It's a hub for all things to do with art, culture, diversity and food; it's safe to say there is something for everyone in New York. The best times to visit New York are April to June and November to December - it doesn't get too hot or too cold and is enjoyable all year round.

Why book one-way flights

There are many reasons why travellers book one-way tickets instead of round-trip tickets:

Cheaper Flights

To save money, many travellers book two separate one-way tickets instead of a return ticket as these tend to be cheaper. Round-trip flights can often be expensive depending on the airline you're flying with and the destinations you're flying to.

Greater Flexibility

Booking a one-way ticket means you can fly back home whenever you wish! You can be super flexible with a one-way ticket and spend as long as you need wherever you're flying to, but when you feel like you want to return home or back to where you first departed, all you need to do is book a one-way ticket back! Spend days, weeks or even months in your holiday destination with a one-way flight!

Relocation

One-way tickets are perfect for those looking to permanently relocate to another city or country. Moving abroad can be stressful and you might not know whether you need to return back to your original departure city or not to tie up any loose ends. Return tickets are very restrictive in this context whereas with one-way flights you can fly back on any day of your choice, especially if it's a last-minute booking!

Some of the most popular plans we offer include Afterpay, Klarna, and Affirm, among several others. These plans let you split the cost of your ticket up into instalments that can be paid back over a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis (depending on the plan you've chosen).

Are one-way flights to New York expensive?

One-way tickets to ANY destination can be both cheap or expensive, but it mostly depends on the airline you choose to fly with. If you're aiming to book cheap one-way flights to New York, we suggest flying with low-cost airlines such as JetBlue, Spirit Airlines, Allegiant Air, Sun Country Airlines, Eurowings and Volaris. One-way tickets are often expensive if you're flying a route to New York that isn't regularly operated (e.g. from Auckland or Lomé. Booking two separate one-way flight bookings can sometimes be cheaper than booking a single return ticket.

What is the difference between one-way and round-trip flights?

One-way flights let you fly from one destination to another without a return flight being booked. A round-trip flight, also known as a return flight, is when you fly from one destination to another and return back to your original departure city at a later date (e.g., flying from Mexico City to New York and flying back from New York to Mexico City a week later).

Do I need a visa for one-way flights to New York?

This depends entirely on where you're travelling from and how long you plan to stay in New York, USA. Travel visas are official documents that let a foreign traveller visit and stay in a particular country for a set amount of time. Foreign travellers from certain countries can stay in the USA for tourism or business without a travel visa for up to 90 days thanks to the Visa Waiver Program.

Please read our guide on travel visas if you are looking to relocate to New York or stay for a long period of time. We also recommend carrying out your own research on visa requirements that you'll need to follow.
