[Milton-L] Query re standard summer airfare to London

[Carol Barton]

Hello, everyone!

I don't usually fly to London in peak season, and haven't been there in a couple of years (last trip was before the price of oil went into the stratosphere!) so I have nothing to go by, to determine what is and is not a "bargain" fare. (The least expensive I've seen from 'DC to Heathrow is over $1,000.) Could someone more familiar with the vagaries of the airfare market in peak season for trips to Europe from the States give those of us who need to be in London in July an idea of what it should cost, and--perhaps even more importantly--how long we should wait to book tickets? 

Thanks much for any insight you can offer. I'm sure others are suffering "sticker shock," too, and I haven't been able to get anyone at British Airways/Virgin Atlantic, Orbitz, Expedia, or even the trip advisor sites to give me a straight answer on this.

Best to all--

Carol Barton
