The Miami to New York route at a glance
American has a big presence at both ends of this route, and it's especially busy in winter when New Yorkers head south to escape the cold. It's about 1,100 miles from Miami to New York, roughly three hours in the air, with no time change to plan around since both cities are on Eastern time. Fares and demand tend to ease up again once the winter season passes, so flexible dates outside of December through March can sometimes find a better price.
Tips for this route
- In New York you can land at JFK or LaGuardia. Pick the one closer to where you’re going, and ask us to price both.
- Tropical storms can affect flights in and out of Miami from summer into fall. Check the forecast before you travel.
- Miami is also a gateway to the Caribbean and Latin America. If you’re flying on, check passport and entry rules.
