  • For the best chance at a low fare, aim to book around 12 weeks before you fly. On this route, that window historically saves about 35% versus last-minute pricing (KAYAK booking data, last 12 months).
  • If you can choose when to travel, plan your New York John F Kennedy Intl Airport to Tampa trip for January. Fares historically average $196 round-trip in that month - typically $165 less than the most expensive month, which is December (based on the last 12 months).
  • For the best chance of arriving on time, fly with Delta. Over the past three months, 84% of Delta flights from New York John F Kennedy Intl Airport to Tampa arrived on time, slightly above the route average of 81%. When flights on this route arrive late, they're delayed by an average of 2h 44m, so choosing an airline with strong on-time performance can make a difference if you're on a tight schedule.
  • If you have the time, taking a 1-stop flight through Fort Lauderdale Airport (FLL) can be cheaper than flying direct. The cheapest layover option averages $193 round-trip on this route - about $106 less than direct flights (based on the last 12 months).

    • La Quinta Inn Tampa Airport Stadium Westshore
    • Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay
