Route Briefing: New York to Austin
Flying from New York to Austin takes 3 hours and 58 minutes across 1,514 miles. JetBlue, Delta, and United fly daily nonstops out of JFK, LGA, and EWR into Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS).
Austin is famous for its energetic live music, world-class barbecue, and sunny outdoor lifestyle. Rent a kayak on Lady Bird Lake, cool off in the natural spring waters of Barton Springs Pool in Zilker Park, or browse quirky vintage boutiques along South Congress Avenue. By evening, feast on tender smoked brisket at Terry Black's or Franklin Barbecue, then catch live indie rock and country music on Rainey Street or at the historic Continental Club.
A good economy deal is under $140 roundtrip, with standard fares sitting between $200 and $320. High season occurs during the spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) when major festivals like SXSW and ACL take over the city. Book 4 to 6 weeks in advance for the best prices.
