Flight to Boston advice please

  • I agree that a flight with a stopover would be a hassle on the LON-BOS route.

    Typically (the past few years) have seen flights in January for that route around the £200 mark. Obviously, past guide is not a real good way to predict future airfares but it's a start and it would tempt me to hang on for a sale to come along to beat a £300 fare.

    Bear in mind, just after New Year is a very cheap time to travel to that part of the US so there should be some good deals cropping up if you keep a look out.

    Iceland Air with a stopover in Rekyavik use to be really cheap Business Class to Boston. See the sights of Iceland while youre there.

  • The New York to Boston drive is easy enough (it took me 3.5 hours and once out of NYC area wasn't busy) so if the £160 flights are available and you were planning to hire a car anyway it wouldn't be too bad a plan!

    But how much would it cost to hire a car? Because I'm not planning on it anyway. It may work out cheaper than the £297 to fly direct with AA but not cheap enough for the extra hassle. It also adds quite a bit of time onto the journey. This time I'm prepared to spend more for convience and fly direct from Heathrow to Boston, I just want the best price possible for that particular journey.
    Thanks though.
