    Looking for a cheap return ticket to Dallas around last week for June for around 8 days.

    Checked on the KLM site. At the end of may its showing around €450 but it jumps to around €750 for June end :(

    Any one any idea?

    Orbitz.com - is this site reliable. Its showing cheaper prices for the BA flights for whats on their site.

    Yes Orbitz are reliable, they are used by millions and are cheaper because they are a consolidator

    I use orbitz for price comparison and booking and can vouch for it.

    I lived in Dallas and the best flight to take there from the Uk and Ireland is with BA.

    Check the prices from london direct - because you can possible pick up a flight from here to London for little or nothing, then if you pay in £ you will save even more.

    Theres a United airlines flight out of London via Charlotte with travelocity, there's a few hours stopover on the outbound leg but the total cost of the flight is only €303 compared to €650 that BA are seeking, you'd only have to get a flight to London which will cost very little booking now. Thats flying out June 22nd and returning July 1st

    Sorry about coming late on this.

    Booked the ticket from Orbitz, going on 25th June and returning back on 2nd July for €435. It's a BA flight with one stop to London Heathrow.

    Thanks again for the great tip about Orbitz :D

    FYI: I checked the travel agents as well and they quoted €603 for the same flight. Did not find it cheaper anywhere else.
