Cheap flights from Rzeszow to New York

March is the cheapest month on this route, so if your plans are flexible, price late winter first. Spring and autumn sit in the middle, while summer and the run-up to Christmas are the priciest, and fares climb fastest around Thanksgiving and New Year. Midweek departures on a Tuesday or Wednesday usually cost less than Friday or Sunday flights, and very early or late departures often undercut the middle of the day. Book several months ahead for summer and the holidays; for March, a few weeks out is often enough.

The route is served non-stop, and it also comes together easily through European hubs. Wizz Air Malta is the low-cost name here, so expect a bare fare with cabin baggage only unless you add a checked bag and a seat. Full-service carriers such as LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Lufthansa Cityline, Austrian, Scandinavian Airlines, TAP Portugal, Air Canada, United Airlines and Delta Air Lines usually sell connections through their own hubs, with checked baggage and meals on the longer legs, though the lightest fares strip some of that back. If you want one ticket for the whole journey, book the connection as a single itinerary.

New York has three airports and your ticket decides which one you land at. John F Kennedy sits in Queens, Newark Liberty International is across the Hudson in New Jersey, and La Guardia is the closest to Manhattan. All three connect to the city by train, bus, taxi or rideshare; from Newark and Kennedy the rail link drops you at a major Midtown station, while La Guardia leans on buses and road transport. Check the airport on your booking before you arrange a pickup, allow time for traffic at peak hours, and remember that a late arrival means thinner transport options.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which New York airport your fare uses, since Newark, Kennedy and La Guardia are all on the table.
• Look at the baggage rules on a low-cost ticket before you compare it with a full-service fare.
• If your trip runs on two separate tickets, leave a long buffer in case the first flight is delayed.
• Confirm your passport and travel authorisation for the United States are valid before you pay.
• If your dates are open, price the same trip in March against your preferred month.
• Decide whether you want a non-stop or a cheaper connection through a European hub.
