Anyone coming along??

I may be coming back with you on the LHR-ORD-SFO, if I can make it work right. This is a trip I actually need to take for business.

Oh well... with an extra LAX-ORD and LHR-FRA it will be the same price as I would book LAX-FRA directly with UA.

Priceline stopped displaying

Was $223 Ord to LHR at least thru mid-March 2009 spring break. But at about 2 a.m. Central Time Priceline stopped displaying the United/BMI connecting thru IAD option. So possibly it is now dead.

No, still alive - I'm looking at rates as we speak.

No problem. The one-way is what's killing me right now as well...

I've been trying to make anything work ahead of ORD, or even to swap to a different hub, but no dice. Any luck on your end with a more attractive deal for us west-coasters?

Unfortunately not

Even though UA has some 855$ fares to FRA, in case you have vouchers thats the best as of now

Edit: I get the PL thing ex LAX for 726$ LAX-IAD-LHR-LAX !

My three week stay seems to be working OK - nothing in the 200's, but I'm searching for October 1st...

Priceline not displaying --amended

Let me amend my earlier post. As of about 2a.m. Priceline is no longer displaying the ORD/Dulles/LHR option as their first listing. However, if you choose the multi-city option and connect thru Dulles the fare still is available.
