There’s nothing quite like New York City in the winter — or any time of year for that matter, but I digress. The point is you can fly to New York for nearly all of 2022 (yes, you read that correctly) from a variety of U.S. cities for less than $200 round-trip, and from some cities for less than $100.

Sample flights
All of the flights under $100 to New York depart from the South, including:
- Atlanta (ATL), starting at $77, nonstop.
- Miami (MIA), starting at $79, nonstop.
- Charleston, South Carolina (CHS)/Dallas (DFW)/Fort Lauderdale (FLL)/Jacksonville, Florida (JAX)/Sarasota, Florida (SRQ)/Tampa (TPA)/Savannah, Georgia (SAV), starting at $96, nonstop.
Let’s start with this nonstop flight in January from Atlanta to EWR for $77 on Delta.

This is in Delta’s basic economy class, so although you won’t get to choose your seat, you will be able to carry on a bag, so expect to pay just $77. Otherwise, consider upgrading to their main cabin for seat selection and the flexibility to change your flight if need be.
Since Miami-New York is a popular route for travelers based in both cities, let’s try this nonstop round-trip fare for $79 from MIA to EWR for $79 on American.
This flight is in AA’s main cabin, which includes seat selection and one carry-on.
It’s important to note that these fares work in reverse, so New York City-area travelers can also take advantage of this deal by swapping your origin and destination cities, as shown below with this JFK-CHS nonstop fare for $97 on Delta.
