Cheap flights from New York to San Pedro Sula

January is the cheapest month on this route, and the fares on the calendar tend to stay low through the winter before climbing in spring. Demand rises through early summer and stays high into the autumn, and the rainy season across Honduras runs through the later months, which can slow connections. Midweek departures from New York are quieter than Friday and Sunday, and the weeks around Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter are the ones to book well ahead or avoid altogether.

No airline flies this route nonstop, so every option is a connecting itinerary. American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and United Airlines sell most of the combinations out of the New York airports, usually with the stop in one of their own hubs. Copa Airlines and Avianca build their connections through Latin America, AeroMéxico routes some fares through Mexico City, and British Airways and Lufthansa appear on longer itineraries through Europe. JetBlue Airways and Frontier Airlines keep base fares low but charge for checked bags and seat choice, while the full-service carriers fold more into the ticket.

Ramon Villeda Morales is the airport you land at, and it is the only one serving San Pedro Sula, so there is no second option to compare. It sits outside the built-up centre rather than in it, and most travellers finish the trip by taxi, pre-booked transfer or a hotel shuttle arranged before landing. Sort your ride before you fly if you land late, keep some local currency for the driver, and have the address of your first night's stay written down.

• Check which New York airport you fly from, since Newark Liberty International, John F Kennedy and La Guardia all serve this route.
• Confirm the connection is on one ticket, because separate bookings leave you carrying the risk of a missed onward flight.
• Add baggage fees at JetBlue Airways and Frontier Airlines to the base fare before you choose.
• Check Honduras entry rules early, including passport validity and proof of onward travel.
• Book ahead for January, the cheapest month, and treat the Christmas and Easter weeks as peak.
