Help - USA East Coast July
Having a nightmare trying to find a fare to BOS, EWR or JFK below £500. Travelling Mid-July and need to be there for w.c. 18th July but am flexible about arrival and departure (2 or 3 days either way)
Tried all the usual web suspects but having no joy.
Any ideas, also why is it suddenly sooo expensive?
Cheers for any help.

It's a strange thing called the summer holiday season , attacks every year between June and early September causing ticket prices to steeply rise because people want to buy them . Strange but still no cure after years of research !

Try travelocity.co.uk and enter LON to NYC (giving you all airports in both dests.)
Swiss had the lowest fare but wouldn't confirm the test dates I tried.
Ba.com won't go lower than 554 ex LHR or MAN to BOS or JFK
Aer Lingus (aerlingus.com) quotes LHR-SNN-BOS-SNN-LHR out 16.7 back 23.7 for 500.85 stg. (and Shannon has US immigration preclearance) - you could try looking for LHR-JFK too but you might have to move back/forward days to get the best fare.
[edited - had a look at JFK, out 14th back 26th 450GBP]

Have, at last, found a good deal out on the 14th to JFK back on the 21st. All in for £278.00.
Flying with Kuwaiti Airways - anyone had any experience with this carrier?
Comments, as always, appreciated.

Was my first port of call on a recommendation, however website never seems to work and I couldn't be doing with a trip down Southall!
Still have booked with the Kuwaiti guys so will report after the event.

I think they now have personal DVD players with a raft of recent movies.
Personally I didn't bother as the flight was fairly short and I spent most of it talking to (and drinking with) the chap sat next to me.

Try Expedia, Travelocity and Opodo and see if AI comes up - if not I would just call them rather than using their website (It didn't work for me either!)
