anyone know any good online travel agents ?

want book NYC for Oct time.
i've had a look at the usual suspects, expedia, travelocity, ebookers, lastmin, skytravel. just wondering if you know of any others thats worth a look at ?

i looked on these web site about 3 weeks ago and seems the prices now have jumped up by around £80 ish . thinking maybe because kids broke up from school.??

Aren't Virgin meant to be good for transatlantic flights? Probbaly cost a bomb though :(

A mate of mine works for John Lewis and she always books hers through their recommended website City breaks, beach holidays and more from the John Lewis Partnership
I'm also booking NYC for the first time in Nov/Dec so if you do come across any good deals I'd appreciate a heads up, cheers:thumbsup:

thing is nics with city breaks in europe at moment, the exchange rate with the euro is piss poor, so your going to end up spending a fortune once your over there.
