Top tips for finding cheap flights to New York

  • Book at least 2 weeks before departure in order to get a below-average price.
  • High season is considered to be May, June and July. The cheapest month to fly from the United States is February.
  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest New York flight deals.
  • For business travelers headed to Manhattan, the closest airport is LaGuardia Airport (LGA); however, it focuses on domestic flights. John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is the international airport nearest to Manhattan.
  • After a long-haul international flight to New York, you’re welcome to relax and unwind at the airport lounges at JFK and EWR. These airports offer international flights and consequently have several members-only and pay-to-access lounges (Air France, American Airlines, Delta Sky Club, United Club, Alaska Lounge, and Centurion Lounge) at their terminals.
  • All three New York airports are fully accessible to disabled passengers. They are equipped with ramps, lifts, and wheelchair-accessible restrooms. Any passenger needing special assistance should contact their airline before traveling.
  • Newark Airport is the best option if you wish to travel to the neighboring cities via train. The airport is served by the New Jersey Transit Authority with rail connections to New York and Newark Penn Stations for Amtrak connections.
  • Although quite far from downtown New York, Newark Airport has some of the shortest wait times. It is less busy than JFK, clearing security is much quicker, and the AirTrain provides easy access to downtown New York, making it a great alternative to JFK for international flights.
  • For flights to New York, there are two main options directly in NYC; namely, LaGuardia Airport (LGA) and JFK International Airport (JFK). LaGuardia acts primarily as a domestic outlet for travelers going to and from NYC. JFK, on the other hand, is more internationally focused and offers direct flights to destinations all around the world.
  • In addition to the main two airports, the neighboring Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) is also a great option for flights to New York. While Newark is technically in New Jersey, it also serves as a large air traffic hub for NYC. It is only 12 miles from New York City and is easily reached via AirTrain Newark, which stops at a number of subway stations in downtown NYC.
  • Bogged down with work before your flight? Don’t worry, LaGuardia has you covered with its Jabbrrbox automated workspaces. Featuring IoT technology, sound-sealed cubicles and secure WiFi, Jabbrrbox Work Booths offer an ideal working environment for travelers on the go.
  • The ARK at JFK is perfect for travelers with pets. The ARK is an animal care facility that aims to bring first class flying service to all of our four-legged friends. They offer services such as animal care throughout the pre- and post-flight experience as well as equine import/export.
  • The AirTrain offers an easy and cheap way to get to, from, and around JFK International Airport. You can easily reach JFK by connecting to the AirTrain via the E, A, J, and Z subway lines in downtown NYC. Additionally, it provides quick transportation between any of the airport terminals for free.

Pros: "4 1/2 hour late boarding! Missed my connecting flight and was stuck!"
Cons: "Had a 4 1/2 hour delay from Minneapolis to NY city. Which of course cause me to miss my flight to Europe. There was no attempt to find another flight that would get me there in time. By the time I got to NY it was close to Midnight, and the only hotel available was 40 mins away from the airport at an additional cost of $270 for the room and uber rides. No compensation even offered or provided for extra expenses they caused by us leaving so late. Thank you Sun Country for starting my vacation off so well."

it was a nightmare of a trip. multiple delays, dirty bathrooms, long wait in tarmac, ran out of fuel diverting flight. on and all over 4 hour delay!

19 hr delay requiring a change to red eye. No lounge access without paying. Loss of seat upgrade fee.

Cons: "Honestly I have no complaints but they could at least serve something for a 6 hour flight"
