Manchester-New York May 24th ish for a week...HELP NEEDED.

Hi there. I really need some help, I have searched but Im just getting really confused (a sick 4 month old is also making things difficult to dedicate myself totally to this mission).

I need a return ticket for 2 adults and 1 infant under 2, Manchester to New York, from the 24th May (can be 24th, 25th, 26th, 27th or 28th leaving) and its for a week. Cheapest option possible, without spending 15 hours travelling though, the less time we spend getting there the better =)

Also, I could do with some GOOD recommendations on cheap but cheerful hotels, and good places to eat. It will be my partners 30th while we're there hopefully, so I would love to book us a really good meal somewhere!

We also vowed the next time we go to New York, that we would get married......don't really know how doable this would be though.

Any help you could give me would be HUGELY appreciated.

Thanks.

    Can reccomend the Delta flight out of Manchester, excellent service.
    Just don't forget to run when you get off the plane, so you're not at the back of that immigration queue!

  • I booked...arghhh, right, need to get my !!!! in gear, anyone got any good tips on travelling with a 6 month old?? Its going to be a new one for us =)

    Also, thinking about booking with these http://www.montmorris.com/ anyone heard anything about them? She has quoted me £767 for 7 nights, [FONT=Verdana, Arial]Studio apartment. This mini apartment (40m²), seems pretty reasonable, don't know much about the area though?
