A couple days ago I mentioned a great deal on a lovely hotel in London, and now I’m back to tell you about a sale on airfare to get you to the English capital in the first place. These great fares come to us courtesy of Virgin Atlantic, which is offering airline tickets to London starting at just $396 round-trip. Some of the round-trip fares you’ll find available right now are:

• New York-London $396
• Boston or Washington DC-London $426
• Chicago-London $446
• San Francisco or Los Angeles-London $596

For most of the departure points, you can travel anytime between December 24, 2008 and March 22, 2009 - but each departure city has different valid travel dates, so be sure to check the complete terms and conditions before you book your ticket. You’ll need to book by December 29, 2008 in order to take advantage of this deal.
