Looking for reasonable price flights to America suggestions please
Hi
I'm hoping to go to Philadelphia in just over a months time to see friends but flights still seem to be about £400 on lastminute.com :( Any ideas of who else I can have a look at please? Thanks :) |
Oops didn't see Philly
|
£400's not a bad price. That's my limit including tax.
|
£400 is what they were when I started looking back in Feb :( I'd have expected them to be nearer £250 with only a month to go :cry: There's no way I'm paying £400 each just for a flight.
|
The price of flights goes up closer to departure time, the rule is the earlier you book the cheaper it will be. Unless you are prepared to buy your tickets only couple of days in advance that's how it goes.
As for other sites, just do a search, besides the usual suspects (Expedia, Opodo etc etc), there's lots of others out there. |
BA.com have flights for around £150 each way
|
But then you have to pay tax on top of that and that bumps the price right up :cry: I can get a whole holiday elsewhere for half of that price :cry: Don't the Americans want holiday makers?
|
I had the same problem a few months ago and unfortunatly whichever way you slice it, it still comes out to around £400 for most decent carriers.
|
Doesn't look like we'll be going then :cry: I can't justify spending that on flights :(

Have you not thought of a flight to NY and then you can do a search on internal flights which i have always found to be very cheap with the likes of AA etc |
What dates are you looking for? Your not looking to go over the bank holiday weekend by any chance?

Fly to Newark & hire a car as its quite an easy drive to Philladelphia
Air France had some deals on for New York however you have to fly to CDG first. We are flying to Newark in Aug for just over £300 each but we booked up a few months ago. Had a look on airlinenetwork and they have New York on air france from LHR for £296 although you might need to mess about with your dates, they also have Philadephia for £320 but availabilty didn't look good.
