How to score cheap tickets on JetBlue flights from Vancouver to New York
The least expensive trips between YVR and JFK typically cost between $425 and $640 and involve at least one stop, according to Google Flights.
With the sale, you can score a one-way, direct flight from Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»to New York for under US$139. It should be noted, however, that you can't buy a ticket to the United States without having proof of transportation back to Canada, whether that is via a train, plane, cruise, or other option.
Use JetBlue's calendar to select the travel dates with the lowest prices. For example, a flight that departs YVR on Nov. 17 and returns a week later on Nov. 24 costs US$273.88, which works out to roughly C$375.75 based on the current conversion rate.
