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 !
|
Zed3 - Nah don't buy it flew last summer same'ish time for under £300.
Maybe was just lucky then! Come to think of it flew to Boston as well in September for much less than £300. |
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. |
If you're willing to fly via a mainland European hub, you might find good deals with LH, AF, IB etc. I haven't checked though.
|
candoo.....never flown them but it's orange juice out and back . No alcohol allowed .
|
Can you take your own bottle of, um, "water" with you, and use it to, um, "dilute" the orange juice? Seems to work on other similar carriers.
|
Have you tried Air India?
I flew with them in October for £1000 business class and would highly recommend them. I even got a cockpit visit en route (!) |
DtA
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. |
Candoo
Haven't flown with Kuwait, but friends who have say its fine. DtA I agree about AI, have used them to JFK in J and its great so long as you don't want PTV or a full entertainment experience (I don't.) Great curries too ;) |
Final 3 Greens
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. Candoo 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!) |
Got confirmation of Kuwaiti flight but they ask if I have any Israeli stamps in my passport - erm yes I do!
What happens now should I trash this passport and get a new one or what? |
