V-Flyer

Just started to look at what it could cost me next November to fly to Boston.
Using this years dates (26 Nov, to 10 Dec) the V tool shows 7Z's on both routes. When checking the VA web site, it comes up with UC lowest at £1,830
Is this good?

New york also coming out at the same price.....

I usually finid JFK/EWR/BOS & IAD are often very similar in price for UC. Last year I paid a very similar fare to what you have been quoted.

Have you tried fares from AMS [?]

Fares for those dates (cheapest of each fare bucket shown), to BOS below, Alan. (All + taxes etc)

NLXMEG VS N Round-Trip 146.00 (GBP)
XLXMEG VS X Round-Trip 196.00 (GBP)
QLXGB VS Q Round-Trip 248.00 (GBP)
MLXGB VS M Round-Trip 298.00 (GBP)
LLXGB VS L Round-Trip 348.00 (GBP)
BLXGB VS B Round-Trip 398.00 (GBP)
YLXGB VS Y Round-Trip 448.00 (GBP)
KLXMEG VS K Round-Trip 546.00 (GBP)
SLXAP7 VS S Round-Trip 888.00 (GBP)
WX1R VS W Round-Trip 1202.00 (GBP)
ZLAP VS Z Round-Trip 1832.00 (GBP)
DLAP1 VS D Round-Trip 2357.00 (GBP)
J2R VS J Round-Trip 3956.00 (GBP)

I think the fares quoted are pretty standard.

One thing to think about, on the run to Boston. Personally, I am quite comfortable in PE from LHR-BOS on VS11, but want to be in UC for BOS-LHR on VS12. Why? VS11 is a day flight; VS12 is overnight. You can get some very competitive PE outbound, UC return combinations. Typically about GBP 1,000-1,200.

Just a thought.

Thanks guys, a lot to think about, especially as Litlle 'un will have started one of the prep schools at £2K a term
