V-Flyer

Dear All,

I'm planning a trip to NY next month using MPM option. Is there any particular VS flight I should consider or they are all just as good as each other. I understand they all use the 744 fleet?
How many miles would be redeemed for PE out but Economy in?
Any recommendations for a reasonable hotel in Manhattan?

Your feedback is appreciated.

Rgds,

Neil,
Welcome aboard VFlyer.

Using the search feature above, you would find this thread about New York hotels. There are so many hotels in Manhattan ... but, if you'd like a current response from some of our posters and members, try posting in the Hotels forum.

As for which VS flights are best, again, it's a matter of one's preferences. Take a look at the "Which Aircraft" feature and you'll see the types of aircraft normally flying the route (not every aircraft going to JFK is a B744 by the way).

Glad to have you with us. Hope this helps.

Chuck-

VH seemed quite good for accom only, and you get 10% discount for being a FC member - you may have to email them to add this on though.

Check out Trip Advisor for hotel reviews. I'm booked for the Renaissance New York for my trip

I've just booked a trip to NY too!

I chose the VS17 outbound, as I'm only 30 mins (dependant upon M25[:0]) from LHR, so I can easily jump onto that flight without having to take the day off of work.

As far as plane types are concerned, note that the VS17/VS18 are scheduled to be suite config'd A340-300's from November onwards (so no V:Port [:(])

As for the other flights, I think VS1/2 and VS3/4 are normally B747-400's with VS45/VS46 either an A340-600 or B747-400.
