Cheap (relatively) airfare to London
So, I finally decided my next trip is to Scotland in May. I've been holding out, waiting for the airfare to drop. Well, it has. I found a R/T from Columbus to London (Gatwick) for $473 with all fees & taxes on Delta. American had pretty much the same for $498.

Jenny do you visit flycolumbus.com ? If you click around it will show cheap prices from Cbus to international places, listing the top 3 cheapest and I noticed that London was on there.
Anyhoo cool website for future reference!
Congrats on the plane ticket!

Nic, I tried it & with my return date the price went up from $455 to $620. 
I would have to leave & return on a Tuesday to get the $455 price. I'm leaving on a Tuesday & returning on a Saturday for $473. I was amazed the Saturday return flight day didn't raise the price with Delta.
