Be Flexible on Dates Flying Tuesday or Wednesday is usually cheaper. Avoid the exact match day if possible.

Compare Nearby Airports New York has 3 airports (JFK, EWR, LGA). The alternate airport can be significantly cheaper.

Track Prices Use Google Flights or Skyscanner and set up price alerts for your route.

Use Travel Points Joining frequent flyer programs can earn you free or discounted tickets over time.
