Flights to USA query

V-S-210

Hi guys,
I'm hoping you can assist me... My cousin is getting married in Virgina but on the way back we want to stop of in NY for a few days before coming back to London but we're having difficulties booking flights online which allows us to do the following:

1) 1st Nov: Fly out from Heathrow to CRW
2) 3rd Nov: Fly to JFK from CRW and spend a few days in NY before returning to Heathrow from JFK.

Online booking only gives us options to book return flights from either JFK or CRW. One way we can do is book return flights from JFK and book the flights from JFK to CRW [FONT=&quot]separately but it's proving tedious and expensive!

We know there are no direct flights to CRW and have to change at JFK and we are fine with that, it's just the returning and staying in NY which we need a hand with!!!

If that doesn't make sense I'll try writing it again with diagrams!
TIA!

It appears AA are the only airline that fly CRW-New York La Guardia LGA.

One option is LHR-CRW and EWR-LHR on Continental or United, with CRW-LGA on AA.

or LHR-CRW and JFK-LHR on Delta, with CRW-LGA on AA.

I might make more sense to book with BA and do the TATL with BA, then the domestic with AA. Keeps the entire journey with on group, and would allow you to get a single PNR (which is helpful if you miss a connection due to a delay).

The only issue is you'd need to transfer from one NY airport to another, but that really isn't too tricky as there are frequent bus transfers (or a cheap taxi).

To achieve what you want online is difficult, however a telephone agent can ticket the journey you want with a stop over in NYC - call BA or AA directly. Make sure they don't charge you a telephone booking fee as what you want can't be done online.

I did a dummy booking on your dates for £500.

you might be able to book that on the American airlines website on the multi city option?
