The Atlanta to New York route at a glance
Atlanta to New York is one of the busiest pairs in the country, and Delta flies it often, with multiple nonstops most days. In New York you can land at JFK or LaGuardia, and Newark is a third choice just across the river if you’re willing to cross from New Jersey. It’s roughly 760 miles, so the flight takes a little over two hours in the air, though JFK tends to have the fullest Delta schedule of the three. Atlanta’s own hub status means delays elsewhere in Delta’s network can occasionally ripple through this route, so a little buffer on connecting plans is worth it.
Tips for this route
- Compare JFK and LaGuardia. The better one depends on where you’re staying in the city, and the fares can differ.
- Early-morning and evening flights are popular with business travelers, so they can cost more than midday flights.
- Both ends are big airports. Leave extra time for security in Atlanta and for getting into the city on the other side.
