How much would it cost to go from California to England?

How much would it cost to go to California for two weeks from England, Germany or Belgium?

• I've been trying to find out myself but I end up in confusion: I want to see which is the cheapest and I'd like to know it for both summer and winter, since they seem different.

• Answer:

  I have done this trip many times. Cheapest is winter time, low season flying.My last tickets were all around 540 euros, from Brussels. With United from Brussels. Summer tickets are almost double. Tickets go down in price after August 23. UK used to have cheap tickets but they have a new CO2 tax on flight tickets (that obviously does nothing for CO2) which is proportional to the distance so they now cost more. The cheapest is Belgium. Less flight taxes and many airlines take you to the US, none to California direct. You can fly to Atlanta and JFK (Delta), JFK and Chicago (AA), Philadelphia (US Airways), Washington and Chicago (United). NewYork. Newark (Continental and Jet Airways). You connect from there. Staying in CA would depend on where. Best deals are hotel coupons, which you either find in free guides placed in MacDonalds or BurgerKing or Denny's, or you print them yourself (www.hotelcoupons.com). You probably should rent a car. Cost is from $15 and up. Remember that there is no insurance in the US, and it costs at least $20/day. I also get medical coverage; it is real cheap. I use www.sevenborders.com (click visitors). It costs about $30 per week.
