Couldn't you get anything any cheaper if you waited or is that price the only best deal about 
I paid £250 flight + top hotel when I visited Berlin last year only there for 3 days though but getting there and the hotel was great I was abit sceptical of the breakfasts but they were pretty nice, the baked beans were horrid but the Sausages were very nice 
what do they eat for breakkie in America KFC lmao !

The USA is abit different from Germany, the price for the flight was the cheapest for the time of year, wasn't prepared to run the risk of waiting and not getting anything. Just happy that i know i'm actually going now, roll on July.

It's around 7 hours but on there way there it works out at about 2-3 hours and gets added back on on the way home. Shopping definitely going to do all the tourist stuff and a helicopter ride too, will be magic. Will have to work out abit beforehand as i bet the portions will be massive hahaha.

I'd love to be on a plan that long,
I made my mate sit by the window cos I was scared firstime but I proper well loved it but he didn't though he looked abit peaky so he made me sit by the window on the way back 
next time I go off somewhere I wanna travel by proper Jumbo Jet,
our plane was a little thing lastime but it was great experience to get away
If I ever get to go to NYC I think i'll be over at the cinema seeing films before they hit here, shopping too i'd have to findout what size of clothes I am us sizes are different I know my shoe size 9-5
btw lets see what happens anyway if I get sorted by the end of the year then maybe I can prob go, perhaps my mate will pay for us

Thank god you not hittin LA, if you plan on getting into clubs especially ones with waiting lists get there early... cause after say 9.30 10pm they will hit you on a bottle service in other words you pay $300 to $600 + on a bottle of Jack to get into the club ok you get a private booth with that and all the coke you can drink with your bottle of JD or whatever bottle you have odered good times

A couple of tips for you haynesycop when in NY.
First have a trip round the city on the open deck bus, this helps you with your bearings. Buy the ticket that covers both Up Town and Down Town. The tickets can be purchased around Times Square, but haggle with the price we never paid the price they asked. This is the cheapest way and best way of seeing the sights, and you hop on hop off as many times as you like.
Outside Macy’s of the side door there is a little café set in the gardens, they do great Mango smoothies etc. and iced drinks.
Footlocker on Times Square great for cheaper trainers, and T-shirts for the larger fit!!
Helicopter flight well worth the money, but watch the turn when he comes back via ‘’The Statue Of Liberty’’, nearly had my breakfast again there. We didn’t bother with visiting the statue, as to be honest you can’t go up inside anymore so just went to ‘’Ellis Island’’ on the free ferry, and the other half took photos from the ferry of Liberty.
You have to do a show, as that’s part of NY.
We also stayed on Broadway /54th. Street A brilliant location for access to the city and on the doorstep to Central Park. The Letterman show is filmed on Broadway adjacent to this street!
Should you choose to go up the ‘Empire State Building’, then choose your time, because if you go up about an hour before dusk you get the best of both worlds. You see the city by daylight, and also by night. Good tip that one saves you paying twice.
Niagara Falls also another good trip, but an all day one and you have to book in advance as that gets booked up very very quick.
Oh! and on the plane before you go buy yourself a headphone adapter, so you can use you own headphones from your ipod in the plane. We always fly Virgin and their headphones are a little tacky, so we use our own via the adapter..
There is loads more obviously, but this may help a little.

Sleep on a plane that leaves at 1300?? good luck!!
you won't need sleep anyway as in theory the flight is only 3 hours
you just might need an early night and then you will be well away!\\
I don't get jet lag
