New York Flights

During 2008, according to the Civil Aviation Authority

, just over 4 million people flew from a London Airport to New York. New York flights are available. People flew to JFK and Newark airports, US after departing from four different airports (Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton and Stansted). Other than forming a major link between Europe and North America, its amongst worlds busiest international routes. If actually 4 Million people flew the route, then it means that more than 4 Million were provided seats and that's equates to over 11,000 seats every day of year. Considering an average British Airways Boeing 747-400 which can carry 299 passengers in First, Club and Business 36 flights are available at minimum a day or one every 40 minutes.

As there are many flights available like New York flights, you think of easily finding a cheap flight according to your convenience. But the changes of airline industry make the task of finding the best flight much tougher. Combination of two trends has changed process of booking a flight:

(1) Cheapest flights are shown at the top of the price/availability flight display by web booking engines.

(2) In always tensed, post-credit crunch economy people will increasingly swap more research time for a better-informed decision.

Three categories of on-line flight bookers: (1) People who check just one or two sites; one airline and on-line agency site are lazy bookers (A) look at obvious options and book the best available which leads to direct (B), non-stop (C) flight on national carrier like British Airways or American Airlines, leaving from the primary airport, UK (Heathrow) and flying to the primary airport in New York (JFK).

(2)Canny Bookers check four or five sites, (two airlines, two on-line agencies and one flight comparison site (D) and as the result, books the best, most likely to be again on a non-stop flight with a lesser known US or UK carrier (Virgin not BA, Delta not American) and possibly either from or into on one the secondary airports (Gatwick or Newark rather than Heathrow or JFK).

(3) Informed Bookers apart from checking the obvious flight booking sites also find which airlines fly the route. They start with sites of air port, in case of London (Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton Airports.com) and find who flies where. After this, they check airlines sites, in addition to at least three on-line agencies and two price comparison sites and check Google news to find if any announcement to fly the route has been made, leading to an alternative choice, direct and non-stop but with a unlikely carrier like Air India, Kuwait Airways who fly directly from Heathrow to New York or even probably with a carrier which has a direct flight, but stops en route, like Icelandair who provides cheap New York flights via Iceland or cheap competitor Iceland Express who just launched Gatwick to Newark via Iceland or an airline with a non-direct flight having an intermediate stop in Washington like united airlines, but both the transatlantic and domestic legs should have same flight.

Clearly, as choices become more transparent, consumers power is growing but by understanding the market rules, even canny bookers can make better choices. This article is written to provide more understanding with hope of finding better choices and cheaper flights.
