I've been tracking prices of flights from various places (LAX, PHX, LAS,
etc) to Glasgow and the prices are still around $1400 for around the dates of June 18th to June 27th. I am able to be flexible somewhat with my dates, but I need/like to be there during the week of the 20th (husband has a conference there). Can anyone come up with suggested alternate routes? I've thought of flying PHX to NYC, NYC to London, then London to Glasgow on a budget airline or even drive to Glasgow from London. I've also looked at Boston for an alternative and DC. Would their be any other point in Europe that I might get a cheap flight to and then book another flight (next day) to Glasgow? I really would like to take this trip, but am not willing to shell out $1400 - when I could spend a week in Hawaii for less than this amount including hotel and car!! TIA...much appreciated! |

It looks like you can get LAX to LHR (London) for $868 for your dates on AA. I found tickets for $140 (on BMI) from LHR to Glasgow on Travelocity (for June 19-27), so if you get them from the airline, you might save the $5 fee. That puts the total around $1000. |

LAX-GLA 6/19 6/26 1081.16 tax included
that is a consolidator fare - high penalty for change and cancel with some not allowed at all it looks like seat availability might be a large part of your shopping difficulty - as in - the lower fares have already been purchased by others - but for 6/19 and 6/26 a few seats haven't been sold yet "cj" wrote in message news:_sq8c.1576$Q45.1306@fed1read02...

I'm not sure what you are looking for. Flights from LAX to Glasgow are
as low as $1200 on travelocity. You might get $100 -200 lower by playing around with connections or a consolidator. It's unlikely that you will manage to get significantly under $1000 for an early high season ticket.

They appear to be more like $700 than £70. And you have to add getting
to Vancouver. Next they have no flights available on the appropriate schedule. FFM Jon wrote: If you could to go to Canada Zoom fly from Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver, Halifax and Ottawa to Glasgow for about £70 www.flyzoom.com |

Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions. Found tickets for $588 +
tax to London and we'll drive up to Glasgow. Not a bad deal for prime travel season and the segment across the Atlantic is on Virgin!! cj wrote: I've been tracking prices of flights from various places (LAX, PHX, LAS, etc) to Glasgow and the prices are still around $1400 for around the dates of June 18th to June 27th.
