I use the people I hace cut-n-pasted below for most of my flights, they are sometimes beaten on price but not often. I.e. Heahrow-Los Angeles £199+Tax last time I went!!!

Just send them an email and each day they will email you a list of flight and holidays going cheap. They coverboth last minute and future dates so quite good.

I have also used ebookers, they are usually the ones that beat travelfinders if anyone does.

Julian.

You wouldn't be ian 'jetcareers' wannabe would you?

I'd try <a href="http://www.flynow.com" target="_blank">www.flynow.com</a> (I think). I got a return to Orlando via Philly on April 2nd last year for about £230. It may well have been less, I can't remember.

As Sensible reccommends, I always use <a href="http://www.travelocity.com" target="_blank">www.travelocity.com</a> - very reliable (usually next day delivery). They don't try to impress by advertising 'unavailable' bargains - hooks straight into Sabre, so if the fares available you can buy it here - don't accept the first one you're offered though - select a few different flights any you might find somthing cheaper.

Slightly off subject, sounds like you lot get over to the states quite often (I assume to fly). Any tips for a PPL student who wants to have a go at flying over there. I just want to see what it's like etc. Not interested in going to a 'factory' where I can get my licence in a couple of weeks, but wouldn't mind 5 or 10 hours fair weather flying to get me through the winter and see how the other half lives. Anyone done this while they were still a student?

Knobby,

Last time I was in Californa (Sept 01), Rainbow Air were offering a 'try fly' deal. I can't remember the exact number of hours but believe it was about 15, the idea being you could go up and gain a few hours with an instructor but without pressure, if you liked it then you were free to carry on the course to get your PPL.

I think the deal also included hotel accomdation and was based around 14 days, they may be flexible if you ring them though.

Ian,

there is a website called jetcareers.com (very much like this one) whose JAA contributor is called Ian and if i'm not mistaken from the San Diego area. I believe he's over here trying to gain sponsorship.

Seems to be good - But I can't say for definite as I haven't bought off them yet...
