$99 r/t to London
The email notification of the $99 round trip fare from New York Kennedy to London Heathrow may be targeted. But here is the offer as I understand it: Departure must be on UA 904 on either May 8 or 9th. Return must be on UA 979 any date until May 31st. With tax, the total fare is $208.97. It can only be booked with a Mileage Plus number and using the United Website Customer Service number of 1 800 589-5582. I do not know whether they will make it available to any Mileage Plus member, or only certain members. But it is a good deal.

Just over $100 is the normal amount to be added on for New York to London, nothing at all unusual there. Seems like a lot on a $99 ticket, but it's not based on the cost of the ticket, but a flat fee set of taxes.
