Travel between US and UK?

[SaskiaTas]

I noticed that there are quite a few members here from the UK, so I thought I'd try asking here. I'm taking my parents to visit my sister in London in April, and since I am the most 'computer savvy' it has become my job to research and find the best rates for flights. We do have some leeway on our flight dates, so I'm hoping to get something reasonable.

I'm pretty familiar with finding low fares within the US, and there is a website that will predict whether fares are going to go up or down over the next 30 days but again that is also only in the US.

Does anyone know of good websites to compare international flight prices to the UK? (Not sure if it matters, but we will likely be going from Detroit to Heathrow.) Also, has anyone come up with a fare prediction site for international flights yet?

Thanks for any tips you can offer!

Have you tried http://www.orbitz.com ?

I usually go to http://www.lastminute.com when I am in the UK and http://www.fr.lastminute.com when I am in France.

We are very lucky in that DH company pays for all 4 of us to return to the UK twice a year. When family visit us they use the airlines direct, they all choose to fly with British Airways. So maybe check them out, also Virgin Atlantic offer some good deals from time to time.

My sister is flying out to visit me in March and she has paid $750 round trip, but that is London Heathrow to LAX.

Not sure if that helps you or not.
