I’m trying to get a plane ticket to nyc

Posted by No-Lab5951@reddit | Shoestring | View on Reddit | 14 comments

I’m leaving on the 10th, but I can’t pay for it until the 7ths, every day I look at prices it goes up, dose anyone have any coupons or anything?

Frontier has some pretty darn cheap flights for ATL-JFK/EWR/LGA, but the key is to be flexible. If you have to leave on the 10th and have no flexibility whatsoever, you might be out of luck.

You also need to book way earlier. Last time I checked a month ahead prices were only $30 or $40.

For what it’s worth I heard there used to be cheap-ish buses leaving out of Chamblee/Buford Highway/Chinatown, but I’m having trouble finding info now. One way on those is around $100.

Prices tend to be least expensive two or three months out. The closer you are to the departure date, thé more expensive airfares get. 😔

No. Can you borrow money from a friend or family?

I might have too tbh, but asking for anything more than 20$ is a little daunting

Use a vpn when you check the prices. Change your location each time you check the price. Supposedly this is supposed to help you keep rates low because the websites increase the price each time you check, supposedly.

you want to fly into nyc while the us government is shutdown? The tsa agents aren't getting paid and the security lines go for miles.

I dont think you'll have much luck for jfk or lga, thats like the belly of the beast.

Maybe new jersey?

I kinda forgot about that tbh, as long as I can get to the general area I can take busses and stuff
