Very cheap flights to Eastern US destinations via United & American Airlines. They all connect through San Francisco or Los Angeles where you can organise a free stopover. Fares include bags & meals. Seems like the cheapest sellers are via Mytrip or Skiddoo. Loads of dates from now until June excluding the Christmas season. Use Google Flights to find the cheapest dates then plug them into Momondo, Skyscanner, etc.
