Questions about Thanksgiving flights from New York

What's the cheapest place to fly from New York for Thanksgiving?

Of the fares travelers found recently, the cheapest round trips with a carry-on are Buffalo ($164, Tue, Nov 24 to Sun, Nov 29), Tampa ($182, Tue, Nov 24 to Fri, Nov 27) and San José, Costa Rica ($206, Thu, Nov 26 to Wed, Dec 2).

What day should I fly for Thanksgiving?

Of the cheapest trips found from New York, more leave on Tuesday, November 24 than any other day. Flexible? Check live prices a day or two either side: around the holidays, one day can change the price a lot.

Do these prices include bags?

They include a carry-on both ways, using our estimate of each airline's fee. A checked bag usually costs extra, even on long flights abroad on the cheapest fares, though some airlines like Emirates include one.

How these prices work

These are real round-trip fares that travelers found on Aviasales recently, not a live search, so they can change or sell out. Dipt adds an estimate of each airline's carry-on fee, so a cheap fare with expensive bags doesn't look cheaper than it is. "Live price" opens Dipt's live flight search for those dates, where you book with the airline or travel site you pick. Dipt may earn a commission when you book, at no extra cost to you (how Dipt makes money).
