One of the most cosmopolitan and vibrant cities in the world, New York makes a fantastic destination throughout the year.
Thanks to the city’s reputation as a shopping mecca, the months leading up to the festive period are always busy and flights can be more expensive in November and December.
During the summer months, flights to New York can be busy with families taking advantage of the holidays to travel to the Big Apple. However, with temperatures in the city regularly reaching 30˚C, staying cool in July and August can be a challenge. If you want to spend your days walking around the city streets and taking in the sights, the mild spring and autumn months could be the perfect time plan your trip.
January and February are generally the quietest months in the Big Apple. Although they’re also pretty chilly – the average high at this time of year is just 5˚C – the lack of crowds can make it easier to hunt for great deals in your favourite malls and find tickets for shows and sports games.
In general, the more expensive times to fly are November and December and the summer months. However, if you search for flights on Expedia and are flexible with your dates, times and airlines, you’ll be able to find cheap flights to NYC throughout the year.

New York’s famous taxis can be found on every street corner so you’ll never have to walk far if you don’t want to.

New York is home to a large number of world-famous attractions, so if you’re interested in sightseeing there’s plenty to take in.
To explore Central Park, take the subway to 72nd Street Station or any of the other stations adjacent to the park and get out and enjoy the open space.

From Central Park you can either jump on the subway or walk down 5th Avenue to the Empire State Building. After taking in the views from the observation deck, continue on to Greenwich Village, Lower Manhattan and the city’s financial centre.
