It was a big banner ad somewhere on sfgate -- although when I looked again, I noticed fine print that said something like "one way when round trip purchased" which I suppose means the fare is actually double. But even then it's not too shabby. The kicker for me though is that you have to travel by 1 May.

OK, obsessively had to find it again, here you go:

The fare is double $215 IF you travel on very specific days meaning you'll have to be in London for atleast a week leaving and returning on Sun-Tues but some Mondays are expensive for some reason. And there is more fine print as you look at travel dates: "Fares exclude taxes, fees and charges of approximately $113.55" so $430 + $114 = $544 not including a week-long stay in London with the British pound clobbering the US dollar, takes $2 dollars to equal 1 british pound right now - ouch. And I thought $1.50 to 1 british pound was bad.

See? Doesn't look so great now, does it.
