I've been looking for low cost fares to LHR from LAX (17 - 26 Sep) for a while -- this "sale" seems no different than the prices that have existed for a while. I finally gave in and went for a miles award (and chipped in the extra 20,000 for business).

I just copied the e-mail they sent me, Steinerboy... the airlines' "sales" are dictated by the competition, I suppose.

Still, a little over $200 to get across the Atlantic isn't too bad when you compare it to some North American flights.
