Simple enough of a question in the subject field, I think.

I've never gotten a scandalously low airfare, sadly.

Without a doubt $99 one way Boston to Dublin. Feb 2004

I didnt get it, but about 2 years ago, I could have gone round trip from Omaha (of all places) to london for like 215 plus taxes. Unheard of.

In the early days of Southwest Airlines, one could often fly round trip to many of their destinations for $39.95 and your friend flys free. I used that for Sacramento to Phoenix/El Paso/San Diego and others many times.

When I was a student at MIT way back in the mid 80s, I used to be able to fly home to New Jersey for $19 -- I miss People's Express!

About 10 years ago I got a return flight from London to Chicago for £130.

It's a pity all the prices have risen now...it always seems so expensive to get from here to the USA now otherwise I would visit more often!!

Those were the days! My friend and I flew from Orange County to San Francisco for $39.95! Southwest was so loose then...they didn't even collect our beers during landing!

On RyanAir I have flown for £0.01 plus taxes.

Krakow-Paris for about 30 euros plus tax. In August. Great deal.

I'm flying Seattle, WA -> Washington DC for $250 Round Trip in May.

Hong Kong to London, total fare £130, leaves tomorrow night but I had to come home early so had to cancel with a £90 penalty

i had a few years back a return from London to Atlanta for £180 which i was impressed with - otherwise have flown countless times with Ryanair and easyjet for a few pounds

United has SFO-LAX for $45

I haven't gotten any super super low ones, but I did Portland to NYC for $212 including taxes, and Portland to cologne, germany for $420 including taxes, I think those were the best. Oh and then TWA's student travel vouchers, $550 four one ways in America, including the virgin islands, wonderful.

$270 (incl taxes) Houston to London, Round trip. It was 2001 and a 1 week fare sale through STA.

Unfortunately, per the airline's usual advertising tactics, the fare is $45 each way plus taxes and fees. Comes to about $150 all in.
