Big Apple hostel? It looked better than st james New yorker?

Dont be fooled by them saying nexk to central park (its miles away) you couldnt walk from central park to times square. Or when they say just off broadway, as im sure you know broadway is massive!

Searching as I type, it's a budget trip really so nothing to fancy for a couple that make less per year than one of the typical FF punters!

Possibly could be JFK, do tell anyhow or is it PM only?

Liam

 

[Liam]

Right guys and gals, update time!

Flights booked, no longer need to fly to London to get my flight, upgraded to fly from Glasgow for £40 per person! Result!

Flying to JFK so security trick now required Jonathan!

And also the bumping is just a heads up to anyone who may have other info to add.

Thanks

Liam

Have you found accomodation?

Ok, I've revived this thread due to reading the Boston one.

Now the flights are booked, accomodation booked, travel insurance gained, luggage ready, what else am I missing? I don't have transfers but I will email my hotel to enquire.

Also going to book a helicopter tour!

Liam

 

[black_cinq]

Have you thought about getting the airport bus as a transfer i mentioned them before and they're very good

I'm jealous about the helicopter tour - fancy taking me

 

[Liam]

Hello Lora my personal Travel Advisor
