA)
    (14hrs 35 mins travel time)

    These flights are currently £481.30 per person

    Please let me know your thoughts.

    Thanks so much for your help guys.

    On the one world flights from LHR to SFO, it says N/A under the meals section. Any idea why that would be?

    What dates are you travelling?

    What would be the price of flying to/from London to use as a benchmark to see if flying out to Dublin would be worth it...

    My dates are 10th - 20th april

    I can get a flight to dublin on the 9th for £28 per person (£48 pp inc £20 luggage), and stay in the premier in at the airport for £30 per night.

    So total cost inc. 2two bags would be £126

    The cheapest LON-SFO LAS-LON flights on the same dates are over £700 indirect and even more for nonstop. So that's a pretty hefty saving if you don't mind the extra leg to Dublin.

    Think I'm going to book it now before it gets any more expensive :)

    Just a tip rather than using Ryanair check out the one way fare LHR DUB and deduct the bag cost but add on the cost of leaving a bag in left luggage at LHR .
