Gulf carrier Emirates, one of the largest and most influential airlines in the world, is currently selling tickets for its non-stop flights from Milan to New York at a very reasonable price. You can get a round-trip from Italy to JFK airport for €489 which includes a checked bag.
Full transparency: You can find non-stop flights with American Airlines (to JFK) or United (to Newark) for as little as €410 during the travel period. You can find even cheaper prices with a change of planes with Lisbon and Copenhagen. That being said, Emirates offers the cheapest non-stop tickets including checked bags.
Our availability calendar shows you all possible flight dates at the lowest fare. It forwards you either to Emirates’ website:
The airline will operate an Airbus A380 on this route (which isn’t that big of a surprise, since Emirates owns almost half of all A380s out there). So, if you haven’t been on board the largest passenger aircraft ever built, and it’s still on your bucket list: just another reason to go for this offer. The plane comes from Dubai and the flight operates according to the 5th freedom rights.
Most Europeans need an electronic system for travel authorization (ESTA) to enter the USA for up to 90 days. This costs US$40 (~€34) and you should apply for it a couple of days before your trip, at the latest.
There are some cases where you cannot apply for an ESTA, e.g. if you’ve been to Cuba since 2021 or to Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, or North Korea since March 2011. In those cases, you’ll need to get a visa from a US embassy or consulate, which can take multiple weeks.
Search & Book
Tickets will be sold until February 2, 2026, according to the fare rules. You have to stay for 4 days or at least spend the night from Saturday to Sunday in New York before flying back to Europe. If you want, you can spend up to three months in the USA. Flights at the lowest fare are available from February through May, and in November and December 2026.
Google Flights (instructions) shows the wrong prices, but the right dates. We recommend using our availability calendar above, which will redirect you to emirates.com.
Editor’s Note: You certainly won’t book these tickets because they are the cheapest, but the most convenient. It’s a non-stop flight with a top-notch airline in probably the most famous passenger aircraft ever built (sorry, 747). It’s not an awesome price for a ticket from Europe to New York, but it is a decent fare for the entire package of non-stop, airline, plane and destination.
