New York Bargain Flights in April 2011

Hi Everyone,

I was hoping to find out if anyone had come across any amazing deals on flights to New York during the April bank holiday period?

I have booked off the 26th, 27th and 28th of April to get the 11 day break so hoping to go for 5 nights at some point over this break.

Really hoping to find a bargain :) so any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi there,

    exactly what constitutes a bargain?

    some people might think that £600.00 for that time of year a bargain, others might think £300.00 is a bargain.

    26/04 dep london 1600 arrive Newark 1840
    01/05 dep newark 0800 arrive london 2000
    Virgin flights - £390.00 per person incl taxes.

    26/04 dep london 1005 arr JFK 1310
    01/05 dep JFK 1825 arr london 0705 (02/05)
    Delta / KLM £410.00 per person.

    Regards

    Hi HXDave,

    Really pleased with them - thank you so much. I just hope they are still avaliable when I get paid on the 28th...
  • If you want a pointer, go for the Virgin flights. ;)

    ebookers.com have direct return flights on the same dates for £372 each. They are "KLM" flights although it is a codeshare, the flight is actually a Delta one.

    If you want some advice, I'm not sure if these sorts of prices will be available by the end of the month. Early January is traditionally a big sale time for airlines. I searched using Kayak.co.uk and fares were changing as I was searching. Ebookers reckon only 3 seats left at that price.
