Hi

Thinking of going to NYC for 4 or 5 nights at the end of March.

Any recommendations for airlines, hotels etc?

Any idea if it Would it be cheaper to book now or leave it until the last minute?

Thanks in advance

From my experiences of NYC the earlier you book the better.

Am going to NYC on march 25th. I booked my tickets in October 2012 and they've been going up ever since. It's Easter holidays for the kids so prices will go up closer to the time as well. Hotels are pretty ridiculous too the more central you stay. Go to www.hotels.com which gives you a range of choices with distances

We went Nov 2011 and flew BA. Seemed the cheapest and had really good flight times. We also stayed in the Roosevelt Hotel which is right next to Grand Central station. Perfect location, 2 streets away from 5th Ave, and a short walk from Times Sq.

If you have seen the film Man on a ledge, this is the hotel that appears in most of the scenes.

When we go we always just book through ebookers, you can get some great deals. We last went in November for 6 days, £700 each for the flight and hotel. We stayed at the Wellington, 2 blocks south of the park on 7th Ave. Hotel was ok, small room, but clean and centrally located. ebookers currently have it at £961 for a week at the end of March, flying Virgin.

Booked via Expedia, flight was Delta/Air France and also stayed in the Wellington - hotel was fine, its up in midtown so good for the touristy stuff and the subway links are right outside.

We went in March about five years ago, the weather was nice, stayed at The Days Inn, on fifth avenue, about five minutes walk from Central Park. Did a couple of open topped bus tours, (good) saw the usual tourist sights, Dakota Building, Coney Island, SoL, Chrysler building, Brooklyn Bridge, Harlem etc.......

I went last year on the 27th March for 6 nights and it was fantastic weather, I didn't wear a jumper most of the day, it was a bit chilly at night though.

Typical skys



I recommend getting right into Staten Island for a walk around too
