You managed to get tickets then? I've been keeping an eye out for the show the week after.

I got one yes. Not 100% ideal, as it is the day I land, but at least I have a ticket. If I see something like the 8th March, that will be better, but hey, at least I get to see one tv show being filmed while on holiday.

i'm looking to stay in ny on our way to vegas in november and our travel agent is suggesting the hotel new yorker for a few days has anyone stayed there or recommend another. thanks

New Yorkers a good enough choice to stay easy to recommend as a average place in ok location for reasonable price. Check a few pages back theres always good posts about the new yorker good and ok (never really bad)Its a iconic new york landmark and art deco is a passion of mine . Inside is average and rooms mix from small to acceptable.Suppose it depends on expectations from you as the customer. But on the whole the new yorkers ok . Enjoy NYC

it's not bad.. it's not great.... however, you say travel agent.. you might get a better deal if you plan things using peoples help from this thread, and also the one above/below that is the vegas thread... I'm not a huge fan of travel agents.

Planning mine and my boyfriends first trip to NYC, sun 17th apr - sun 24th apr (these are the only dates we can do as he has to be back at work on the Tuesday).
Have provisionally booked The Roosevelt with their facebook 20% off code (although it only seems to have taken 10% off...!) but I'm not sure how to go about booking the flights. Can't see any deals for that week yet, what's a reasonable price to aim for per person? We'd fly from Manchester, but if anyone thinks we should go for Virgin/BA we could do Heathrow. All ideas/thoughts welcome! Thanks.

lauh88 - you will probably get prices from Heathrow, but then the problems are how much it costs to get down there, and if you have an AM flight factoring in the cost of the hotel the night before.

There are 2 or 3 airlines that fly direct from MAN, so you should look for flights from Delta or American to JFK, or Continental to EWR. I personally wouldn't consider the Continental flights, as EWR isn't as convenient for public transport as JFK is, especially as close to Grand Central you are.

The other alternative from MAN is to fly with KLM / Delta across to AMS and then head into JFK. I've got that as my option (thanks to delta cancelling a midweek flight), so will find out how good it is in the next few weeks.

I'm planning a trip with my wife (she will be my wife by then!) in October. Was hoping to fly from Aberdeen. Best price I have had so far is for £850 staying at the metro for 5 nights. I've never been before so unsure if this is a good price or not. It will be for our honeymoon, do any companies do special honeymoon offers? And is the metro an ok hotel to spend 5 nights for location etc
We would also consider flying from any Scotland, but prices were about the same from Aberdeen when I checked

as flights are at least £400 each at that time of year, getting 2 flights, and 5 nights hotel for £850 is an absolute bargain, so I don't know what you're unsure of?

I've paid more than that for 4 nights in March, and phatbear has been quoting over £1200 for his trip in August for 2 people,

The only thing I can think of is that it's a mis price because it seems TOO cheap.

Sorry should have said - £850 per person so £1700 total price!!
