Care to elaborate on the 'few places'? Best I'm seeing is ex-DUB for around $2.6k

Alternatively saw BA ex-AMS for around 1.5k
Beware. Lufthansa will use A319 with Euro-J on this route!

I think it was a 747 FRA-BOM...?

KLM ex-LON (787 from AMS) for 1,550 also possible

My suggestion is hold your nerve and make a decision end of Nov - this has over the last few years had some interesting deals, either 2 for 2018 / additional reward seats etc etc. Three weeks also until Black Friday where they might want to shift some Xmas excess capacity

Andy, have you checked Flight + Hotel prices? Saw a few good prices recently for NYC however that was EX-LHR, not DUB

Yeah no cheaper really once you factor in Euro v Sterling and the DUB-LHR hop

There’s some Aer Lingus flights for around €1300 to NYC from Dublin (29 Dec to 1 Jan) but you don’t get BAEC tier points sadly. The price is from Google Flights with the infamous “book with travel agent” option to get this price.

Seems my waiting has paid off. DUB-LHR-JFK in J has dropped by 200 to approx 1400 for New Years, think Im happy enough with that. DL seem to be price matching on the direct DUB-JFK but Ive very little experience of them

If you are based in DUB and don't care about avios/TP, I would certainly take the nonstop DL flight. It is a 764, so you should try to get a solo window seat. Those directly against the window are best for privacy. I would rank them better than any BA CW (except 747 UD). And you would avoid the messy transfer in LHR and risk of misconnect.
