<p>What are the best sites?
Best airlines?
Best baggage policies?</p>
<p>The southwest airlines of the flight across the pond?
Then the best flights for UK-continent travel?</p>
<p>Any tips would be appreciated, with 2 kids doing study abroad activities.</p>
<p>Given the ‘deals’ I read about, I am surprised at the expensive fares I am seeing on actual sites :(</p>
<p>kayak.com</p>
<p>That’s a good one.</p>
<p>Look in the Sunday travel section of major newspapers like the NY times for ads by consolidators – often the best way to get the cheapest airfares for international flights. Airlineconsolidator.com (specializes in discount international flights) and Sidestep.com (both domestic and international flights) are also very good sites for finding cheap airline tickets.</p>
