The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $859 per person, $146 below the highest fare we saw for these dates
- Pod Times Square scores 8.6 from 16,637 reviews, with free cancellation
- 7 nights for the Met, MoMA, the High Line and Broadway
The catch: There are 2 stops and 39h 35m of total travel time for the round trip, and a checked bag costs about $140 for two on top of the total.
Worth it if you want a week of museums, shows and long walks in 45–55°F weather; skip it if bunk beds or long layovers wear you down.
Worth it if you can handle a long trip there: $3,130 for two, all in, covers the flights at $1,717 plus 7 nights at Pod Times Square at $1,413, with taxes and fees included. A checked bag, any resort fee and spending money aren't in that total. You fly Nov 14–21, 2026 on Alaska Airlines (AS), and it isn't nonstop: there are 2 stops and 39h 35m of total travel time for the round trip.

Why now
When we checked, the fare was $859 per person. That's $146 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, a 15% gap across 12 offers. The whole trip comes to $3,130 for two, all in: $1,717 for the flights and $1,413 for 7 nights at Pod Times Square, with taxes and fees included. A checked bag (about $140 for two), any resort fee and spending money aren't in that number. In mid-November, New York usually has highs of 45–55°F and lows near 36°F, and most days are overcast. That's coat weather, and fine for walking the High Line or crossing the Brooklyn Bridge. On the city's calendar, November is the month of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and the NYC Marathon. This week is good for museum mornings and Broadway nights. Prices change, so the fare may not hold.
The kind of trip this is
This is a cold-weather city week built around walking, museums, shows and food. It suits a couple or two friends who like long days on foot and getting around by subway, and who don't mind sharing a small pod room. With a full 7 nights, the pace can stay easy: one big thing a day, a long dinner and early nights while you get over the trip in.
