V-Flyer

Hi Guys,

I haven't bought a flight to New York for quite a few years but am going there for a week at the end of August. I have found VA flights for £417 return and think its a great price. Is this a good price for this route, or might it drop lower in a sale?

Thank you in advance for your wisdom.

Hi and welcome. The accepted wisdom is if you think it's a great price take it and don't look back.

... And don't make the mistake of reviewing the prices a few weeks after you have booked... Just in case

The Fare Watch tool on V-Flyer now allows you to see how a fare you're looking at compares with the cheapest flight for that route at any time of year, and the cheapest fare that was recorded for that day. For the New York route, it looks like it doesn't get any cheaper than £417 in August, and at their best the New York routes have been £398 this year - so £417 is probably the best you're going to see.

...especially given the % of that price which is fixed fuel surcharges, fees and taxes. The "fare" element of it will be so small that even a big "sale" won't make too much of a difference. I say buy.
