Flight deals from Las Vegas to New York
Flights on this page leave Harry Reid International (LAS) and land at John F. Kennedy International (JFK). LaGuardia (LGA) in Queens and Newark Liberty (EWR) are separate airports, so check the airport code on every result. American, JetBlue, Delta and United have appeared in EazAir's fare checks for this route. At LAS, American and Delta use Terminal 1 while United and JetBlue use Terminal 3; at JFK, Delta uses Terminal 4, JetBlue Terminal 5 and American Terminal 8.
Start by matching your airline to its LAS terminal, because a free shuttle links the two buildings from Level 0. Harry Reid runs five security checkpoints, three in Terminal 1 and two in Terminal 3. The airport asks domestic travelers to arrive at least 2 hours before departure, with extra time during major conventions. Repaving in the airport connector tunnels is reducing lanes, and LAS expects that work to finish by the end of December 2026, so leave room on the drive in.
AirTrain JFK moves you between terminals for free, every 5 to 15 minutes, and JFK says terminal-to-terminal trips take under 10 minutes. If you booked a ride app and land at Terminal 5, the pickup point has moved to the Howard Beach AirTrain station, and that AirTrain ride is free. For Manhattan by rail, ride AirTrain to Jamaica, where the AirTrain fare applies, then the LIRR, which the Port Authority says reaches Penn Station or Grand Central Madison in about 20 minutes.
EazAir ran its first 28 fare checks for LAS to JFK from 8 Sep to 16 Oct 2026, each for the lowest one-way economy fare for one adult, departing 30 days later. The highest result was at least double the lowest, the 28 checks returned 16 different results, and the lowest result came on 21 Sep. Of the four airlines, only United Basic Economy leaves out a carry-on on domestic flights. Search your own dates, and check the final price, bags and fare rules on the partner site before you pay.

Travel tips
Arrive early for domestic flights
TSA generally recommends arriving at least 2 hours before a domestic departure, more at larger hub airports during peak travel periods.
Pack a mixed carry-on
Keep a change of clothes, chargers, and any essentials in your carry-on rather than only your checked bag, in case of a delay or a bag that doesn't arrive with you.
Ease jet lag on longer routes
On longer cross-country flights, adjusting your sleep schedule a day or two before departure and staying hydrated in flight can reduce jet lag on arrival.
Screenshot your confirmation
Save a screenshot or PDF of your booking confirmation and boarding pass before you travel, in case you lose signal or battery at the airport.
Check in online when it opens
Most airlines open online check-in 24 hours before departure. Checking in early can help with seat selection and, on some airlines, boarding group assignment.
