Cheap flights from Astana to New York

December and January are the expensive stretch, with Christmas and New Year in that period. Prices then ease through February and March, while May, July and August fall in the school-holiday and summer period. September is the cheapest month in the price calendar on this page, and October and November often sit below the summer peak. Book earlier for December and January, and compare midweek departures with weekend ones before you choose. If your dates are fixed, check the price calendar for nearby days, because a one-day shift can change the fare on a connecting route.

Every option connects, so start by checking where the itinerary routes through and how long the layover is. Air Astana, Turkish Airlines, Lufthansa, LOT Polish Airlines, Emirates, China Southern Airlines, Uzbekistan Airways, Pegasus, Fly Dubai and SCAT JSC Aircompany appear on this route, and their fares include different things. Some tickets include checked baggage, meals and seat selection; others charge for each. On a connecting journey, also check whether the whole trip is one ticket, because separate tickets can leave you to recheck bags and solve missed connections yourself. Compare the arrival airport, connection time and included baggage before choosing the lowest fare.

You can land at Newark Liberty International, John F Kennedy or La Guardia, and the three airports sit in different parts of the New York area. Newark is across the Hudson in New Jersey, while JFK and La Guardia are in Queens. Rail and bus links run from all three into Manhattan, but the useful route depends on your terminal, arrival time and final address. Check the airport code on your ticket before you book, and again before you travel, because a fare into one airport may not suit a hotel or meeting in another borough. Allow extra time for immigration, baggage collection and the transfer into the city.
