Best time to fly to New York

The best time to visit New York is between April and June when the weather gets better and crowds dip before the summer.

If you don’t mind the cold, November or December is also a great time to visit as everything gets festive for Thanksgiving and Christmas – you might even see some snow!

With plenty to see and do throughout the year, there’s really no bad time to visit the City That Never Sleeps.

Whether you want to book flights to New York from England, Scotland or the rest of Europe, you can find great packages on return trips to New York, John F. Kennedy Airport, with Icelandair.

Getting around New York

Thanks to its layout, New York is a pretty walkable city. It also has an excellent public transport system with buses, trains, and the iconic subway system.

Riding the subway is a great way to explore the five boroughs - the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island - and feel like a local as you do it. Just purchase a MetroCard to get started.

The Staten Island ferry is another iconic mode of transport in New York. The trip takes about 25 minutes and is completely free. From the boat, you can enjoy views of the Manhattan skyline, New York harbor, and the Statue of Liberty.

Before you take in the bright lights of the big city, how about exploring a cooler capital? Take advantage of our Iceland and New York package and add a stopover in Iceland at no additional airfare, breaking up the flying time and leveling up your adventure.

Things to do in New York

When it comes to things to do in New York, you’ll be spoilt for choice. This big, buzzing city will leave you dizzy with its sheer energy and diversity - New York doesn't just have everything, it is everything, all at once and in your face.

New York is a city that looms large in creative dreams and on screens big and small. It's been a muse for so many artists, writers, movie-makers, and musicians, many of whom have left their mark on the Big Apple.

Visit Central Park to discover the setting of iconic scenes in such films as Harry Met Sally and Home Alone 2. There you can also visit the Central Park Zoo and take in the striking Bethesda Fountain.

If you want to get up close to the homegrown culture, we recommend watching a baseball game at one of the city’s stadiums, seeing a Broadway show, or visiting one of the many incredible museums such as the Guggenheim or the Met.

For a dose of more recent history, you can visit the National 9/11 Memorial and Museum to pay tribute to the lives lost during the 9/11 terrorist attack - an event that continues to impact the entire international community.
