Cheap flights from Florence to New York

The weeks on either side of September often combine lower fares with manageable weather on this route, and September itself is the cheapest month in the calendar shown. Summer school holidays and the Christmas and New Year period push demand up, while midweek departures can be easier to book than weekend ones. If you are flexible, avoid the peak holiday weeks and check the calendar for the dates around your trip rather than only the month.

The difference you feel first is between a no-frills ticket and a full-service one: Transavia France is the low-cost carrier in this list, while American Airlines, ITA Airways, Iberia, Aegean Airlines, Air Europa, TAP Portugal, Portug, Icelandair and Emirates are network airlines. All of these itineraries connect, so compare baggage rules, seat choice, meal service and the length of the stop, not only the fare. If a connection is sold on separate tickets, the risk of a missed flight sits with you, and rebooking can be costly.

Getting into town is the first practical task after landing. Newark Liberty International and John F Kennedy both have rail or airport express links into Manhattan, while La Guardia is closer to the centre but relies on road transport, so traffic matters more there. Newark and JFK feel like a longer transfer, especially after a connection, and La Guardia can be quicker by taxi or bus when roads are clear. Check which airport your ticket names, because the three are in different parts of the region and the onward journey changes with each one.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check passport validity and any entry requirements for the USA before you book.
• Confirm whether your itinerary is one ticket or separate tickets, because that changes who protects a missed connection.
• Check which New York airport your ticket names, since Newark, JFK and La Guardia are not interchangeable.
• Compare baggage allowances, because low-cost and full-service fares include different amounts.
• Look at connection time and terminal changes, not only total journey time.
• Check the price calendar for the weeks around September before fixing your dates.
