Leeds Bradford to Newark (New York) £199 return inc taxes!

Three nights from next Thursday (13th). I've heard the price has dropped twice as loads on this route are proving lighter than expected.

  • Not surprised the loads were light as they were trying to sell these at prices considerably higher than the main US carriers from Manchester. Not sure that folks would stump up the extra (on a low cost carrier as well) just to fly from Leeds Bradford.

    Now at £199 on the other hand....bargain!

    The main downside to this flight is thats its 3 nights or nothing. Until they introduce a bit of flexibility it will alway struggle ...especially now that fewer people will want to do their Christmas shopping in the states. Weird that they let you book a 1-way ticket to the US but not the US-UK. £106 for a 1 way ticket to New York, fly home with a different carrier at a time that suits better and Jet2 fly home a half empty plane

    Whatever the issues it is still a bargain and at those prices I cant believe that people havent taken up the deal! If I had holidays left I would be on it
