Airline and stopovers

Best time to visit
New York shines year-round, but winter (January to March) has real charm: fewer crowds, lower prices, and festive vibes if you go early in the year. Spring (April–May) and autumn (September–October) offer perfect weather, though prices rise. Summer is pricey and packed with tourists.
What to do when you arrive
New York awaits with Central Park, Times Square, the Met, and Manhattan's iconic skyline. Your airport (likely JFK, LaGuardia or Newark) connects easily to the city centre by subway or taxi. Walk through Brooklyn, explore the High Line, wander SoHo and Greenwich Village. Grab street pizza, sit in a classic diner, and soak up the energy of the city that never sleeps.
