Your guide to booking New York to Indianapolis flights

Get tips on when to book, when to fly and what to know before your trip.
  • If your dates are flexible, aim for a Saturday departure and avoid flying on Monday. On this route, Saturday flights average $326, about $185 less than Monday fares (36% savings) based on the last 12 months.
  • For the best chance at a low fare, aim to book around 5 weeks before you fly. On this route, that window historically saves about 34% versus last-minute pricing (KAYAK booking data, last 12 months).
  • If you can choose when to travel, plan your New York to Indianapolis trip for December. Fares historically average $266 round-trip in that month - typically $161 less than the most expensive month, which is September (based on the last 12 months).
  • For the best chance of arriving on time, fly with United Airlines. Over the past three months, 87% of United Airlines flights from New York to Indianapolis 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 43m, 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 Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport (ATL) can be cheaper than flying direct. The cheapest layover option averages $265 round-trip on this route - about $87 less than direct flights (based on the last 12 months).
  • If you're arriving late at night and need somewhere to stay, check out these hotels close to Indianapolis Airport.

    • Crowne Plaza Indianapolis-Airport By IHG
    • Extended Stay America Suites - Indianapolis - Airport
    • Comfort Suites near Indianapolis Airport
  • On top of John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK), two other airports serve the New York area, Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and LaGuardia Airport (LGA). Of the three, LaGuardia is the closest to downtown at less than 9 miles.
  • If you are flying out of JFK Airport, please ensure that you arrive at least 3h before your flight is scheduled to take off. The airport is one of the busiest in the country and therefore experiences long security queues.
  • If you plan to leave your car at the airport, look out for the offsite parking options. Most of the time, they are owned by independent companies and therefore charge lower rates than the parking lots inside the airport.
  • Consider booking a direct flight instead of connecting flights to make your flight more sustainable. This is because the overall carbon footprint from a direct trip is lower than connecting trips since they are usually longer and burn more fuel.
  • If you want to save on costs, consider booking flights that depart from EWR or LGA. Since they are relatively smaller and less busy than JFK, ticket costs tend to be lower.
