We recommend that you use Google Flights to find dates to fly, then book through an online travel agency, such as Orbitz or Expedia, which allows you to cancel flights without penalty by 11pm Eastern Time within one day of booking. However, if you’re using the American Express Platinum Card, you’ll need to book directly with the airline or through the Amex Travel portal to get 5x MR points. Remember: Fares may disappear quickly, so book right away and take advantage of Orbitz or Expedia’s courtesy cancellation if you’re unable to get the time away from work or family.British Airways is offering round-trip flights from US and Canadian cities to London from just $462 round-trip, including cities on the West Coast. For example, you can fly nonstop from Los Angeles to London for only $554, which is phenomenal for long-haul service. Availability is wide open too, with flights being offered from now through September 2017. These prices are even available in peak summer travel months. You may also be able to find similar fares on flights operated by American, Delta, United and Virgin Atlantic.Finally, these flights are eligible for the AARP and Visa discounts, which in some cases will bring your fare as low as $330 round-trip.
