advice on best place to book a trip to new york

Hi, i am hoping someone will help me cos I spent the last hour looking into taking me and my son (12) to New York for a weekend and the cheapest I could find from belfast is £1500:eek:

Is there anywhere that you could recommend me to look? dates are not a problem as long as it is at the weekend of this year
I am determined to lose weight!:kisses3:
Weight loss so far 2 stones 6lbs!! :j:j

    When are you wanting to go?

    Dec is v expensive. I priced for 4 nights this Dec and it was over 1400 for the 2 of us, tried loads of different sites, hotels, airports etc.

    Also try terra travel Lurgan and American hols in Belfast. then you can compare what you get on the net booking separately.

    Hotel in NYC are not the cheapest, you can get cheaper if you go for a hotel with shared bathroom facilities but a lot of people dont like that. Takes a bit of shopping around on the net.

    Let us know your dates and budget.

  • Hi Irishgirl we went to New York in Arpil and booked throght http://www.thriftway.co.uk Lisburn Road, they were really good.

    We got a great deal on flights: £220 per person and we stayed in the Cosmopolitan Hotelhttp://www.cosmohotel.com/ it was very good value, clean and central too. It is near Wall Street but still convenient value; n right beside subway and in a good area. I would say its a 3 star but i def recommend it!

    Also check out tripadvisor.com


    Hope that helps you.
