Which airline? Help!!

[Ali and boyz]

would def. go direct if you can.

we flew MY Travel this year and last and the crew especially this year were brilliant and the flight both going and coming back left early.

Jakey, thanks for this, it's good to know the Continental flights were fine. In my opinion the worst part of coming home via London is the lack of sleep on the night flight and then the wait to come back to Scotland. At least once boarding again in Newark, the longest part of the flight brings me straight home.
My youngest kids haven't been to New York so I think even flying over it will be a novelty for my son.

Julie - we have flown seven times (four transatlantic) with Continental this year. Although it's not ideal travelling indirect it is so lovely being an hour from home when we land rather than an arduous journey back from Gatwick

We found the staff far far nicer on Continental than VA or BA too.

The only down side could be the continental plane seating arrangements which was 3 x 3, wasn't great when the 2 kids were younger for the one sitting beside them but not a nightmare. I think it's still the same arrangement.

Kids are older now so I've no problems. I'm tempted for a 1 or 2 night stay in NY on the way back given that we've done the expensive part going over.

I was also considering a couple of nights in NY on the way back, budget permitting. I do love NY in the summer months and as I mentioned my younger kids haven't been so I might surprise them.

Sounds like a perfect end to a great holiday.

I went direct from Manchester to Sanford in September with Thomson.

Great!! 37" leg room, leather chairs (all seats), Own TV, seating is 2 4 2

You need to book meals seperate. Total for 3 people was £870.

I will definatley use them again over Virgin, BA, Monarch, Mytravel and United Airlines who I have all used before.

Also I prefer Sanford to OI but its a few years (4) since I went to OI.
