FC Airfares

A while back I was quite proud that I got myself flights to LA in January for £285 as I got them discounted from £400 using a special deal with Mastercard / AA. However the same flights this month now cost £298. Further to that, the flights that Virgin were selling last month for £500 are now going for £280. Now historically I've preferred Virgin as I felt like I was getting a better level of service for the money, however I wasn't too impressed with the flight out to Chicago when I was en-route to AC earlier this year due to the small seats with no legroom and standard entertainment system. That seemed to be much better on the way back from JFK as it was a bigger plane (747-400 as opposed to the Airbus A340) which had the more recent entertainment system and more leg room but still narrow seats.

Now, my parents have suprisingly been to the states more times than I have and they recommend AA over Virgin due to their larger seats in economy (as I'm not a small person that's always good). I've looked into the entertainment system and they don't have anything more advanced than a bunch of tapes running on 2hr loops which I really hate (Why they don't all just use Video on Demand I'll never know). Other than that I've been reliably informed that AA are up to the standard of quality you get from Virgin anyway, it's just not British :P

Anyway, it now seems that flights are now rock bottom price if you were looking to get to FC!
