Manchester > Miami > NYC > Manchester Flight

Been having a look about at a multi-stop flight to do this next year and the cheapest I've got so far is with Opodo at £448 each.

The dates were Sat 26th Sept > Wed 30th > Tues 6th Oct. I did have a look at American Airlines but that was coming out much more expensive.

I also had a look at single flights but that works out much more.

Any other suggestions? Some flexibility with the dates...
2p off is still 2p off!

    Using Kayak I got:

    £435 with Continental for your route.

    Other ways:
    Open Jaw with Continental £390

    MAN-MIA NYC-MAN

    Jet blue fly from FLL to EWR Cheapest fare could be $100, so no saving there:confused: unless they have sale fares nearer to Sept 09.

    Greyhound\China bus\MegaBus may go from Miami to NYC, haven't checked
  • Cheers, blindman, after using quidco and a cashback card Opodo would work out cheaper then Kayak.

    What exactly is Kayak? And how does the Open Jaw work?

    I did look at singles to MIA and out from NYC but no real saving that way

  • Just had a quick Google and found some info on open jaw

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-jaw_ticket

    Now I understand!

    I've added the link to Kayak too. Missed it last post :rolleyes:
  • I'm getting £406 for the dates suggested.

    Air france to MIA, (codeshare Delta via atlanta)
    Delta MIA to JFK
    Air france JFK to MAN, (only problem is via Paris, might be worth trying to manipulate the air france website because they could put you on a direct JFK to MAN flight, again codeshare with Delta)

    Either that or just try delta.

    Might also be worth trying delta or conti MAN-NYC return. Then get a jetblue or other lowcost US carrier for the inbetween bits.
  • I got £435 via Delta but much better flight times then anyone else and direct coming back.

    How did you get the £406?

    Just looking at MAN to NYC is looking at about £360, what would a return flight from new york to miami roughly cost?

    How ddi you get the £406?

    Just be aware that flight schedules this far out are never fixed in stone.

    Do not be surprised if the 'perfect' flight times and connections are altered or even cancelled nearer to Sept.
  • If you want to just search for the in between bits, i like momondo.com.
