Well we did this last year and it was fine but this year the price of hotels is much higher. Now we’re considering should we go ahead with the NYC trip or switch the flights to somewhere in the Med. I know we should have confirmed the hotel prices first but that’s another story.
I’m using Priceline to try and get the best hotel deal. Current bid is at 230 dollars a night for 3 star or better for 5 nights in Manhattan. I’m having no success. The least this is going to cost is around 2 grand euros. (Hotel incl taxes at least is 920 Euro plus the return flights 1040 euro)
So I was saying to herself that we could have had 2 sun holidays for the same money. Now we’re considering if that really is a runner. We were thinking would it be possible to exchange those 2 return flights to NYC (2 by 520 euro) for 4 return flights to say Malaga (4 x 240 euro). Guy at Aer Lingus reservations explained that you cannot use the surplus fare to buy other tickets but maybe there is a way around this.
So it would be great if someone were able to help
1. Is there a way to exchange those NYC flight tickets without losing half their value?
2. Has anyone booked a reasonably priced hotel in NYC for late September
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
