Methodology: learn how we calculate these charts

The charts “When is the cheapest time to fly?”, “How far in advance should I book?”, “What's the cheapest day of the week to fly?” and “What do round-trip flights from Memphis to New York City cost?” are built from the prices Priceline customers actually paid for flights on this route over the past 12 months or more.

Where a route has too few bookings to fill every point in a chart, we borrow the shape of the curve from a group of routes with similar price behavior and fit it to the fares booked on this route.

Because past fares don’t reflect today’s market, we then adjust the historical prices for current conditions such as inflation and fuel costs, using the round-trip fares found in recent searches on this route.

The chart “When is the best time of day to fly?” is calculated directly from the fares found in recent searches, not from historical bookings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about flying from Memphis to New York City.

What is the typical flight duration from Memphis to New York City?

Flights from Memphis to New York City cover about 945 miles. The typical nonstop flight takes 2 hours 45 minutes eastbound, while the return to Memphis takes 3 hours 3 minutes — the westbound leg is slightly longer due to prevailing winds.
Methodology
Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.

Are there any direct flights from Memphis to New York City?

Yes, Memphis has direct nonstop service to New York City. American Airlines and Delta Air Lines (flights operated by Republic Airways) fly nonstop to LaGuardia, with up to 27 weekly flights, and United Airlines (also operated by Republic) flies nonstop to Newark with 14 weekly flights. All of these run daily, except one additional Delta service to LaGuardia operated by Endeavor Air that flies Monday through Friday only.
Methodology
Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

What are the ground transportation options in New York City?

LaGuardia Airport (LGA) has no direct rail link, so the fastest and most-used options from the airport to Manhattan are yellow taxis and rideshares like Uber and Lyft, with a taxi to Times Square taking about 20 minutes and costing $30–52 plus fees. The Q70 LGA Link bus is a free, frequent express to the Jackson Heights–Roosevelt Avenue subway hub, where you can transfer to the 7, E, F, M, or R lines; the Q70 plus subway reaches Midtown in roughly 47–57 minutes for $2.75–3. MTA local buses like the M60 and Q72 provide cheaper but slower connections, and car rentals are available at the airport, though driving into Manhattan is rarely the best choice.

When is the cheapest time to fly from Memphis to New York City?

Fares from Memphis to New York City are lowest in late January, around $397. January is the cheapest month overall, averaging $413, followed by February ($428) and March ($458). December is the most expensive month at about $538, and fares peak in late December at about $565. The yearly average is $469. Fares are adjusted to current market conditions.
Methodology
Seasonal fares come from Priceline's own air booking-summary archive, analysed in-house and refreshed monthly. For each day of the year we take a representative round-trip fare, a blend of the 25th-percentile and average ticket price over the route's bookings, and smooth the series into a seasonal curve; the half-month low and high and the monthly figures quoted here are averages of that curve. Thin and international routes borrow their seasonal shape from the nearest busy routes, with the price level anchored to the route's own bookings.

How far in advance should I book tickets from Memphis to New York City?

For Memphis to New York City, the best fares come when you book roughly 4 to 6 weeks ahead, with the absolute sweet spot landing around 30 to 35 days before departure. Prices stay fairly flat in that window, but booking much earlier than about 85 days out or waiting until the last two weeks starts to push fares noticeably higher.
Methodology
Booking-window guidance comes from the same monthly in-house analysis of Priceline's own air booking-summary archive. We aggregate the route's bookings by how many days before departure they were made, from about 180 days out to the day of travel, smooth the curve, and highlight the stretch of lead times with the lowest average fare. Thin and international routes borrow the curve shape from the nearest busy routes, anchored to the route's own price level. It reflects current fares and is refreshed monthly.

Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Memphis to New York City?

No overnight or red-eye flights operate from Memphis to New York City — there are no nonstop red-eyes, and no connecting itinerary on this route has an overnight long leg. Travelers looking for an overnight option would need to build one themselves, but as scheduled, none runs on this route.
Methodology
Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times and block times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes. A flight counts as a red-eye when it departs in the afternoon or evening (3 p.m. or later local time) or in the early hours before 4 a.m., and is in the air at some point between midnight and 4 a.m. local time at both its departure airport and its arrival airport. An evening flight that lands before midnight at its destination is never counted, nor is a morning departure or a daytime long-haul that reaches the next calendar date only because of time zones. Each red-eye is labelled with its timing (for example, overnight and landing the next morning, or late-night and landing after midnight). For connecting itineraries the same rule is applied to the longer leg, from one representative day's flight search.

Which airlines usually operate this route from Memphis to New York City?

From Memphis to New York City, American Airlines and Delta Air Lines operate nonstop flights to LaGuardia, with American offering the most frequency at 27 weekly flights and Delta adding another 5 on weekdays, both operated by Republic Airways and Endeavor Air respectively. United Airlines also flies nonstop to Newark with 14 weekly flights, operated by Republic Airways. All three carriers fly daily except for Delta's Endeavor-operated service, which runs Monday through Friday only.
Methodology
Airlines and weekly frequencies come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a typical fare is shown for a carrier, it is the median of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

How reliable are on‑time arrivals on this route from Memphis to New York City?

Flights from Memphis to New York City are generally quite dependable, with the most reliable service touching down on time 80.4% of the time and cancelled just 2.8% of the time. Flights to Newark follow closely at 76.4% on-time arrivals with a 5.2% cancellation rate.
Methodology
On-time arrival and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, which covers U.S. domestic routes only; a flight counts as on time when it arrives within 15 minutes of schedule. Carriers are ranked by arrival on-time rate on this route, and the carrier list itself comes from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI).

Which airport should I use in New York City?

JFK is the main international gateway and has the most flights to Memphis, while LaGuardia is closer to Midtown and better for domestic business travel. Newark is also an option but is in New Jersey and farther from Manhattan.

How do I get to Memphis Intl Airport from the city center?

Memphis International Airport sits about seven miles southeast of downtown, and getting there from the city center is straightforward. The Memphis Area Transit Authority (MATA) runs public bus Route 28 from the William Hudson Transit Center downtown directly to the airport, offering the most budget-friendly option. Taxis, ride-share services like Uber and Lyft, and many hotel shuttles all pick up and drop off at the terminal's designated Ground Transportation Center, with ride-share and taxis being the most popular and fastest door-to-door choices for most travelers. If you drive yourself, on-site long-term and short-term parking is available, though parking adds the cost of daily fees compared to public transit.

What aircraft are typically used on flights from Memphis to New York City?

United Express, operated by Republic Airways, flies nonstop from Memphis to Newark with Embraer E175 aircraft. American Eagle and Delta Connection, also operated by Republic Airways, use Embraer E175s and Embraer E-Jet family jets from Memphis to LaGuardia, while Delta Connection's Endeavor Air flights use Bombardier CRJ-900 aircraft on the same route.
Methodology
Aircraft types come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.

Which airline alliances serve flights from Memphis to New York City?

All three major global alliances are represented on this route.
Methodology
