BUT it may be worth waiting for the BA September sale.

You wont get it cheaper - the taxes and fuel surcharges alone are about that price!

I have flown to the US several times for less than £200.

The travel dates are too narrow! The only person I could go with keeps saying they've done NYC and would find it boring going again. Sigh:rolleyes:

Can anyone ever say that they have completely done New York?

Doesn't that fly in the face of the advice offered in your signature

Current taxes and charges on BA London - New York are £203.60 so matthew's comments aren't too far off the mark.

Although there are occasionally glitches (a la Delta dropping the Fuel Surcharges by mistake), or people having flown by Laker for £50 in 1977, if you wanted to go to New York and were offered a fare for £216, and were happy flying with Kuwait Airlines, and there was availability on those dates, I would hope (?) the consensus would be 'book it up'. The reality is that there are fewer sub £250 flights to New York than their have been, and anything less, is generally an excellent fare.

I'd even go as far as saying that for BA / Virgin £270-£300 is a 'good' fare! I wouldn't try and raise hopes that most people can get flights cheaper, as I suspect they won't, but am interested to hear if I am wrong!

BA and Virgin seem to be cutting capacity on NYC this winter. With this in mind I'd say if you can get either for £270 you've got a bargain. Mind you there are plenty of other carriers of equal stature these days.

Had a quick look at e-bookers from London for the above dates- are £209 on Air France (operated by Delta) non stop - it appears to be a glitch that has dumped the fuel surcharge, so well worth looking at - £209 inc tax shouldn't be sniffed at, especially direct!
