£160 (inc taxes!) LGW-JFK

mezza_3

I second Ken's tactic - for the extra £11 with ebookers, more dates are available and journey times are almost halved! I got March 20th-27th. Journey times - 8hrs 10mins there, 7hrs 20 back.

Thanks to the OP and Ken!!!

Having become frustrated with the Delta website offering only indirect (some multi-change) flights with higher prices and the other problems of "just sold out" etc., I tried through some of the Internet agents and have booked direct flights (Delta LGW>JFK) for March with ebookers @ £171.

I want to go across to the West Coast (LA/San Diego) while in the US. Any advice on internal flights from NY?

i believe they fly from JFK to Long Beach https://www.jetblue.com

Comfy seats and seat-back TV's with 36 channels

Cheers Ken. I was able to find the flights with Delta when I tried this morning. However, having checked with the other half that she could do the dates, it wouldn't play ball, giving me multi-hop flights with 17hr stop overs in Atlanta! I tried ebookers and they cost me an extra £16 in total, so no big loss, when I take my quidco discount and nectar points!

This then returns the cheap flights.

This is where the deal is. Normally I wouldn't put a specific deal so high up in the e-mail. Yet this is so cheap, for many people even with a connecting flight or train journey it is likely to undercut the cost of travelling from an airport more local to you.
