Before you book
- South Florida has a second big airport, Fort Lauderdale (FLL), and New York has JFK and Newark as well as LaGuardia. Comparing all of them can change both the price and the airlines on offer.
- American raised checked bag fees for tickets bought from April 9, 2026. Prepaying online is cheaper than paying at the airport.
- Winter is peak season for New York to Florida travel, so northbound flights after the holidays and southbound flights before them fill first.
