Should I book or not

L2T2017

I have just found some flights that I am thinking of booking and wanted some of you seasoned travellers thoughts on whether they are worth booking or should I wait.
They are for the summer school holidays time from London to NYC and cost £376. Trouble is that there are two stops,each with 1hr 20min short layovers and a short layover returning .
Many thanks:j

Where are the stop overs? Keflavik by chance? If so it is a small airport and the connections are very doable. If looking at WOW or Icelandair make sure you factor in the extra costs.

At £376 I think that's very reasonable. If however with WOW you need to factor in their rather high checked baggage charges, plus an allowance for food/drinks which are not cheap on board.

What does the £376 include and what does it compare to agaist the best direct fare you have found?

Have you looked at Norwegian LGW JFK?

Only you can decide if it's worth the hassle (presumably you're taking children, how are they going to cope with that?). What's the total flight time? That's usually the deciding factor for me.

Also 1hr 20 doesn't give you much time to connect in the event of delays, are there later flights you can be transferred to if you miss one? You don't want to get delayed and told the next flight is the following day.

Don't book through a dodgy agent.

I am happy with the times and the stopovers if doable . I will be traveling with my teenage daughters .

So you are looking to route LON/CDG/BOS/NYC? That sounds like a long journey.

What is the connect time on the outbound at BOS? I think I would want more than 1h20m to clear US immigration and connecting onwards. Whilst I have cleared BOS in 20 minute I have also arrived when three other international flights have touched down together and taken 90 minutes to get through immigration. If you miss connect at BOS whilst the airline will try to accommodate you on the next available flight with seats, it could be the following day. That cheap flight might not be so cheap when you then have to pay for a hotel at the airport.

No.

The time is too short for connecting.

CDG is a connection nightmare.

Look at possibilities with longer connections, is there a possibility to fly to CDG the night before?
