Cheap Flights: Dallas to London $713 r/t – Delta / SkyTeam

[01/08/2016 @ 2:08 PM] Open this itinerary on: Orbitz, CheapTickets, BookingBuddy, Priceline, Travelocity, Expedia, Hotwire.
[01/08/2016 @ 5:28 PM] Fare gone. God I hate Delta sales.
[01/11/2016  @ 5:06 PM] Fare is back.
[01/12/2016 @ 11:45 AM] Fare gone, again. The up and down nature of Delta’s fares is pretty annoying.

Delta and SkyTeam partners have round-trip flights from Dallas (DFW / DAL) to London (LHR) for $713, with a connection. Flights midweek from January to March. This destination usually prices from $890 to $1300. See the Flight Details section of this post for example booking dates.

Delta deals tend to be very short lived, which is why I usually don’t cover them. Hopefully this fare will be around for a while, but I wouldn’t count on it.

Note: When selecting your flights on Orbitz, you’ll want to make sure you’re returning to the same airport (DFW or DAL) that you flew in on.

If you want to see other deals that are still bookable you should check out the “Bookable Deals” page on our site. It filters out deals that have expired, or have low availability.

Orbitz and CheapTickets have a search tool that looks for flights 3-days before and after the dates you’ve selected, you should use it if you have a general idea of when you want to travel, but want to see other prices for other dates close to the ones you’ve selected. On Orbitz, you can pull it up by selecting “Flexible Dates” on the search results screen. Click the link to zoom in on the screenshot example below.

To save the most money, be sure to apply the travel coupon codes available at the bottom of this post. Booking your trip as a flight + hotel package will probably save you more money than booking each separately. Package deals on Orbitz and CheapTickets tend to be better than what are offered directly by the airline, so be sure to compare them before booking.

Note: OTAs such as Orbitz and Priceline allow free cancellation without penalty before 10 PM central time the day after you purchase. As deals sell-out or expire quickly, this policy will allow you to “lock-in” the cheap fare while you sort out a plan. Just keep in mind that after 10 PM the next day, you will not be able to cancel without the regular penalty. On Orbitz, you can easily see if your ticket allows a free cancellation, just look for “FREE Cancel” next to the price of the ticket.

Most airlines also offer 24-hour free cancellation with varying policies. For example American Airlines allows you to “Hold” a ticket before payment for 24-hours but once you pay for it you can’t cancel without a change fee or penalty, even if it was purchased less than 24-hours ago.

I was able to price this fare on BookingBuddy and Orbitz. I had trouble getting it to price on most other booking sites. Screenshot taken at 2:14 PM on 01/08/16.
