Flights to New York
Flights to New York are often easy to purchase because of its major airports. For large corporations it is a convenient location to hold meetings because employees can fly in directly from overseas. For vacations there is no shortage of activities. The guide below provides some basic information about the state's three largest airports and activities to do once you have arrived.
New York Airport Information
- In 2017 John F. Kennedy International Airport handled an average of 1223 flights per day. Some of the non-stop flights arriving to New York City include:
- Miami - 3 hours 5 min
- Los Angeles - 5 hours 30 min
- Seattle - 5 hours 25 min
- Chicago - 2 hours 15 min
If your final destination is New York City than there is Central Park, Times Square, the Staten Island Ferry, the Brooklyn Bridge, and more. At night you can catch a show on Broadway. However, if you are just on a layover after one of your flights to New York and need to stay close to the airport you can enjoy nature by visiting the Queens Botanical Gardens or the nearby Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge.
- On average there are 1017 flights in and out of LaGuardia Airport each day. Travel time to LaGuardia is as follows:
- Miami - 3 hours 5 min
- Los Angeles - 7+ hours (no non-stop flights available)
- Seattle - 7+ hours (no non-stop flights available)
- Chicago - 2 hours 10 min
LaGuardia Airport, like JFK International Airport, is located in Queens. It is a smaller airport that only handles domestic flights to New York but it is the closest to the city out of all three nearby airports, which makes it appealing to those who aren't renting a car.
- Each day there are an average of 100 flights to and from Buffalo. It is harder to find non-stop flights from major U.S. cities because several stop in JFK International Airport first. Flight times to the following destinations are:
- Miami - 4 hours 30 min+ (no non-stop flights available)
- Los Angeles - 4 hours 50 min
- Seattle - 6+ hours (no non-stop flights available)
- Chicago - 2 hours
Probably one of the biggest attractions in Buffalo is Niagara Falls, which are three waterfalls that are famously right on the border between Canada and the United States. After visiting Niagara Falls State Park we recommend you walk through the Buffalo Zoo and see the The Albright-Knox Art Gallery.
