Need help on the best deals to New York

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

I'm asking this question on behalf of my youngest brother.

 

Any of you guys know the best deals for flight tickets to New York? He's going to the States with his University entourage,probably in early 2012.

 

He had informed me that QR tickets costing around 4K.

 

Hope you guys could help him out.

 

Thanks!

I made some comparison. You can try to take Qatar, Qatar is like 800 cheaper than CX.

 

I'm thinking the same thing too; but according to him,QR price around 4K.

 

Will ask him to check in detail soon.

Yes, QR priced at 4K and CX priced at 4.8K.

The Middle Eastern airlines would probably be most competitive in terms of pricing. Qatar, Emirates, Etihad, Royal Jordanian come to my mind.

 

I think Emirates probably has the best schedule - so the total travel time will be the shortest...

You may want to check with Korean Air... and may be Asiana Airlines too ? For Asiana Airlines your brother will need to come to BKI of course. I understand Asiana Airlines has some kind of promotion to North America from BKI several times in a year and you will need to call their ticket office in KK directly because the special fare is not offered through travel agency.

Qatar is quite okay too, less than 2 hours transit time.

But you get to fly the A380 on the KUL-DXB sector! And if you don't mind a longer transit, you can also take the A380 on the DXB-JFK sector too.

About RM 4,400+ for February 2012 travel.

 

Hmmm about 400MYR higher than QR... but if for those who really love A380, I guess it would be fine.

I'm trying to search at Kuwait Airways. For Dept. on 11 Feb, and return 22 Feb, it will cost you 2151MYR. :)

 

Cool, that's pretty cheap. I tried to look around Feb, 2012. 2713MYR all in, but one stop in LHR. Still, it's the cheapest among all full service carriers.
