Leaving from New York (JFK)

If you're checking a bag, add time rather than cutting it close. Our New York airport guide covers terminals, parking and ground transport so you can plan the trip to the airport, not just the flight.
Arriving in Charleston (CHS)

Check Charleston to New York fares — prices on the return direction often move on a different rhythm.
When to book
For a trip of 637 miles, booking 2–4 weeks ahead typically lands you in the sweet spot. Leave it to the final two weeks and prices usually climb as the cheapest seats sell out. If your dates are flexible, midweek departures are where the lower fares hide on most domestic routes.
Good to know before you go

- Screenshot your fare before you enquire — prices move, and a saved fare helps our team match or beat it.
- Flexible dates? Search a few days either side — one day can change the fare a lot.
- Morning flights are delayed less often than evening ones — earlier departures have the best on-time record.
