50–90%
off regular fares
New York has three major airports, dozens of airlines and more routes than almost anywhere in the world, which also means more fare sales and more mistakes. Flights from JFK, LaGuardia and Newark regularly go on sale, and the deepest discounts, including error fares, can be 50 to 90 percent below normal.
The catch is that the best deals disappear quickly. Instead of checking prices every day, TripDeals watches for you and sends an alert when airlines publish heavily discounted flights from your home airport.
Airports
Which New York airport should you fly from?
John F. Kennedy International (Queens, NY)
The main international gateway. Best for long-haul and transatlantic flights, with a huge range of foreign airlines plus big Delta and JetBlue operations. International error fares and sales often appear here first.
Newark Liberty International (New Jersey)
A major United hub with strong domestic and international coverage. Worth checking whenever JFK prices look high, especially for flights across the US and to Europe.
LaGuardia (Queens, NY)
The closest airport to Manhattan, used mostly for domestic and short-haul flights. Handy for weekend trips and quick hops, but not for long-haul.

Tips
5 tips for cheaper flights from New York
- 1Compare all three airports. A fare from Newark or JFK can be much cheaper than from LaGuardia, or the reverse, for the same destination.
- 2Be flexible by a day or two. Midweek flights are usually cheaper than Fridays and Sundays.
- 3Check the total cost, not just the fare. Add bags, seat fees and the cost of getting to the airport.
- 4Leave time for airport transfers. JFK and Newark both have AirTrain links to regional rail and subway connections; LaGuardia relies on buses and ground transport.
- 5Turn on deal alerts so you can book error fares within hours, before they are fixed.
