Tips for Cheap New York to Boston Flights
1Take the train instead for similar prices. Amtrak's Acela from Penn Station to Boston takes 3.5 hours and costs $99-200, comparable to flying once you factor in airport time. No security lines, free WiFi, and you arrive downtown.
2Book super early flights for business fares. The 6am JFK or LaGuardia shuttles to Boston are packed with business travelers but often cheaper than midday leisure flights. Land by 7:30am with a full day ahead for meetings or sightseeing.
3Skip checked bags on this route. It's a 1.5 hour flight where half the time is taxiing and climbing. Bring a carry-on and personal item to avoid $35+ bag fees that make the train more appealing.
4Delta and JetBlue dominate this corridor. Both airlines run hourly shuttles with flexible same-day changes. JetBlue offers more legroom and free WiFi, while Delta has more SkyMiles award availability for frequent travelers.
5Avoid flying during Boston Marathon week. Mid-April sees hotels, rental cars, and flights surge 50-100% as runners and spectators flood the city. Fly the week before or after for normal $150-200 fares instead of $400+.
💡Savings tip: Book 6-8 weeks ahead for the best New York to Boston fares. Flexibility with dates can save you 20-30%.
