i want to book a break in New York inc flight and hotel but most trips only seem to be for 3 nights and ideally I would like longer without it costing a fortune. Please help
Have you tried hostels. You share with a few other people or they do private rooms which are about half the price of normal hotel rooms. You may have to share a bathroom though. Trying searching for New York Hostels. Then go on Travelocity and get a cheap flight separately.
Another idea is staying at a motel outside of New York and using their free transport into the city every day. That can be very cheap.
Keep trying and try booking seperatley, I've recently booked a flight with www.opodo.co.uk for �198 with Virgin Atlantic and a hotel with www.expedia.co.uk for �130. There will be seven of us going on this trip and we'll be going for 5 nights. Price wise you will have to be very vigilant and be on the net for hours at a time but there are cheap NYC breaks out there.
Good luck!
