Looking for cheap flights to New York? Fares to New York change constantly, but knowing when to book and which airport to use can save you a lot. Here's what to know.
Airports serving New York
Most travelers arrive at JFK, LaGuardia (LGA) and Newark (EWR).
Cheapest time to fly to New York
Fares are usually lowest in January to early March. The best weather is generally April to June and September to early November, when prices rise — book 2–4 months ahead if that's when you'll go.
Our top money-saving tip
Search all three airports together — Newark is often cheapest from the West and abroad.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday departures are often cheaper, and staying flexible by a day or two can cut the fare.
