Hey there.
In June I leave for a backpacking trip (my second - first was in Europe). I plan to spend a short time (two or three weeks) in the north-east of the US (and perhaps a little bit of Canada), and then go to India for...well, that depends how much money I have

.
What is the best way about doing this? As my subject line indicates, I'm considering going London to New York, New York to Bombay, then Bombay back to London. A quick check on STA Travel websites (going London-NY and Bombay-London, with NY-Bombay as a separate flight) totals £929 (I am 18 years old, not a student). Any idea how I can find it cheaper?
Any advice would be *greatly* appreciated.
Yours,
