thanks guys!

Yeah i wondered if it might be cheaper going through a travel agent - i know when i went with my brother to New York in 2006 it certainly was.. but then again I could be wrong! I was hoping that because I was looking to book far in advance (Nov 2011), then I might get it a bit cheaper.. but i don't think it works that way!

Thanks for the heads up via PM human bean - i'm googling as we speak :P
