When to fly

New York's climate is one of contrasts: the warmest month is July, with an average high of 29.6°C, while the coldest is January, when temperatures drop to -2.2°C. July is also considered the wettest period of the year, while January and November record the most sunny days.

From a budget perspective, it is most cost-effective to plan your flight for October, when fares start AED 1,230. Prices peak in July during the high tourist season, with minimum fares rising AED 1,799.

October is considered the ideal time to visit, offering a perfect compromise between mild autumn weather and the lowest prices of the year. We recommend avoiding July due to the combination of high flight costs, heat, and frequent rainfall.
