The new Sex and the City film launch has taken the UK by storm and is apparently the inspiration for an increase in all-female city breaks to the US, in particular to New York.

New York, or the Big Apple, is the most popular US destination and the first port of call for many women, according to a recent survey.  Combined with a cheap exchange rate where Brits can currently get around two dollars for every pound, many travel operators have seen an increase in trips to the US.  Indeed, the average holiday length to the USA has increased from ten days to fourteen days since the beginning of 2008.

A weak US dollar means bargain holidays to the US, and people are taking advantage of the cheap flight prices internal to the US to combine multiple city breaks in America.  The most popular combination with New York currently is Las Vegas, although other popular combinations include Las Vegas and Los Angeles or Las Vegas and San Francisco.
