Just want to say thanks to Roses (have clicked your thanks button!) for a great spot and letting us all know in time to book! Have booked me and my best mate (and respective menfolk) for an early christmas shopping trip to the Big Apple!! Not strictly moneysaving I know but we're ecstatic!

Thanks again

I AM SOOOOOOOOO GUTTED!
I was just about to book flights to NY for a present and i literally went to get my card and by the time i got back, the prices had gone up to 125 each way!

Good for those of you who managed to book ... have a great time!

I've just closed my web browser and tried again from the link and can still see prices at £75 for Sept 6th onwards.

methinks that Martin should expose this rip off and put a stop to companies like BA ripping us off !

Its a well known thing, you are always going to pay more for "convenience"... and i cant see how any amount of complaining is going to change that.... all airlines do it! Fact is, people need to travel, and there are people out there who *will* pay the price... even if some wont! Same could be said for local convenience shops who charge more, campared to larger supermarkets which are futher away.

You will always pay more for going though a large airlines main base.

Personally, i've always viewed the Underground and mainline train services as more of a rip-off rather than airlines, as there is not enough competition to be had on prices. Prices are pretty much fixed and controlled. The airline industry by comparison is not a monopoly.

If you want to avoid the premium price, book a short-haul flight to another airport in europe, and then travel to Orlando from there! There are many people who do that.... some of course, cant be bothered with the inconvenience.... Unless you are booking First class or business class tickets, you probably only stand to save mostly on long-haul UK airport tax (which has nothing to do with the airlines at all!)
