Flights £769 + hotel £182, taxes in · a checked bag each adds about £181

Frontier · with a stop · 11h 8m

The catch: Frontier stops once and the 7:00 AM flight takes 11h 8m, the $242 hotel is dorm beds, and a checked bag is about $240 for two.

Worth it if you travel light and don't mind dorm beds for sun; skip it if you need a nonstop or a private room on a budget.
