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 New York City to Santa Cruz de la Sierra 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 New York City to Santa Cruz de la Sierra.

What is the typical flight duration from New York City to Santa Cruz de la Sierra?

The route from New York City to Santa Cruz de la Sierra is about 4,085 miles. There is no scheduled nonstop service on this route, so the flight requires a connection.
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 New York City to Santa Cruz de la Sierra?

There are no non-stop flights from New York City to Santa Cruz de la Sierra. The shortest routing is a one-stop itinerary on Avianca via Bogotá, taking 10 hours 55 minutes total with a 5-hour 55-minute first leg, a 4-hour second leg, and a 1-hour layover. Copa Airlines offers the next-quickest option via Panama City at 12 hours 44 minutes.
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 Santa Cruz de la Sierra?

Santa Cruz de la Sierra is served by Viru Viru International Airport (VVI), about 17 km from the city center, and a taxi is the fastest and most efficient way to reach downtown, taking roughly 25–30 minutes for about 70 BOB. Public bus line 135 runs from directly in front of the terminal every 20 minutes between 05:00 and 22:00, reaching the old bus terminal near Mercado La Ramada in about 45 minutes for just 6 BOB, with a stop 750 meters from Plaza 24 de Septiembre after about 35 minutes. Minibuses and shared taxis called trufis also serve different parts of the city, and the ride-hailing app InDriver is available, with Uber offering airport pickup as well. Taxis are the most used option for visitors because of their speed and door-to-door convenience, while the bus remains the cheapest choice for budget travelers.

When is the cheapest time to fly from New York City to Santa Cruz de la Sierra?

Fares from New York City to Santa Cruz de la Sierra are lowest in late September, around $843. September is the cheapest month overall, averaging $861, followed by October ($882) and February ($908). December is the most expensive month at about $1,084, and fares peak in late December at about $1,155. The yearly average is $962. 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 New York City to Santa Cruz de la Sierra?

Book about 5 weeks before departure for the best fares from New York City to Santa Cruz de la Sierra, around $743. Booking in the final days before the flight costs about $866, $123 more. Booking six months ahead runs about $1,016. 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.

Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from New York City to Santa Cruz de la Sierra?

Overnight red-eye connections are available from New York City to Santa Cruz de la Sierra, though there is no nonstop red-eye. Copa departs JFK at 02:20 and arrives in Panama City at 06:32 before connecting onward, while Avianca departs at 01:30 arriving Bogotá at 06:15, American departs at 20:40 arriving São Paulo at 07:15, and LATAM departs at 23:59 arriving Lima at 06:55.
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 New York City to Santa Cruz de la Sierra?

There is no nonstop service between New York City and Santa Cruz de la Sierra, so travelers connect through hubs like Bogotá on Avianca (the quickest option, around 10h 55m total), Panama City on Copa Airlines, or São Paulo on American Airlines with Gol. Avianca and Copa operate the most frequent one-stop patterns, with daily service counts of roughly four to six flights. United also offers a routing via Panama City, though with a longer layover. No per-carrier fares are provided for this route, so I won't quote prices.
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.

Which airport should I use in Santa Cruz de la Sierra?

Santa Cruz de la Sierra has one main commercial airport, Viru Viru International Airport (VVI), located about 15 km north of downtown. It serves as the primary gateway for international and domestic flights, with connections to major Bolivian cities and regional hubs.

How do I get to New York John F. Kennedy International Airport from the city center?

Getting to JFK from the city center is easiest via public transportation, with the AirTrain connecting from Jamaica Station on the Long Island Rail Road or from Howard Beach on the A subway line, and the combined fare is relatively inexpensive. Yellow taxis charge a flat rate from Manhattan, making them the most popular choice for door-to-door service, while ride-share apps like Uber offer a similar convenience at a slightly lower cost. Driving and parking at the airport is also possible, though it tends to be the least cost-effective option for longer trips. The AirTrain and subway combination is generally the fastest during peak traffic hours, while a taxi or ride-share is quickest late at night.

What aircraft are typically used on flights from New York City to Santa Cruz de la Sierra?

There is no nonstop service from New York City to Santa Cruz de la Sierra. Connecting itineraries are available, with Copa Airlines operating the most flights via Panama City on Boeing 737-800 or 737-900 aircraft, and Avianca via Bogotá using Airbus A320neo or Boeing 787-8. Other options include American Airlines via São Paulo on a Boeing 787-9, LATAM via Lima on a Boeing 767-300, and United connecting via Panama City on a Boeing 737 MAX 9.
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 New York City to Santa Cruz de la Sierra?

Flights from New York City to Santa Cruz de la Sierra connect rather than run non-stop, and the alliances serving the route are Star Alliance (via Avianca, Copa Airlines, and United Airlines) and oneworld (via American Airlines). LATAM Airlines operates the route as well but belongs to no alliance, and Gol Transportes Aéreos, which flies the São Paulo connection on the American itinerary, is also not an alliance member. Other alliances may reach Santa Cruz via connections, but these are the carriers currently scheduled on the route.
