Let's kick things off with this nonstop flight in January from Atlanta to EWR for just $77 on Delta.

This fare is in Delta's basic economy class, meaning you won't have the option to select your seat, but you'll be allowed to carry on a bag for the low price of $77. If you prefer seat selection and more flexibility to change your flight, consider upgrading to their main cabin.

Since the Miami-New York route is quite popular among travelers, check out this nonstop round-trip fare for $79 from MIA to EWR on American.

This flight is in AA's main cabin, offering seat selection and one carry-on bag.

It's worth noting that these fares are valid in reverse, allowing New York City travelers to benefit from this deal by reversing your origin and destination. For example, here’s a JFK-CHS nonstop fare for $97 on Delta.
