Why now
At $428 per person round trip, the nonstop on B6 is $64 below the highest fare we saw for these dates. That's a 13% gap across the 12 offers we checked. The other nonstop airline in our sample, UA, was $492 per person. For two, the B6 fare comes to $856, all-in with taxes and fees as found today, but fares move and we can't promise it will hold. Our sample budget for two comes to $3,230 for the 4 nights: $856 in flights, $854 at Pod Times Square and $1,520 in spending money, which works out to $190 per person per day. Late November in New York means typical highs of 45–51°F and lows near 35°F. That suits a trip built around museums, a Broadway show and long dinners more than one built around parks.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city getaway built on culture, food, shopping and nightlife, all a subway ride apart. It suits a couple or a pair of friends who like to walk all day and go out at night. The early flight lands at 9:48 AM, so day one counts. With four nights you can fit in a museum morning, a show and a slower last full day without rushing.

Questions readers ask
How much is the flight?
It's $428 per person round trip, or $856 for two, nonstop on B6 from RSW to JFK. That price includes taxes and fees as of when we checked. A UA nonstop came in at $492 per person. Fares change, so check the live price before you book.

No. It's a domestic trip, prices are in US dollars, and there's no time difference between Fort Myers and New York.

The outbound flight leaves Thursday, Nov 19 at 7:00 AM and lands at JFK at 9:48 AM. The return leaves Monday, Nov 23 at 6:10 AM and lands at 9:20 AM, so plan for an early start that day.
