Frequently asked questions about flying to New York

The proverbial “New York state of mind” comes from the quirky characteristics of the city and its multitude of people from all over the world. Comprising of the 5 boroughs of Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island, New York City (NYC) is a melting pot of cultures and ethnicities blending big city splendour with small-town charm. Major commercial and financial centres, an iconic skyline, sprawling parks and trend-setting art, fashion, and culinary quests are just some of the myriad reasons that bring people to New York City.

These months are hot and humid with temperatures ranging from 25 – 30 degrees Celsius. September – November are cooler months with a crisp fall breeze and bright sun but hotel prices are steep. Try to stay clear of the tourist season around Thanksgiving when NYC is packed with visitors for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Accommodation is cheaper during the peak winter months of January – February, so if the snow and freezing temperatures do not deter you, then you should plan a trip at the start of the year.
