Where can I find last minute airline tickets to London for under $1,000?

Question

I was invited at the last minute and I would love to go but the cost is expensive at such short notice. My travel dates are July 24th through August 1st.

Answer 1

At many airports you have a " Last Minute Travel" counter that sells tickets - from different airlines - at a very discounted price. (philosophy behind this : sell the last seats available at the very last minute >>>>better to sell at discounted prices than not to make a last minute sale)  They do not have tickets to all destination but you may still get lucky.

There are also some websites that offer cheap tickets but - i am sorry - I don't remember the names.

Wish you luck and sending Positive Energy your way!

Answer 3

It's helpful to know where you are flying from. For instance USAir would sell some tickets with three days notice from their hub in Philadelphia. Sometimes Zoom airlines has good fares, but they go to very limited places in the United States.

  However, you are travelling at the peak of the season. $1000 will barely cover the fuel cost of flying you. London is so expensive that you can blow hundreds a day on modest accomodations, basic food and simple entertainment. If your invitation comes with a place to sleep, I would jump on it. The extra airfare will be minor in the long run. You never know, the British pound may cost US$3 by next year.
