A good £180-200 more expensive than expedia - does this qualify for their $50 "best price guarentee" as well as a reasonably cheap stateside trip?

No, and it's V class so earns 25% miles in Flying Blue.

Just a quick ITA check shows that, using two separate tickets, in the month of June you can get a LGW-JFK return ($701) combined with a JFK-MCO return ($158) for a total of $859. That as opposed to the best fare of $1285 showing in June on ITA for a straight LGW-MCO return. Still not much of a MR but a good reminder to always look for separate tickets as well as for point to point returns.

i've seen a few instances in the past where flights are cheaper on expedia or orbitz than NWA.com, but each time i've tried to buy them, it says that the fare is no longer available and it reprices out to the higher NWA.com fare. dunno what the glitch is....sometimes it does it for days
