The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method.

Booking very late pushes fares up substantially, reaching about $366 on the day of travel, while booking more than two months out tends to cost slightly more than the optimal window. For summer and holiday periods, demand is higher, so you should book earlier than the usual window — often 8 to 12 weeks out — to lock in a reasonable fare before prices climb.", "methodology": "Booking-window guidance comes from the same monthly in-house analysis of Priceline's own air booking-summary archive. We aggregate the route's bookings by how many days before departure they were made, from about 180 days out to the day of travel, smooth the curve, and highlight the stretch of lead times with the lowest average fare.

Ride‑share services like Uber and Lyft offer door‑to‑door convenience at a moderate price, while licensed yellow taxis provide a flat fare to Manhattan that is generally higher than public transit.
