Default Cheapest flights to the USA?

Just wanted to ask what or where would be the best place to go for a return ticket? are the last minute flight tickets any good or is it better to book in advance, also when is it the cheapest time, day season etc, any ideas on what I should expect to pay would be good too..
Thank you

In economy they are all pretty cheap now....as long as you book more than a couple of weeks in advance, and your stay includes a saturday night.

The BA sale ends tonight... If you buy tonight (and sign up to the exec club online for an extra £20 off each flight) you should be able to get very cheap flights

We are going to San Francisco at Easter and we managed to get 2 adults and 2 children for £1025.

Last year we got Boston tickets at the same time of year by BA for £220 (per adult) and they were fine

All flying from Heathrow

it is 100% free

i always opt out of the CDW insurance, its not compulsary and they would rather you take it out, but i never have

just have to make sure you dont crash, the roads are bigger than ours so its easy

the rental companies they use on the offers are Dollar Herts and Avis. ive done it at least 10 times

i have an advert here if you want some details. i will be back this afternoon
