New York City from San Juan, Nov 14–21: $2,050 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Nonstop JetBlue from SJU, leaving 7:00 AM, landing at JFK 10:03 AM
- $319 per person, $85 below the typical fare on this route
- Pod Times Square: 8.6 from 16,615 reviews, free cancellation
The catch: The best-value room is a bunk pod, highs run 45–55°F under mostly overcast skies, and resort fees and a checked bag are not in the total.
Worth it if you want museums, Broadway and food for a week in fall coats; skip it if a bunk pod won't work for the two of you.
Worth it if you can live with a bunk pod and November cold: the trip is $2,050 for two, the flights at $637 plus the hotel at $1,413, taxes and fees included. That's 7 nights, Nov 14–21, 2026, on a nonstop JetBlue (B6) round trip from San Juan to JFK. Resort fees, a checked bag and spending money are not in the total.

Why now
The fare is $319 per person, $85 below the typical fare on this route, which is $404 per person based on 15 earlier checks. That's 21% under, and the fares we saw for these dates ran from $319 to $417 per person. Add Pod Times Square at $1,413 for 7 nights and the whole trip for two comes to $2,050, taxes and fees included, as found when we checked; prices can move before you book. Mid-November brings typical highs of 45–55°F and lows near 36°F, mostly overcast, so this is a week for museums, theater and long dinners more than lazy park afternoons. You land at 10:03 AM on Saturday, Nov 14, which leaves the whole first afternoon for a walk through Midtown and a show that night.
The kind of trip this is
A city week built on culture and food: a museum in the morning, a Broadway show at night and a restaurant for every cuisine in between, all reachable by subway. It suits a couple or two friends who like to walk a lot and don't mind coat weather, at an easy pace with seven full days to fill without rushing.

Where to stay in New York City
Pod Times Square is our pick for value: $1,413 for the 7 nights ($202 a night), an 8.6 score from 16,615 reviews, and the room is a Bunk Pod. Pod 51 is a near twin at $1,432 ($205 a night), scoring 8.2 from 9,517 reviews, though its Bunk Pod comes with a shared bathroom. The Chelsean New York costs more at $2,132 ($305 a night) with a 7.3 score from 4,653 reviews, but you get a high-floor guest room with 2 double beds instead of bunks. All three are 3-star, room only, with free cancellation, in Manhattan. Midtown is the base for Times Square, Broadway theatres and the most hotel choice; the Upper West Side trades that buzz for quieter blocks next to Central Park and museums.
