This Friday marks the 10 year anniversary since starting uni and my best mate and I are thinking it's as good a time and reason as any to go to NYC - but we're quite useless when it comes to holiday planning.

Thankfully we're sorted for accomodation so we just need some cheap cattle class returns - where do you peeps start when looking for flights?

http://www.skyscanner.net

excellent site giving a graph showing the rates on different days etc, have got cheaper flights through there than apparently available on the airlines' websites too. When you book, you're taken directly to the airline offering the flight, so all the terms, weight limits etc are readily available. Enjoy

Nope. You're supposed to say:

Looking to book flights for my next photography sojourn, so I'll be utilising some of the links posted in this thread thus far. (8+)
