It's definitely better for longer trips, but NYC-Paris is a good one for us because I know our experts have a few tricks up their sleeves with this route.
I often fly Montreal-SF so can also comment on NYC-SF. If you just want the cheapest economy flight AND you have checked bags, no, don't use Flightfox. However, if you have carry-on, then our experts can help.
It gets much more interesting if you want to fly this route in business. I've done it a few times in business for about economy prices (usually a little less). It involves a few little tricks and a slightly complex booking, but for those who do it often, it can reduce the pain of 12 hours in econ. I usually only go to SF for a day or two, so being more relaxed has a noticeable affect on my time there and proceeding. It's not always available, but I'm usually pretty flexible.
It's too bad I already booked my flights for NYC-SF (carry-on) on the 15th of this month... I would have tried it. Do you think you would have been able to find better than the $318 roundtrip I got? Or business for the same price?
