As of this week, Austinites may now fly nonstop from Bergstrom International to London Heathrow aboard a shiny new 787 Dreamliner from British Airways.

Flights operate five times weekly through May, when daily service begins.

We found seats departing AUS on Monday, March 24, and returning from LHR on Thursday, April 3, for $972 round-trip, including all taxes. Not exactly cheap, but it is the lowest. And it's nonstop! On a Dreamliner!

Still, you'll notice in the image below that of our $971.75 fare, $698.75 of that is taxes and fees. Yikes!
