Methodology: learn how we calculate these figures

The best day to fly and how far ahead to book shown in this table are built from the prices Priceline customers actually paid for flights to this destination over the past 12 months or more.

Where a route has too few bookings to fill a figure, we borrow the shape from a group of routes with similar price behavior and fit it to the fares booked on that route.

Because past fares don’t reflect today’s market, we then adjust the historical prices for current conditions such as inflation and fuel costs, using the round-trip fares found in recent searches.

The cheapest round-trip and one-way fares, the good-deal price and the best time of day to fly come directly from the fares found in recent searches, not from historical bookings.

Atlanta and Orlando are the cheapest U.S. origins for flying to New York City, with typical round-trip fares of $130 and $159 respectively. Tampa ($162), Nashville ($179), Dallas ($200), and Fort Lauderdale ($213) follow closely behind. Roughly 54 U.S. cities offer service to New York City.

Methodology

Methodology
Airlines are the operating carriers scheduled on nonstop services from each U.S. departure city, taken from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI).

When is the cheapest time to fly to New York City?

The cheapest months to fly to New York City from the United States are January and February, with the very lowest fares in late January, and March also comes in below the yearly average by 4%. The priciest months are December and June, with December running 12% above the yearly average and late December being the single most expensive period. These figures come from the busiest city pairs, including Chicago, Atlanta, Boston, and Los Angeles.
Methodology
These seasonal fares look at the busiest city-to-city routes between the two places (up to four, chosen by scheduled flights) and at the seasonal fare curve Priceline's own archive provides for each route. Months are ranked by how far each month's average fare sits above or below that route's yearly average, taking the middle value across the routes, so one expensive route cannot dominate.

How far in advance should I book flights to New York City?

For flights from the United States to New York City, fares are typically lowest when booked about 6 weeks before departure. That said, holidays and peak travel periods tend to sell out earlier, so booking further ahead for those dates is wise.
Methodology
These fares come from a large sample of the real airfares Priceline shoppers found for flights from U.S. departure cities to this destination, grouped by origin city, day of the week, time of day and how far ahead the trip was booked. Prices are round trip in U.S. dollars unless noted and are refreshed regularly.

Are overnight or red eye flights available to New York City?

Red-eye flights from the United States to New York City are available from several major gateways, including Atlanta, Los Angeles, Miami, San Francisco, Fort Lauderdale, and Denver. Many of the busiest nonstop gateways, such as Chicago, Boston, Washington, Orlando, and Dallas, do not offer red-eye service to New York City.
Methodology
Red-eye availability is flagged from the scheduled local departure and arrival times in our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI), counting a flight as a red-eye when it departs at 3 p.m. or later local time or before 4 a.m., and is in the air at some point between midnight and 4 a.m. local time at both its departure and arrival airports; an evening flight that lands before midnight at its destination is never counted.

What time of day is usually cheapest for flights to New York City?

Afternoon departures tend to be the cheapest time of day for flights to New York City, with typical round-trip fares around $364 compared to an overall average of about $394. That makes afternoon slightly better than other departure windows, though prices still vary by carrier and travel date. Fares are adjusted to current market conditions.
