Qualifying is over and the Olympics are just a few short weeks away. Most industry experts, including myself, had little hope for affordable last-minute airfare to London; however, we have discovered some great value in business class flights and roundtrip economy seats for under $1,000. If that’s too pricey, browse the rest our top flight deals including New York City and other domestic deals.

More Domestic Flight Deals
Here are some other great flight deals found by our experts this week:
- $128-$138 — Chicago to Orlando Nonstop (R/T incl. tax) – Usually flights are around $250 on this popular route.
- $138-$148 — Washington, D.C. to Ft. Lauderdale Nonstop (R/T incl. tax) – Short flight, but due to competition among carriers it can often cost nearly $200.
- $118-$163 — Dallas to Las Vegas (R/T incl. tax) – Shocked to see this below $200, much less under $150 on some dates.
- $186-$199 — Denver to Seattle (R/T incl. tax) – This saves at least $50 on regular pricing for this route.
- $316 — Los Angeles to Puerto Rico (R/T incl. tax) – Fares are actually even less than $316, but require two stops, so we are endorsing the one-stop pricing. This easily saves $150 on the typical price.
