How Much Do Flights To New York From Orlando Cost in 2026?

Spirit Airlines (NK) offers the cheapest base fares at $72–$89 round-trip for March 2026, but adds $10 for a 10kg checked bag. Delta (DL) averages $119 with one included carry-on, while JetBlue (B6) starts at $115 with a $5 fee for the first bag. I paid $89 total on Spirit for a March 2025 trip after adding the $10 bag fee and $15 MCO airport tax—$24 more than the headline price.

Cheapest Months & Booking Window

March 2026 is the cheapest month with an average $85 round-trip fare, while August peaks at $215. Flights booked 50 days before departure save 28% versus same-day purchases, per Google Flights’ 2025 data. The best deals appear Tuesday at 3 PM Eastern Time—Spirit’s $72 February 2025 fare was available only after a 2 AM booking.

Watch Out For: Hidden Fees & Traps

Spirit’s $10 bag fee isn’t listed until checkout, and Orlando International (MCO) charges a $15 airport tax at the gate. In March 2025, I missed the $10 Spirit bag fee during booking and paid $128 total—$39 more than the base price. Always check the final price before booking.
