West Coast USA to Manchester

Can someone help me find a direct flight from the left coast to Manchester next March on VS metal?

SFO, LAS, LAX, etc., doesn't really matter, although prefer LAS (Centurion Lounge).

I'm getting conflicting versions of the truth on Expert Flyer, VS Flight Maps, VS booking system, etc.

Utterly frustrated. :(!

The only direct flight to the west coast from MAN is to LAS. And IIRC it's summer only (from the very end of March) and only twice weekly.

Nabbed SFO - LHR in early April for ~GBP1,400 + 50K miles. EC to G. I guess value is in the eye of the beholder, but do y'all consider this a good deal?

You might have been able to fly from Dublin and get that price without the miles... A few days ago.

But VS 747s don't fly to Dublin!

You start your trip from Dublin using expedia to book , normally some great prices to be had in business/first

Born & raised in Manchester and family still lives there and want to make the most of UC, hence left coast vs east coast.

Couldn't find MAN flight with availability and dates that worked so VS042 it is.

All-in-all, happy with what we paid. PE MCO - MAN in March was ~£1,000.

Just discovered we'll be on an A340-600 which isn't a desirable IMHO as a 747 but hey oh.
