I've got a booking for May next year in F with the wife using the 241 - it'll be our first time so we're really excited!

Availability for New York is probably the best in long haul due to the volume of daily flights. For us its great as we've never been.

I even booked the Knickerbocker for 4nts through Kaligo and get 30,000 avios in the process - oddly its only cost me £250 a night and currently the dates are now coming up over £300 a night - when I booked through Kaligo they took the booking even though I knew the Knickerbocker weren't listing 2016 rates on their own site at the time (I even emailed them and they hadn't locked down the pricing structure) - in fact Kaligo was the ONLY site that listed the hotel as available.

I'm just about to qualify for my next 241 before I start churning AMEX cards again...wondering where to go next!
