    It was all over the news yesterday that Flyglobespan are cutting lots of their flights due to lack of interest so that may be why you can't find other flights
  • We have rented apartments on each occasion we have visited NYC; they are by far the cheapest and most advantageous option. We usually rent places on W48th St, only 2 blocks from Times Square - ideal!

    We book through www.nyhabitat.com who are really helpful - they have lots of really great apartments, but book early.

    We visited NYC in July and rented 2 apartments (on 43rd and 48th). Two of us flew economy with Virgin Atlantic (£606 each!) out of Heathrow and three flew premium economy with Myglobespan (£323 each) out of Liverpool, the latter experiencing so many problems (delays etc) that they have vowed never to fly with them again.

    I'm off to NYC in 10 days and booked a place in The East Village through nyhabitat.com

    Glad to hear someone else has used it :)
