Cheap Flights to America

[Off The Fence]

Lads and Lasses,

Major problem I need help with.  Aer Lingus are doing a great deal at the minute to fly to the States.  Was planning to head over Christmas (return for 420 Euro).  Now the boss has thrown a spanner in the works and said I cant go on my selected dates, which basically fooks the whole thing up.  Other dates would be too expensive and have tried BA and US Airways, too pricey.  Can anyone reccomend any good decent preiced airlines or help me out in any way here?  Any Help would be greatly appreciated!

Continental and Delta fly to the NYC area as well from Ireland. US Airways go to Philadelphia. If you want to go via London or Manchester there should be plenty more options, especially as there should be quite a few who stop at Heathrow. Expedia always works pretty well for me when I'm seeking out deals.

Was looking at American Airlines the other day and they where coming in at about 420-450, connecting flight from Dublin to Gatwick included in that price.

It's actually 720 euro they are quoting. Is the price of the dollar going to keep dropping?

Seems so.

I got a pretty good deal a few years back on KLM, although that of course means a connection in Amsterdam. If a few extra hours travelling is worth the cash saving, it might be worth your while checking some of the big continental hubs. I think it was about an hour or bit more to Amsterdam and then the same added to the transatlantic flight. Not sure what the extra time to Frankfurt would be - I would assume you'd add two hours flying time to each flight.
