Airline Ticket Price Comparisons

[lbaspotter]

I've just checked flight only prices for New York between October 25th to October 29th for me parents as they want to go over for their wedding anniversary this year. I was amazed with the prices some of the airlines are charging.

Below example bookings were for 1x passenger with 1x checked-in bag in economy seats.

United Airlines = MAN-EWR-MAN = £1,176
Delta Airlines = MAN-JFK-MAN = £1,125.38p
American Airlines = MAN-JFK-MAN = £1,126
Thomas Cook Airlines = MAN-JFK-MAN = £662.98p
British Airways = LBA-LHR-JFK-LHR-LBA = £610
KLM = LBA-AMS-JFK-AMS-LBA = £1,455.49p
Aer Lingus = LBA-DUB-JFK-DUB-LBA = £626.87p
Jet2.com = LBA-EWR-LBA = £621.60p

Now should they pick Jet2 and fly direct from LBA on a Boeing 757-200 or either go with British Airways or Aer Lingus who use wide bodied aircraft on there Trans Atlantic services?

Some serious prices for the US carriers !! and the product is sub standard...

Aer Lingus gives you the advantage of being pre-cleared for American border control, you arrive as a domestic having been cleared in Ireland, big advantage.
My wife however flies transatlantic frequently, and once again next week she will use BA as their product is excellent, albeit in business..

As for Jet2 a low cost 'slaveship',?, no thanks.
