The cheapest you will find ex-US are currently $1800 roundtrip. DL/VS/AF/KL coordinate fare filings between US and EU as part of TATL JV (it can pay to check fares on Google Flights as, while they coordinate fare filings, there can inventory availability differences on individual flights depending on marketing carrier).




Well, we just don't know for how long the OP is away when he travels from LON to Upstate New York; presumably, he would have found those Saturday-night-stay fares if he qualified for them.

My guess is that for someone London based traveling on business, it typically would be easier to satisfy a Saturday-night-stay requirement when originating from the U.S. than when originating from LON.
