My family are talking about heading out to California at the start of August for a few weeks, but the cheapest flights we've been getting are around £1200 and that's not even direct.

The previous years we went the most we paid was around £600, and we always booked fairly late in the year.

Who does cheap(er) flights, or does anyone know good ways of booking?

We tried from Heathrow, but still couldn't get a direct flight.. Idealy we want to fly from Belfast or Dublin, with as short of flight as possible..

This August? It is a little late to get the best prices, try www.kayak.co.uk and use the flexible option. You didn't mention which destination airport either, I assume not LAX or SFO since you said you couldn't get a direct flight?

But overall the prices are up quite a bit on last year, but "only" around 20%.

edit: I had a quick look and it seems like it is booked quite full even from London, so the prices are high and not many options :/
