The cheapest way to get direct US flights with the big airlines
My glamorous assistant Simon and I like to try and bring you little snippets of exclusive info we can glean from the friendly STA Travel team, and our insider mate Tom has just given us a juicy nugget to share. Apparrently this year, for the first time, the big boys British Airways, American Airlines and Virgin Atlantic aren’t putting out ’sale’ prices on their direct flights to the USA.
You may be able to find lower prices with small carriers going indirectly, but for direct flights in June, September and October, STA are now pretty much untouchable on their fares, and Tom assures me that their flexible ticketing option still applies. This means that for a direct flight to New York in those months, you’re looking at £363 from STA with the closest Expedia quote being £427.
