BA to NYC
Righty-ho! Cutting a long story short, one of my and the other half's friends (who clocks up mega frequent traveller points through work) has very kindly offered to use their air miles to pay for flights to NYC for the both of us, by way of a wedding present. Very generous I know.
The flights would be from Edinburgh with BA, and we are likely to be going mid to late Feb next year. My question is this. What would be the prefered route and aircraft type with BA? Having had a quick trawl through their booking system, it appears we can depart via either LHR or MAN, obviously into Newark or JFK. BA seem to fly mostly 744s into JFK and 777s into Newark.
Does anyone have any views on prefered aircraft type and/or route? To make the most of a long weekend over there, we would like to take a fairly early flight out on a Friday (shuttle willing) and a late-ish one back on the following Tuesday.
Oh, and the other half is nearly 6'7", so any advice on legroom would be very much welcome too!
Tah very much...
