The big news in the holidayâs market at the moment is that due to rising fuel costs and other charges, our ten year or so grace period of cheap flights going here there and everywhere is coming to a sad end. Many new flight companies started over the past few years all competing against one another for the cheapest flights and holidays on offer, companies like EasyJet and RyanAir have managed to capitalise on this trend and have seen millions of pounds worth of business in recent years.The trouble is, with all the fuel prices rising and holidaymakers simply not being able to afford to travel as much with other aspects of home life costing more, many flights companies have gone under, unable to cope with the rising costs of the industry. Industry heavyweights like RyanAir have admitted that business is slowing and should they have been a smaller business then they surely would have struggled to stay out of the red themselves.One possible solution for one flights company is to auction off their flights. The company JetBlue Airways Corp is offering over 300 roundtrip flights to the USA as well as four âmystery vacationâ packages as a part of the auction spree. The bidding starts at 5 or 10 cents and is expected to be a big hit with holiday makers.Many marketing executives have commented how itâs a great way to get some âword of mouthâ publicity for the budget airline. The locations on offer range from the Bahamas and Las Vegas and the taxes and fees are to be added on to the total unfortunately but it is expected that frugal holiday makers can bag one of these flight deals for ninety five percent of the original price so there are plenty of bargains to be had, all you need to do is make sure you have a Paypal account ready.

Only Virgin and BMI fly direct to Las Vegas from the UK, but is there any plans for any other airlines such as the American ones to start going direct?

Best Answer awarded to whoever finds me the cheapest flight from the UK to Las Vegas. Any airport will do, preferably Birmingham. The flight must be Direct with no stops and price is to include taxes.
Forgot to add the dates. I am flexible within the next couple of months.
