This is a nice one – Aer Lingus has quite good availability on direct flights from Manchester to New York this spring, with the all-in return price starting at £377.99. You’re looking at another £100-£150 for a similar flight with other carriers.
Let us give you something to consider though – for one pence more (seriously) you can stop over in Dublin on the way and spend a few nights exploring; and they’ll handle US customs for you before the flight to NYC. If you’ve ever been through the miserable never-ending queues at NY customs, you’ll know what a nice extra that would be.
As mentioned, availability looks pretty good from May to July. London flights are available, but they’re £100 or so more, currently.

Kate has travelled through Europe, South America and beyond, usually with a notebook, a half-formed plan and a strong opinion on airport snacks.

How Kate works
Kate checks the details that can change the value of a trip, including cabin-bag rules, airline fees, hotel location, seasonality, travel dates and booking conditions. She is especially interested in offers that look useful on the surface but need a proper reader-first check before they are worth recommending.
