That said, if you can brace the cold, this is when you’ll find the cheapest flights to New York. For pleasant temperatures and reasonable prices, try looking for flights in May, September or October.

How long is the flight from Birmingham to New York?
The length of the flight depends on the length of your stopover, but the fastest flight time from Birmingham to New York is about 10 hours.

How do I get into New York from JFK Airport?
It’s very easy to get into New York from John F Kennedy Airport. If you have several suitcases, it might be best to take a taxi – it’ll cost you at least £45. Alternatively, you could book a shuttle bus to take you straight to your hotel. If you want to save some cash, the AirTrain is a good option. It connects all JFK’s terminals to the Long Island Rail Road and the New York subway. If you catch the Long Island Rail Road, it’ll take you roughly 40 minutes to reach Pennsylvania Station – and a ticket costs around £17. For an even cheaper journey, take the ‘E’ train to Times Square or Penn Station. This train to Manhattan takes up to an hour, but it’ll cost you less than a tenner.

How do I get into New York from Newark Airport?
Newark Airport is actually in New Jersey, not New York. And, owing to the distance, taxis and shuttle buses are rather expensive. If you can, it’s cheaper to get the train. A ticket is about £10 and it’ll take no more than 45 minutes. Trains run all day, except between 2am and 5am – worth remembering if you’re landing early in the morning. Outside of these hours, you just need to catch the AirTrain to Newark Airport train station, then take a New Jersey Transit train to Penn Station in Manhattan.

How do I get into New York from La Guardia Airport?
La Guardia is just eight miles from central Manhattan, making it the nearest airport to New York. Even so, a cab ride still costs at least £40. Shuttle transfers can be a cheaper option, but prices vary depending on your hotel location and group size. For the cheapest option, get the bus. It’s only about £5 a ticket but the journey lasts about an hour. From La Guardia terminal, you’ll just need to take the bus to Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Ave station, and then catch the subway towards your hotel.

What are the top things to do in New York?
Naturally, The City That Never Sleeps has an endless list of things to do. Admire the city’s iconic skyline from the top of the Empire State Building, stroll over Brooklyn Bridge, and take the ferry to the Statue of Liberty. There are plenty of interesting museums in New York, too – historic Ellis Island and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) are both certainly worth a visit. Elsewhere, you can treat yourself on Fifth Avenue, or escape the crowds with a leisurely walk around Central Park.

Do I need a visa to travel to New York?
If you’re travelling on a British passport, you don’t need a visa to go to America – you just need an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorisation). You can apply online and, once you’ve received your confirmation, you’ll be able to visit the USA for up to 90 days.
