    Hello, shouting out for some help here. 
    I need to fly out to the USA - New York anytime after the 22 nd August and can return any time after the 12 th September. 
    Preferably flying from London/Bristol/Birmingham although would consider Manchester as last resort.
    I have been searching on 6/7 flight search websites for the last few days and cannot seem to get my head around it. It’s all so too much. 😨
    I would prefer a shorter/direct flight outwards although I don’t mind a longer flight return to UK.
    A checked baggage is essential although a cabin bag is not necessary if it keeps the fares low. 
    I hope fellow members do not mind my post.
    THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE. 👍



    Forget about £400 if you want to put luggage in the hold. Don't waste your time searching. Under £400 without checked in luggage is achievable. But add £50 to your budget and it can be done. £447 from the 29th of August to the 21st of September includes 10kg of hand luggage and 23kg of checked in luggage. Direct flights from Gatwick to JFK booked via the airline. Don't dally. I got out of bed to find a flight for you.

    Thank you so much @Bonhomie

    I am sorry I have not been able to log onto the forum since last night. After my frustration, I had managed to book tickets for the 28 th Aug to 19 th Sept with all baggage for £461 which is near enough your find.
    I highly appreciate your kind help. 
    It’s been a long time that I have posted on the MSE forum hence still getting used to the app. 
    Thank you once again.

    You are somewhat short on your budget unfortunately.

    With a checked bag you are looking at £560+ with a stopover and £650+ direct

    www.momondo.co.uk is a good site to use to try to find flights. You should then look at booking them direct with the airline.

    Hello

    Thank you for the recommendation.
    I had been searching via momondo and it made me go mad. 🤪
    Fortunately I had got the fare within £500. 
    I am not too fussed about the comfort and amenities of the airfcraft just so long as it gets me safely to the destination without any problems or issues. 
    Thank you for your kind help. Highly appreciated.

    Norse Atlantic are a low cost option from Gatwick. Their website is quite used friendly and shows the days with the cheapest fares. However even with them I think you'll struggle for £400
    Hello yes thank you that is the website I used and yes £400 was not a possibility with the given dates.
    Thank you for all your help.

    Nice that the OP returned to give feedback. Most just disappear without a trace, until the next time they need something.
