I was just speaking with a coworker who's planning a trip to London in
December. She said that Virgin Atlantic had fares in the $250 range
for round-trip out of either Newark or JFK. Of course, December isn't
peak travel season, so prices will be less...but perhaps Dory should
price out tix from London to a bigger east coast airport and then from
that airport to Tampa, to see which way she'll come out with a lower
fare, overall.
