New York is five boroughs, and the one most trips are built around is Manhattan: Times Square, Central Park, Broadway and the ferry to the Statue of Liberty, with a subway that runs all night. Three airports serve it. LaGuardia is in northern Queens about six miles from Manhattan, JFK is on Jamaica Bay in Queens, and Newark is across the river in New Jersey, about twelve miles west.
Indianapolis has year-round nonstops to all three New York airports. On the January dates we read, American and Delta flew nonstop into LaGuardia and United flew nonstop into Newark, each for $319 round trip. The cheapest fares were Frontier connections through Atlanta or Orlando, from $155 for two days leaving December 6 into Newark, and Southwest through Chicago Midway into LaGuardia started at $265 on the same dates. The lowest round trip we’ve recorded on this route is $59, from February 2024.
