Short Trip To New York

[keyplus90]

I am planning to take my two teens (sons) for a short trip to New York during Summer holidays (July, August). As I have never travelled to USA before, I have a few questions,

1 - First of all when is it better to travel, July or August when it comes to cost of flights and hotel etc.

2 - What is the better way. Should I book a package (flight and hotel) or just book cheap flight and then look for hotel etc.

Thanks.

Here's a tip, don't EVER try and joke with the customs at the airport.
