Im curious what kind of flight prices ya'll can help me find for the following...

Either Orlando, Jacksonville, Ft. Lauderdale, Tampa, or Miami FL to London.

Or Orlando, Jacksonville, Ft. Lauderdale, Tampa, or Miami FL to Amsterdam.

Dates: Oct 3rd - Oct 8th

We actually found a really good rate ($324) that went to london with a connection in Amsterdam. (Best of Both Worlds) They would just skip the second leg of the flight, chill with me in amsterdam for 2-3 days, then take a quick hop over to London with a cheap airline. Then leave 2 or so days later from London on the return trip.

Any help is MUCH appreciated.

BTW: So far weve been lookin at statravel.com and studentuniverse.com

i can get ticket to florida returns for 300 with taxes easy from london gatwick or heathrow or luton or stanstead.

the budgets operating from london are easyjet.com, go gofly.com, virgin atlantic, KLM is the netherlands national, and virgin has a low cost subsid from amsterdam, but i forget the name, if you go to flightbookers.com youll get the feel for prices intraeurope, also you can get the eurostar (channel tunnel train) from london to brussels at least, maybe to amsterdam as well now.

lastminute.com isnt the cheapest but is a good reference travel portal, also teletext.co.uk has a big last min section.

KLM's budget airline is Martinair.

Look them up for the ticket to Amsterdam and see what they can do for you. One of my roommates is from Arnhem and flies with Martinair all the time.

Really? Wow, didn't know they were so expensive.

You may want to check in the travel section of the Saturday or Sunday local paper and see if any of the local agencies have some good deals going on right now...

no im in the uk so 300stlg/ 450usd return plus 60usd taxes. a good source would be the yahoo uk directory as well.
i can get a 250stlg return to san fran and la, and a 220 one to ny and floria if i look, but then you have to pay extra taxes, all these deals get adv in teletext and in the sat/ sun thetimes.co.uk telegraph.co.uk. in london there are loads of cheap hostels as well, if you are on your own.
