Yes, I got email from them yesterday, return flights from £299.
I am useing then again in August, flying out with Virgin using miles then return via Chigago with BMI for £235. A bargain in August.
Used them 3 times now. Personally think they are the best transatlantic carrier around, planes have always been good, seat back TV, 2 cameras outside plane that let you look in front of plane and down under the plane. good food, happy staff.
Thay have some flights around Oct half term for just over £400 each if anyone is looking.
If only they would fly direct to Orlando

Yes, Oct is when I'm looking for and I thought the prices looked great compared to virgin's at the mo , the only thing that put's me off is the idea of indirect, this is something we've never done

We have no problems at all changing in any US airport, you get the immigration and customs done and out of the way so when you arrive in Orlando its directly to the car rental desk. We have gone thru many airport never a problem, just leave at least 90 mins from arriving to departure.
We stopped off in Chicago again this October going to Vegas then LA. from landing thru Immigration and customs then to Departure desk took exactly 60 mins.
I have a £100 rule, if its more than £100 return to fly direct I won't pay it. For 3 of us £300 its worth the slight inconvenience.
Thats my point of view, others wont even entertain indirect.

Hi

We have done that route with bmi, it was good, I liked O'hare airport. we only had about a 2 hour window there.
