US Airways Sale To UK: It Rules

Summer is traditionally the season for budget-busting blockbuster movies, but also budget-busting European vacations. But while this summer's "X-Men: Origins," "Star Trek" and other major franchises might still break box-office records, visitors to London might be able to come in under budget thanks to US Airways' major peak-season sale to Jolly Olde.

Airfare Watchdog initially zoomed in on fares from Ohio to the U.K. via London's Gatwick Airport, but how about $620 round-trip from Denver? Or $549 from Seattle? It remains to be seen if the pound will cooperate, of course, but with a cheap flight you'll be able to pinch some pence.

We wonder if London mayor Boris Johnson might be sending a thank-you card to US Airways for their cooperation. Johnson just announced the city was pouring £2 million into a new tourism campaign with the slogan "Only in London" for British Tourism Week. Savvy travelers who buy this week won't be the only ones in London this summer, but at least they'll know they did it for less.
