Tips for Cheap New York to Athens Flights

1October offers perfect weather (70-75°F), fewer tourists, and fares $200-300 cheaper than peak summer. The sea is still warm enough for swimming through mid-October.
2Book connecting flights through Europe rather than paying premium for the few direct options. Routes via Rome, Paris, or Frankfurt often cost $150-250 less than nonstops.
3The Athens Metro (Blue Line) connects the airport to Syntagma Square in 40 minutes for €10. Runs every 30 minutes and operates until midnight (taxis cost €40-55).
4Delta's seasonal nonstop from JFK (May-October) is worth the slight premium over connections. You save 3-5 hours of travel time and avoid the hassle of European transfers.
5Wednesday departures from New York consistently price $100-150 lower than weekend flights. Consider taking a half-day off work to access these better midweek rates.

💡Savings tip: Book 6-8 weeks ahead for the best New York to Athens fares. Flexibility with dates can save you 20-30%.
