Cheap Flights: Houston to/from New York/Newark $169-$187 r/t – JetBlue / Southwest

[01/08/2019 @ 5:03 PM] Book this fare on: Southwest, JetBlue, BookingBuddy.

Deals are usually valid 24 to 72 hours after posting, but can expire at any time (see time-stamp).

Southwest and JetBlue have round-trip flights from Houston (HOU) to New York (EWR/JFK) starting at $169 with a connection. $189 NONSTOP. About $83 to $99 each-way. Flights from January to mid-March. Origin/Destination reversible.

Note: This deal is about +$30 more than we usually aim for, but since there are no change fees on Southwest, if it gets priced for lower you can get the difference refunded as a travel voucher.

Note: JetBlue is a bit more expensive than Southwest, but has better time slots for their departures and arrivals and better weekend availability on this deal.

Note: United, Spirit, and Frontier may have fee encumbered “Basic Economy” fares available for a bit less. Keep in mind that those “cheaper” fares are often more expensive once you factor in bag fees.

Note: Southwest doesn’t charge a change-fee, so if you already booked this flight, but paid more, you should be able to re-book at the lower price and get the difference paid back to you in the form of a travel-voucher.

Note: You may find additional savings if you book your Flight+Hotel together as a package on Southwest Vacations and use the US100OFF coupon-code at checkout. Before you commit, always compare the prices of the individual Flights and Hotel with other hotel booking sites like Hotels.com or Tripadvisor.

Note: “HOU” not “IAH”.

When you are ready to book your flight or hotel, please use the links on our site to begin your booking process so we receive credit for the referral.

  • Tips: Use Tripadvisor to create a Hotel “short list”. First, plug in your dates and destination. Then select “Sort by Traveler Ranked”. Finally, select the “Traveler Ranking” filter to show “only 4* and up”. Use this resulting “short list” of hotels to find the cheapest one with a high ranking.
  • Tips: Hotel rates for Weekend dates are usually higher than the rates for Sunday through Thursday. Tripadvisor has a color-coded date calendar, red when the average hotel price for that day is more expensive, green for less expensive. You can use this to get an overview of what dates in the month are at a discount.
  • Tips: Different booking websites will often have differing routes, prices, and availability. Before you finalize your purchase, do a quick check on BookingBuddy, Skyscanner, and Kayak to see if any other site or airline is offering a better deal.
