 theres a great price from Sydney,Australia as long as you say you are 100% flexible

 theres no way for anyone to help you unless you make it known where you Live or will be flying to the UK from which State or Country if not US

Typical case of NYC syndrome: You mean there are teams besides the Yankees that can compete for a championship?
Example: One time some years back when we were driving across the GWB into NYC there was a sign saying "They call it the world series but they ought to rename it, after all it happens here every year"

Typical case of NYC syndrome: You mean there are airports besides EWR/LGA/JFK where people originate from?
Example: In my experience 99% of the time someone doesn't say where they are departing from it's due to a case of NYC syndrome.

if you have AA miles, you can get for 40k jfk-lhr, but ull need to check your dates.
btw i didnt realize this was also entertainment! I had a good laugh reading the posts...

 it will be 60k its for June and AAs Off-Peak 40k ends I believe 5/15 that travel must have been completed

 the cheapest i found was a EWR-SNN (Shannon) flight on CO for $598 if you travel on 6/15 and back 6/24 change either 1 of those dates an dit goes thru the roof.

 Right now theres nothing at all Cheap in a fare anywhere.

BTW even with SNN youd need to purchase another tkt on a LCC that charges per bag etc etc

 It looks to me at least for now either finding an award tkt, I havent checked but with fares so high I'd doubt there are any.

 Id say if you are purchasing you might as well pay a couple of $$ more and fly non-stop into MAN and avoid all the schelping from LHR to the city to the train or bus, too much hassle for not enough savings IMO

AA doesnt show any saaver availability on the going on the 21st and returning on the 24th. (only 60K each way "Aanytime awards")
BA doesnt show any award availability and I cant find any star alliance availability either.
I checked for All NYC and PHL airports and going to both LHR and MAN for 6/21-6/24.

[steve2]

 here goes

  6/20 PHL-MAN 8:40pm - 8:45am A330-300 availble coach 27,500 or Bix 57,500

  6/24 MAN-PHL 11:15am - 2pm A330-300 available coach 27,500

 both in coach  = 55k and $109.60 txs (got to LUV the UK)

 there are some flights for the same mileage from EWR or LGA to PHL but I wouldnt do them as you end up spending most of the time flying with a stop to PHL eg LGA-DCA-PHL-MAN leave LGA @ 1pm arrive DCA @ 2pm , then leave DCA @ 3:40pm arrive PHL 5pm , then wait 3 3/4 hrs for the MAN flight. Id rather simply drive and park at PHL and fly @ 8:40pm

 I saw this on Continental w/o logging in so its available to all

 The only thing is you must leave 6/20 nothing available on 6/21 BUT U did say you were flex with the dates

Delta.com is showing 60,000 for JFK-MAN for 06/20-06/24.

Considering that the OP has 60K delta miles and wants to leave from NYC seems like this would be the obvious choice.

 I take it you didnt check out the Details!

 6/20 is Ok but coming back for 60k and $166 is via CDG and overnighting it so the least connection time is 12hr+

 to come back same day w/o a night at CDG is 75k and $181 ( flights are MAN-ATL-JFK)

 or 92,500 to fly on the non-stop back

 Id rather drive to/from PHL and save the miles , $$ on taxes and not having to pay fora  Hotel room for 6/24 @ CDG

But thats Me

 AA has only 60k just for JFK-MAN

 elgoats what ever you decide to do if you want 1 of those free tkts dont think about it too long, if you do you wont have anything to think about, a sthey will be gone
