    Best place to book New York shopping trip ?,around 5 days ,anytime from now untill xmas , consider 27th Dec if price was really good.

    Last time I checked tour operators had best deals, online tends to be flights / rooms /transfers / sightseeing seperate which bumps up price.

    Best value tour operator ?, or online place I dont know about ?

    thanks;)

    ebookers.ie seem to have some fairly good deals with flights to the USA, but often the cheapest ones connect at Heathrow and it's worth the extra few bob to just use Aer Lingus tbh, as we did. Worked out at €1300 return for two adults for myself and the aul' fella. We stayed at a place on 48th St which was great for $230 a night, but around Xmas it will be more like $300 a night average if not higher. You pay by the room though so don't despair.

    When you get there and if you're looking for a bargain, check this place out:
    Woodbury Common Outlet Mall: http://www.premiumoutlets.com/outlets/outlet.asp?id=7

    It's about 80km outside NYC so you'll need to organise a trip on one of the tour buses or rent a car for the day. We rented the car as we were gonna have a pile of stuff, that was $113 for a day but well worth it; we saved at least 5 times that compared to here on the clothes and stuff.

    I'm going to shut up about clothes now, I spent too much time shopping for them last month than can be considered normal for a guy as it is! :pac:
