I don't know if it still happens, but when my aunt and I spent the weekend in London about 7 years ago, we stayed very cheaply at the Hilton.

Back then, the hotel had special cut-rate deals on the go all the time, through various travel agents. IIRC (and the memory is hazy) the particular deal we got was part of a combined package offered by Easyjet, which included the plane tickets.

Whether that's still true of course...

Aramis: Yes, sorry.
Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.
