Cheap Flights from Beijing to New York

Aim to book six to eight weeks ahead for the best selection of fares when international routes open. October tends to be calmer than surrounding months, while November and December draw more travellers around holiday periods. Midweek departures usually cost less than weekend flights on long-haul connections.

Fares from Xiamen Airlines, Shanghai Airlines and Hainan Airlines typically include checked baggage, whereas Air Canada, United Airlines and Korean Air often charge separately for extras like seat selection or additional luggage. All Nippon Airways and Asiana Airlines provide connecting options through Asian hubs before reaching the United States.

Arriving late in the day at Newark Liberty International or John F Kennedy means fewer public transport options are running, so you may need to rely on taxis or ride services into Manhattan. La Guardia sits closer to central areas but offers limited overnight shuttle alternatives compared with its two larger neighbours.
