New York in a week!

Hi all,

we're planning on going to new york on the 16th of jan and so far we have nothing booked.

We have found quite a good deal on Expedia 4 start hotel with flights included but the price keeps fluctuating.

£607 PP yesterday morning , £621 Yesterday Evening and £705 pp today. These are direct flights. and staying for 7 days.

My question is basically should we hold on and hope the prices come down or bite and pay the extra which we should have booked previously.

We have tried a few other travel agents but not had any better deals , if anybody has and ideas id really appreciate them as we are getting quite worried now.

    Book it via Quidco, (or other cash back site), sit back and enjoy.

    How much is a flight on it's own? Because air bnb is a great site to find a whole apartment for a good price and would save you staying in a hotel.

    dunno but it would be amazing if i was right though.

    the point im trying to make, which appears lost in translation, is no one knows, if it keeps going up its unlikely to suddenly go down

    What you like...
  • Unfortunately, unless AirBnB is mostly illegal in New York, except for in certain limited circumstances. Any rental of an apartment in a building with many apartments in it (more than two I think), for less than 30 days is illegal.
