AUS to LON (LHR or LGW)

[KeithB]

I'm looking for a fall trip at the end of Sept for 3 weeks or so. My dates are flexible. Published fares are around $945.

I'm wary about booking on priceline because I don't want to fly to a connecting city at 6 am and then have a 10 hr layover, as Ive seen on some other travel sites like Kayak. Also, unless savings are substantial, I'm better off paying the fare and getting the 1,0000+ airline miles I think. Any thoughts anyone? I haven't seen any winning bids to London here.

I usually pay the fare and get the miles. I can never find a flight which leaves at a reasonable time and has a good cnxn, as you say. Never found super discounted flights eater but I am very likely not looking hard enough

You won't get a 10 hour layover, as from the chart below shows the longest layover would be 6 hours (with the average being 2.3 hours... although do nite that the information is a bit old as the chart hasn't been updated since 2005... i would still expect the maximum connection to be as indicated, but the average has likely changed a little over the years)
