No, they don't. Best deal so far is BOS-GVA on either Continental or Swiss (they would prefer BOS).

Thought they might have been visiting London or something too.

We found ebookers and expedia good for transatlantic flights. Also tried Opodo (not so good).

Ah, well that explains it! They may have to go BOS - JFK or EWR - GVA or BOS - Zurich - GVA. I didn't find any non-stop BOS - GVA. Given the choice I would go BOS - Zurich and take one of those super smart trains because on their return to the US, they will have to pick up bags at first point of entry into US. If the stop is JFK or EWR, that's where they clear immigration & customs, then reload bags for connecting domestic flight, which is a pain. This applies even if it's the same plane - all passengers must get off with bags. Also, any duty free puchases of liquid - booze, perfume etc. - would have to be repacked from hand luggage into the suitcase at the US port of entry before they recheck their bags, otherwise they go in the trash.

Hey, are we a travel agent's forum now ????!!!!

Another site we use a lot for finding flights that hasn't been mentioned is Travelsupermarket (http://www.travelsupermarket.com/travel ... ?package=4). It includes all the taxes in the quoted price which is handy. Downside is it only compares flights departing from the UK so if your trying to find a one way flight back to britain its no good. HTH
