Cheap Flight Deals from NYC

How to find cheap flights from New York

New York has three big airports, and that is the first trick. JFK, LaGuardia and Newark all fly to Florida, the Caribbean and the West Coast, and the cheapest seat is often from the airport you didn't think of. Every fare on this page comes from a search of all three at once.

Dates matter more than almost anything else. Tuesday and Wednesday departures are usually cheaper than Friday and Sunday, and the weeks right after the holidays, from early January through mid-February, are some of the lowest-priced weeks of the year to fly to Florida, Las Vegas or Los Angeles. Moving your trip by a day can change the price a lot.

Look at the whole price, not just the headline. Many of the cheapest fares are basic economy on airlines like Frontier, where a carry-on bag, a checked bag or picking your seat costs extra. A nonstop on JetBlue, United or American can end up close in price once bags are added, and it saves you hours of layovers.

One-way fares can be a good deal too. If the outbound is cheap on one airline and the return is cheap on another, two one-way tickets can beat a round trip. Just remember each ticket is separate, so a delay on one doesn't protect the other.

Hotels and rental cars

Once the flight is set, the hotel and the car are where most people overspend. Trip.com gives new members a coupon pack with money off hotels, homes and car rentals, and CheapOair has hotel coupon codes from time to time. For cars, Budget's Pay Now rate takes up to 35% off the base rate if you pay when you book. Each store page has its current codes, how to use them and the fine print, all checked on the store's own site.

Prices on this page were checked by us and can change at any time. Always check the final price, bag fees and the cancellation rules before you pay.
