Cheap flights from Prague to New York

February is the cheapest month in the dated fares for this route, so start there if your dates are flexible. The rest of the year is shown month by month, with December and school holidays worth checking early before seats on connecting itineraries become scarce. Compare weekday and weekend dates in the price calendar rather than assuming one is always lower. Book once you are sure of your dates, then check again before you pay, because long-haul fares move while you wait.

Some tickets on this route include a checked bag, seat selection and meals, while others start from a basic fare where those items cost extra, so read the fare rules before you compare prices. The carriers listed for Prague to New York are LL, Air Serbia, APG Airlines, Animawings, American Airlines, Aer Lingus, Icelandair, Transavia France, SATA Azores Airlines and Turkish Airlines, and all of them require at least one connection from Ruzyne. A lower fare can become expensive once you add bags or choose seats, and connection times and airports differ between carriers. Check which airline actually operates each leg, especially when a journey is sold under one name but flown by another.

New York has three possible arrival airports, Newark Liberty International, John F Kennedy and La Guardia, and they sit in different parts of the region, so the right one depends on where you are staying. Newark is in New Jersey, JFK and La Guardia are in Queens, and the usual ways into Manhattan are rail, subway, bus, taxi or car service depending on the airport and time of day. An airport change across the New York area can take a long time, so avoid separate tickets that force you to switch airports. Allow time for immigration and baggage collection before you plan your onward journey.
