This should reduce the excuses.....we are expecting all UK members to attend!

[lazerzubb]

Oh well it sounded to good to be true.

Fares in £ (GBP). Prices do not include taxes. Taxes vary with up to £72 per person in First and Business classes and up to £62 per person in Economy class.

268 + 62 + 62 + 5 = 397
397£ the normal price for 2 persons :(

That's the trouble with these 'deals'. You can usually buy two flights for a slightly cheeper price online!

When is the pubcon and is there a price for it yet?

[topr8]

the deal is collect 8 vouchers ... only 1 a day (times and sunday times)

vouchers printed every day until jan 26th

actually started at beginning of the week but still time to collect 8 - just.

i don't think the tax to boston is that high, some of the other places have higher airport taxes.

anyone know the taxes to usa from uk.

this offer is for uk residents only.

[lazerzubb]

Normal AA tax from London to Boston it around £50, which doesn't make it much cheaper.

I was meesing around with Virgin Atlantic, and got a price of around £250 return.

now just waiting for the official dates.
