Now that London Heathrow International Airport’s Terminal 5 is open for business, as many of 50 of the 90 airlines that operate from Heathrow will begin transferring operations to their new home in Terminal 5. British Airways will move 70 percent of its Heathrow operations to the new terminal, and also moving some of its Gatwick business to T5 as well.

American Airlines will transfer all its Gatwick services to Terminal 5, and with the new open skies agreement between the European Union and the United States, many more American airlines will be able to fly freely between the US and Heathrow. Continental, US Airways, Delta and Northwest will all begin their trans-Atlantic services from T5 when the agreement takes effect march 30th.

Terminal 5 is not the last of the Heathrow building projects. Terminal 2 will be torn down (to the delight of many) to make way for the Heathrow East facility, which will accommodate the Star Alliance in time for the 2012 Olympic Games.

To find good fares, you have to play around a little. If you go to USAir you can play around with one date at a time as you try to book flights. With each date you see a series of different fares and can move up one day or back a day until you find the best combination of fares. Most of the fares were coming out to about $1200 plus tax, but then I found a $420 fare one way. Thinking that since there was $420 fare to Greece then I assumed that there must be a $420 fair from Greece so I began searching day to day. I was trying to spend about a month in Greece so I tried to keep a 30 day span between flights. I wasn not able to get the full 30 days, but I did end up finding flights for $840 plus taxes(approximately $960 including taxes) for Aug 26-Sept 24. That was a pretty good deal, but last year we got open jaw flights from RDU to Milan and Athens to RDU for $2100(2 adults and 1 child) including taxes and then got 35 euro per person flights from Milan to Athens. So, I’m going to let these tickets go… but you may want to check them out.(By the way, the last day that USAir flies from Athens is about Sept 30, so there are no October returns to the US from Athens on USAir!)

$672 including taxes….

I found flights on Iclelandic Air from JFK to Berlin and and JFK to Paris for $672 per adult including taxes. I searched on the booking engine using a 30 day stay between Sept and Oct 2008. Flights are not available for all dates, but I did manage to find a few days that did offer the $672 including taxes…. that’s a pretty good deal! I think it’s workth it to Search different departure and destination cities and different dates to see what you find!
