Flights to London - why so expensive?

Anonymous
I travel to the UK for work a couple times a year and I always remember the fares being dirt cheap during the winter, especially in January and February. I'm seeing all fares around $2500 round trip for economy (no Saturday night stay) right now. Anyone know why? I don't see London in February as a popular destination, unless you like 35 degrees and rain and 7 hours of murky daylight.

Economy fares won't coast you $2500 but Business class might.

Huh? They're cheap right now. $2,500 is ridiculous. I paid less than that when I bought a one way ticket when my dad passed away and I needed to leave that day.

You obviously don't know how to book a ticket. Use Kayak. Just 10-15 mins ago, my sister was here and we booked a 5 day trip to London for her from 2/13 to 2/17 so no Saturday night stay. It cost her $525 on Virgin Atlantic. Non-stop both ways.

6:45p --> 7:00a
IAD --> LHR
7h 15m nonstop

12:00p --> 3:50p
LHR --> IAD
8h 50m nonstop

You're nuts if you think there are only $2500 fares so please check PROPERLY next time!
