Top tips for finding a cheap flight out of the United Kingdom

  • Two airports that facilitate flights to South Carolina are located along the eastern seaboard that borders the Atlantic Ocean. Charleston AFB Municipal Airport (CHS) is the primary of the two and located due south of the state capital, Columbia, while Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR) lies to the east of Columbia.
  • Delta flights from Birmingham Airport (BHX) to Charleston Airport (in conjunction with its SkyTeam partners KLM and Air France) will stop either at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS) or Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) before making connections at New York John F Kennedy Airport (JFK), Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport (ATL) or Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW) en route to Charleston.
  • However, flights solely aboard Delta leaving London Heathrow Airport (LHR) will stop first at Detroit Metropolitan Airport and then Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport before continuing on to South Carolina. Delta also offers flights from Heathrow to Myrtle Beach Airport that may stop first at Boston Logan Airport (BOS) or JFK Airport, then Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport.
  • Alternatively, British Airways also offers flights to Charleston leaving from London Heathrow Airport. A few of these are direct flights and others involve connections.

Had a plane! Have a plan! Have my luggage! 10 hours of travel turned into 50 hours. Good Lord!

The travel on premium economy class was very positive. Comfortable with plenty of space and leg room. The service throughout was top notch. Crew members were kind and helpful. Food and entertainment were excellent.

Based on my wife's damaged condition, BA very kindly upgraded us from cattle to business class. MUCH appreciated!! One of these days, as it gains more experience, BA MAY learn how to depart on time (with over 30 years experience with BA, no flight has EVER managed to leave on time), Once airborne, the entertainment was ever so very pedestrian. But the flight was uneventful and the cabin crew's service was superb. And whichever driver landed the aircraft had obviously done it before. But BA unfortunately is learning from that scuzzy airline Delta. Delta is ALWAYS stunned when one of its aircraft actually turns up anywhere and is NEVER ready to receive it -- even when it turns up where and more or less when it is supposed to, NOT an example worthy of emulation.

Incredible. The upgrade to Business was a phenomenal way to end my trip, beyond grateful for the generosity and hospitality.

Great! Apart from small sitting in one the flight everything else was good

It was pretty decent mostly cause I have leg room.

God food! Although some of the snacks were not to my taste. Nice amenities in premium economy made for a comfortable flight. The pilot was able to make up about half the time we were delayed in the ground (we were delayed over an hour before takeoff due to a shortage of tugs) Nice movie selection for entertainment. We were last to board the second leg of our flight due to.complications during transfer from the first flight of our trip, but did manage to board in time. We really enjoyed the video presentation for flight safety. Hilarious gets your attention! Really nice, sufficient accommodations for overhead storage, didn't seem crowded or jam packed. I enjoyed being able to track the flight on my monitor. I was disappointed that there wasn't free WiFi during the flight, I thought that was a complimentary service but you had to pay extra. It felt like we were nickled and dimed on that one.

That airplane is the most uncomfortable I’ve ever flown! Flight 267 LON-PDX Aug 10, 26 The middle armrests didn’t go up all the way. The aisle arm rest didn’t raise at all. The leg room area was compromised by a large metal box on both exterior seats. The headrests didn’t flatten. We got an email apologizing for no WiFi, but on the plane we’re told there would be WiFi. I never got it to connect. Pre-boarding support was great. Boarding was smooth. Crew was great. Food was DELICIOUS. A different plane would have resulted in a much better score.

My luggage was lost at the airport but American Airlines contacted me and got it to me the next day.

We paid for Business Class seats, but system did not have us and they were not available.
