Cheap flights to New York
Cheap flights to New York land at three airports, so the fare you see depends on where you fly from and who you fly with. People come for the museums, the theatre district, the food and the neighbourhoods that change character every few blocks. Late spring and autumn are the calmest stretches, while the summer months and the run-up to the winter holidays fill planes fastest.
Flights to New York — where from
Airports — New York
Three airports serve the city: John F Kennedy, Newark Liberty International and La Guardia. Most international arrivals use JFK or Newark, while La Guardia takes a large share of domestic traffic. JFK and Newark both have rail links into Manhattan, plus shuttle buses, taxis and rideshares. La Guardia sits closest to midtown and is reached by bus, taxi or rideshare. Aer Lingus, American Airlines, British Airways, Finnair, Iberia and Icelandair all fly in, so nonstop and one-stop options sit side by side.
When to go
Late spring and early autumn bring mild weather and thinner crowds, and that is when fares tend to ease. Summer is hot and humid and also the busiest stretch, with school holidays pushing demand up. From late November through the New Year the city fills again, and seats on flights from Warsaw, Bucharest, Madrid, London, Paris, Rome and Frankfurt go early. January and February are cold, with snow possible, but planes are quieter.
