My flight Virgin airlines Vegas-> London, I got on "mates rates" (their friends and family discount plan), still cost me around $1100ish - with nearly half of that in taxes and fuel surcharges ($700 for the ticket, the rest in fees/fuel/taxes)
It's substantially cheaper come the first couple of weeks of October than the summer so it's a good time to do it. I'd say I'd love to pop over and say hullo, but I'll probably be in Colorado for my best mate's wedding in October
