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 St. Louis 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 St. Louis to New York City.

What is the typical flight duration from St. Louis to New York City?

The flight from St. Louis to New York City is about 870 miles, and the typical nonstop flight takes about 2 hours 25 minutes outbound. The return leg runs longer, about 2 hours 48 minutes, because prevailing winds make the westbound direction slower.
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 St. Louis to New York City?

St. Louis to New York City has plenty of direct service, led by Southwest with 28 weekly flights to LaGuardia, followed by Delta with 25 and American with 18, all of which run daily. United adds service into Newark with 21 weekly flights split between its own mainline and Republic Airways-operated flights, also daily. Every carrier on the route operates non-stop flights seven 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.

What are the ground transportation options in New York City?

LaGuardia Airport offers several ground transportation options into New York City, including yellow taxis, rideshares like Uber and Lyft, and MTA buses that connect to the subway and commuter rail. The Q70 LGA Link bus is free and the fastest public transit option, linking directly to subway hubs, while the M60 provides a night route into Manhattan. Taxis are the most used door-to-door option, costing roughly $40 to midtown with a 20-minute ride, and rideshare pickup areas are designated at each terminal. No public rail line connects directly to LGA, so bus-to-subway is the standard mass transit approach. For the best balance of speed and cost, the free Q70 to the subway is the smartest choice, while taxis offer the quickest direct ride.

When is the cheapest time to fly from St. Louis to New York City?

Fares from St. Louis to New York City are lowest in late January, around $329. January is the cheapest month overall, averaging $339, followed by February ($343) and September ($364). December is the most expensive month at about $430, and fares peak in late December at about $444. The yearly average is $382. 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 St. Louis to New York City?

Book about 7 weeks before departure for the best fares from St. Louis to New York City, around $298. Booking in the final days before the flight costs about $329, $31 more. Booking six months ahead runs about $359. 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 St. Louis to New York City?

There is no nonstop red-eye from St. Louis to New York City, and the only connecting overnight option routes through Orlando. That itinerary has a Frontier long leg from Orlando to Newark departing at 22:15 and arriving at 01:02 the next morning, followed by a roughly 2h17m layover in Orlando before the onward Frontier flight.
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 St. Louis to New York City?

Southwest, Delta, American, and United all fly nonstop from St. Louis to New York City, with Southwest serving LaGuardia 28 times a week, Delta 25 times a week, American 18 times a week, and United serving Newark 21 times a week. Delta and American operate their flights under regional brands with Republic Airways and Endeavor Air flying the aircraft, while United and Southwest fly mainline. All four carriers operate daily service on this route.
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 St. Louis to New York City?

On-time arrivals from St. Louis to New York City are strongest on the flights marketed by American and Delta, operated by Republic, at 82.9% landing within 15 minutes of schedule. United Express on Embraer E175s to Newark follows at 80.5%, Southwest to LaGuardia at 74.7%, and United mainline at 50.5%, with cancellation rates of 3.6%, 5.9%, 2.3%, and 0.0% respectively.
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?

John F. Kennedy International handles most international and long-haul flights and is about 15 miles from Midtown Manhattan. LaGuardia is closest to Manhattan, about 8 miles, and focuses on domestic and short-haul services. Newark Liberty is in New Jersey but often serves Manhattan travellers, with strong domestic and international options.

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

Getting to Lambert International Airport from downtown St. Louis is easy via the MetroLink light rail, which runs directly from the airport to downtown and is the most affordable and popular option. Taxis and ride-shares like Uber and Lyft are available curbside at both terminals and offer faster, door-to-door service at a higher cost, while airport shuttles provide a lower-priced shared alternative. Driving is straightforward via I-70 East, with several on-site parking lots and garages and free cell phone lots for drop-offs.

What aircraft are typically used on flights from St. Louis to New York City?

Southwest Airlines operates the most flights on the St. Louis to New York City route, using Boeing 737-700 and Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft into LaGuardia. United Airlines and its United Express partner Republic Airways fly into Newark on Boeing 737 MAX 8 and Embraer E175 jets, respectively. American Airlines' regional partner Republic Airways and Delta's Endeavor Air serve LaGuardia with Embraer E175/E170 and Bombardier CRJ-900 aircraft.
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 St. Louis to New York City?

From St. Louis to New York City, the nonstop carriers are Southwest, Delta, American, and United, which span three alliances: Delta (SkyTeam), American (oneworld), and United (Star Alliance). Southwest belongs to no alliance and flies the route independently. The Delta and American/United regional flights are operated by Endeavor Air and Republic Airways under their mainline brands.
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).
