Flight Deals To USA At Easter????

Anbody know if the major airlines usually do deals to the US released around Easter?
Looking to go New York for the weekend May 21st for around £300.
When the Xmas deals came out, was reading through the terms and conditions and you could only fly up till around April time.
Im thinking they might do deals again around Easter when they know were all sitting on the sofa stuffing our faces with chocolate eggs, feeling sorry for ourselves and to try and tempt you to early summer holiday!!!
Anybody remember in the past few years the pattern that the deals usually come out?
Once grabbed return to Oz, November time with Singapore Airlines for £380.....SO I LOVE A BARGIN IF I CAN GET IT!!!

Thanks

    I'm looking for a naked mudbath with Julia Ormond, and I think that I've got more chance of getting one, than you have of getting a £300 flight to NYC (assuming that you're hoping to fly from Britain):p

    So far haven't heard anything about sales. Would be surprised if they put sale on bearing in mind how many bank holidays will we have in 2 weeks around Easter..
    Cheapest I can see is leaving LGW 27 Apr via Iceland with Iceland Express for £337 back on 2 May..
    Best wins ever:
    2012: Holiday to LA for 2 adults +2 kids for 4 days
    2013: £2 000 Virgin Holiday Voucher!
    2014: $1000 spending money for hols
    2015: 8 night holiday to Thailand

    They were ?!!??!?!?!? When I was looking they were quite a bit more than that.

    Good luck with your hunt Sickle, but I reckon that you'll be needing quite a bit more £££ than £300 to get to NY.

    Nah, I don't need her #, she's got ME on her speedial :D:p;)

    p.s. maybe drop this guy a PM, he's talking £285-£300 to NYC.
    p.p.s I've got £367 for out on the 21st, back on the 23rd - any good ?

    Oh yeah see his post and have to do a bit of research. Ive seen those prices that are around at the minute, just ponding about waiting to see if these deals pop up in the next couple of months.
    Im sure its everyones nightmare when booking somthing and nearer the time finding out it could of been cheaper!!

  • Check skyscanner.net for the cheapest flights. May also find flights through icelandexpress.com. They had some very cheap flights when I was looking to go to Boston.

    are you still on the thread Sickle ? Julia has been on the phone to me tonight and she tells me that the mud supplier is looking for advance notice for the quanity and quality of mud that we both need :p:D.

    But before she orders it, she has found a variety of flights from LHR to New York out on the 21st, back on the 25th for £352 (but still not £300;))

    Hello Sickle

    Julia has been on the phone to me and she is furious. She ordered the mud and is waiting for me to turn up and I had to tell her that I was still at work, awaiting an update from yourself regarding your £300 to New York quest.

    She's given me an ultimatum ---either I get over their ASAP and give her some one-on-one training for the naked baby oil wrestling contest that she has entered, or she's going to drop me for Brad Pitt.

    Come on Sickle, its up to you, how is your search going ?

    Lol perhaps Sickle took advantage of the £278 return fare which was on offer with Iceland Express until Wednesday just gone?
    I couldn't make use of the offer as the dates didn't suit (it was valid for travel between 25/4 and 30/5). I was very surprised to see the fare go quite that low though.
