TRAVEL
Back in June last year, Norwegian airlines
made deal with small UK, Irish and
Norwegian airports to serve an airport
called Stewart International, in Newburgh,
NY. The airport is around an hour and 20
mins drive from New York City. So initially
everyone was skeptical that people who
thought they would be flying to New
York City would end up in the middle of
nowhere with a tricky journey to actually
get to the where they thought they were
headed.
It was a bit fucking scary to see the map
to New York saying it couldn't find any
public transport routes... so thank god
Stewart International launched a shuttle
service costing just $20 to take passengers
from the airport to the heart of it - 42nd
Street, Times Square
Why am I banging on about this tiny
and seemingly inconvenient airport then?
Well since you won't be touching down at
JKF and leading a glamorous New York
experience from the get go - you will be
saving a shit ton of money.
From our experience the airports and
plane were small, everything felt similar
to an averagely priced European flight.
BUT, to get us to New York and back IN
AUGUST, was just under £200 per person.
So if you're willing to skimp on that VIP
treatment, bring your own lunch and
download lots of movies from Netflix, you
are in for a screaming deal.
You can fly to Stewart International from
Edinburgh, Belfast, Dublin and Shannon.
Inconvenient yes, but worth it.
FLIGHT TO NYC CHEAPER THAN
YEEZYS, A PS4 OR A FIFTH OF AN
IPHONE X!
Holla at Norwegian for sorting out a killer deal on flights
to NYC.
