It’s time for New York City! There have never been so many choices of airlines to reach LaGuardia, JFK, or Newark airports. The hype is real — this place never sleeps. You won’t see it all in one trip, but this is a great time to plan a quickie getaway or one that leaves you time enough to explore the neighborhoods in at least a few of the five boroughs.
One-way rates of $26 to $52 are offered from Atlanta on April 6 through June 21. Then prices are $79 to $99 each way all the way through February 15 — including peak dates over Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s holidays.
