Flight Deals from New York City to Cincinnati from $125

The flight from New York City to Cincinnati is about 588 miles. Nonstop flights typically take 2 hours and 16 minutes, while the return leg back to New York is slightly faster at 1 hour and 57 minutes.

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.

Yes, there are direct non-stop flights from New York City to Cincinnati. Delta, United, and American are the carriers currently scheduled non-stop, with Delta flying up to 72 weekly flights across LaGuardia, JFK, and Newark, United 27 from Newark, American 14 from JFK, and Allegiant 2 from Newark on Mondays and Fridays only. All of these run daily except Allegiant, which operates just two days a week.

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.

Getting from CVG to downtown Cincinnati is straightforward: taxi or rideshare is the fastest at roughly 17 minutes, while the TANK Bus Route 2X is the budget-friendly and most-used option, taking about 24 minutes and running every 30 minutes.

Taxis and rideshares pick up at Ground Transport East, with rideshare in Zone 1 and taxis in Zone 2. The airport sits about 13 miles south of downtown, so driving yourself is also a quick option.

Fares from New York City to Cincinnati are lowest in late January, around $258. January is the cheapest month overall, averaging $264, followed by February ($271) and March ($293). December is the most expensive month at about $341, and fares peak in late December at about $356. The yearly average is $312. 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.

Book about 6 weeks before departure for the best fares from New York City to Cincinnati, around $252. Booking in the final days before the flight costs about $310, $58 more. Booking six months ahead runs about $375. Fares are adjusted to current market conditions.

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.

No overnight or red-eye flights operate from New York City to Cincinnati — there are no nonstop red-eyes on this route, and no connecting itinerary has an overnight long leg either.

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.

Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, American Airlines, and Allegiant Air currently operate nonstop flights from New York City to Cincinnati. Delta is the most frequent, with 38 weekly flights from LaGuardia, 21 from JFK, and 13 from Newark, all operated by Endeavor Air under the Delta brand. United flies 27 weekly flights from Newark, operated by Republic Airways, while American offers 14 weekly flights from JFK, also operated by Republic. Allegiant Air serves the route just twice a week, on Mondays and Fridays, from Newark. These flights are daily except Allegiant's twice-weekly service.

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.

American Airlines' Embraer E175 flights from JFK are the most reliable on this route, arriving on time 85.6% of the time with a cancellation rate under 1%. United's Newark service follows at 84.9% on-time with a 7% cancellation rate, while Delta's LaGuardia flights arrive on time 71% with a 1.1% 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).

American Airlines flies the most nonstop flights from New York to Cincinnati, using the Embraer E175. Delta Air Lines also operates frequent service with the Bombardier CRJ-900, while United Airlines uses the Embraer E175 and Allegiant Air flies the Airbus A320 on select days.

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.

Delta Air Lines (SkyTeam), United Airlines (Star Alliance), and American Airlines (oneworld) are the airlines currently scheduled nonstop from New York City to Cincinnati, with Delta's and United's flights operated by regional partners Endeavor Air and Republic Airways under their brands. Allegiant Air also flies the route twice weekly and belongs to no alliance, as does JetBlue-style independent service. Other alliances may still reach Cincinnati via connections.
