We will be doing a Transatlantic cruise in May 2014 and returning in June or July by AA. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
Can you please clarify...your title states LAX to LHR, but your statement says returning after a TATL. So, are you looking for tix to Europe or home from? If home from, any reason why you want to fly from LHR?
As others have posted, fees will be much lower from a different airport. AA is very stingy with their biz seats, so we flew home on AB with much better availability and had a great experience.
