    Basically my fiancee and I are looking to go to New York next Summer, but the prices seem to have been hiked up since the last time I was there (2 years ago when a return cost £250). This is the best I've found so far; we're not fixed to an airport (open to any depending on price), nor are we bothered about hotel (just that it has a good reputation) or dates (ideally we'd love to be away for the 6th June, but again price is more important)
