Flight prices

Hi all, priced a one way flight from Dublin to New York yesterday for December. Air france had the best fare at €230. Returned today to book to realise it's jumped to €1950!! I've tried everything- deleting cookies etc but nothing changes. I understand that I can try another airline but Aer Lingus are fairly pricey also. Should I just consider it a lesson learned, or do you think that the price might fall again somewhat? Thanks!

€230 for DUB-NYC is a very cheap ticket, are you sure you were looking at the correct and final price? As that's a very large jump.
The best way to look for the cheapest bar this stage is prob skyscanner, have you had a look there ?

Thanks for your reply! Yes it's funny- when I price return tickets for that date the departing ticket from Dublin - NY is €230. However, when I price single tickets Dublin - NY they are €1950 each! Any ideas?

Single tickets are usually very expensive. Id just book the return and not use the retun leg. Have you looked at Norwegian by any chance?

What date in December are you looking at? I have just put in December 6th and aer lingus are ?439 to JFK. Norwegian are ?159 to SWF.

AF/KL price singles very expensively even on European routes.

That's the problem, everyone wants to be in New York for new year.

That's the problem, everyone wants to be in New York for new year. But Aer Lingus is still only ?437.

By the way unless you have a resident visa you cannot enter the US on a one way ticket.

Using the visa waiver program, which most Irish people do, you have to prove you will be leaving the US in no more than 90 days.

Airline / site / return date I can't see that?

240 return even with a 5 hour layover is a steal.

Be no bags or food with that just a heads up but still a steal

For that price return to JFK I couldn't care less - can't see that price online though

What website are you using? Have you tried Skyscanner?

OP was looking for single ticket to New York, so my quote was single only..

Thanks everyone! Got sorted, flight booked. Was totally confused about a single way ticket being way more expensive than a return but I get it now!
