However, I was looking now at booking a one way business class to London for Late Sept/Early Oct and most of the major airlines want $6,000-7,000. The selection is also less then I remember too.

Is this normal or am I booking way too early? As ive noticed also if you book to early it can get expensive as well.

Also JW how is Iceland Air's and Aer Lingus business class product? How does it compare to say Virgin, United, or BA?
You'll fit in well at LSE.
