Your guide to booking New York to Knoxville 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 Sunday. On this route, Saturday flights average $374, about $203 less than Sunday fares (35% savings) based on the last 12 months.
  • For the best chance at a low fare, aim to book around 26 weeks before you fly. On this route, that window historically saves about 49% versus last-minute pricing (KAYAK booking data, last 12 months).
  • If you can choose when to travel, plan your New York to Knoxville trip for January. Fares historically average $312 round-trip in that month - typically $179 less than the most expensive month, which is August (based on the last 12 months).
  • If you have the time, taking a 1-stop flight through Nashville Intl Airport (BNA) can be cheaper than flying direct. The cheapest layover option averages $408 round-trip on this route - about $26 less than direct flights (based on the last 12 months).
  • If you're traveling to John Kennedy (JFK) to drop off a passenger, make sure you know which terminal they'll be departing from because each terminal has its parking lot. If your passenger has lots of luggage, you can park in one of the free Cell Phone Lots.
  • Arrive at LaGuardia Airport (LGA) at least 2h before the scheduled departure time for domestic flights or 3h for international flights to provide enough time for check-in and security screening. The airsides of the airports each have their own security checkpoint.
  • Even if you have previously used a specific airline to depart from John F. Kennedy, it is always best to double-check the signage because airlines occasionally change terminals. Additionally, it aids in preventing confusion regarding recent changes and terminal specifics.
  • John Fitzgerald Kennedy offers wheelchairs to clients with reduced mobility when needed. A caregiver taking you to the airport can also stop by an airline's desk to get a 'non-flying boarding pass,' which gives them access to all the airport terminals for continued assistance at the airport.
  • If travelers have any issues, they can conveniently get airport information by downloading the free McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS) Phone App. Tyson airport also has several plug-in stations where travelers may charge their electronics.
