I’d like to go to London for a three-day two-night trip in October. I was hoping to find an air fare under $700, but the lowest fare I find at priceline.com is $902. But then when I look at flight & hotel combos, I can get one at $829, with the hotel being an apparently good hotel at a convenient address. That doesn’t seem to make sense to me, and I’m wondering if there is some disadvantage that isn’t occurring to me. Even if one did not want a hotel, it would be cheaper to make the trip with the flight & hotel combo.
Last time I went to London I booked the flight and the hotel separately. The flight was about $650 and the hotel (two nights) was about $320.
