Flight NYC(JFK, LGA)-LAS
« Reply #1560 on: March 14, 2013, 09:52:20 AM »
Anyone know if there are any cheap fares out there for May?

Also are there any credit card or hotel pts program that would transfer to Virgin America at a decent rate? They seem to have the best flight availability.

Check ITA matrix.

AMEX MR transfers to Virgin America, but at an abysmal 1:2 rate.

We have a large group flying from NYC to Tel-Aviv for a wedding, LV NYC May 22 and LV Tel-Aviv Jun 2.

Anyone know about airlines that would offer better rates if we bought a block of tickets?

Thanks!

Flying from NYC
The cheapest i found was $361 with a stop in Ft. Lauderdale, but to return on the 12th, which is a Friday. But its really Thursday at 1:07am so you're back in LGA at 10:00am.
