Fly American from London to El Cajon

Oh how glorious it is to take a trip across the pond, from the land of tea and royalty to the sparkling jewel that is...El Cajon, England! It's not a destination that screams 'holiday of a lifetime', but who are we kidding, at least they speak English.

Let's say you're a brave soul planning on a jaunt courtesy of our good friends at American Airlines. You've settled on the fact that you're not going for the glitz and glamour of London or the bustling charm of Liverpool. El Cajon, England awaits, and this is how you make the most of your airfare.

American Airlines offers daily connecting flights from London, but let's be realistic, a non-stop flight would likely never be an option - demand simply wouldn't justify it. Ah, the thrill of multiple take offs and landings in one trip! It's what makes air travel so riveting, isn't it?

Good news, though. American Airlines gives you ample scope for choosing your seats and classes. It truly caters to all tax brackets. For the affluent frequent flyer, there's always the prestige of First-Class. After all, nothing screams "I've made it" like sipping flat champagne at 38,000 feet while stretched out on a semi-comfortable streaming-capable seat. Then there's premium economy, a middle ground for those hedging their bets between value and comfort, and finally the humble economy class, where space is a luxury and the concept of personal bubble doesn't exist.

Riding economy isn't all doom and gloom. Let's not forget the delightful in-flight services, which includes recycled movies and cold sandwiches (if you're lucky). Sure, it's not a Michelin star dinner, but hey, who doesn't love a good soggy sandwich? But oh, if you are in the business class, you might even land yourself a semi-decent meal followed by a digestif, a meaningless consolation to the hefty amount you shelled out for airfare.

Now let's talk baggage allowance - the cherry on top of your aviation adventure. Sorting out what to carry, trying to cram your life into a suitcase sized box. Remember to check the weight limits, because there's no more satisfying a frugal traveler than one who gets stuck at the airport check-in counter to repack their bags in front of an audience of disgruntled passengers. They should sell tickets for that show!

Be sure to pay mind to their flight cancellation policy too, because we all know how much we adore customer service calls. What's more thrilling than an unexpected reunion with their delightful hold music?

Historically, the next best time to book is...well, never, but we have to take what we get in a post-pandemic world. Here's an insider tip - shift around your scheduled dates a bit, you never know when you’ll stumble upon last-minute flights and some amazing flight deals. You could even set up a few browser alerts and live in a perpetual state of anxiety as your phone notifies you every three minutes about 'best price alerts'. Now isn’t that just spectacular?

So, pop open that laptop and lock down your international flights with American Airlines. Embrace your inner adventurer and dare to dream of El Cajon, England! Because there's no place quite like home, especially if home is an unassuming market town in the middle of nowhere.
