Book your airline tickets on cheap flights for spring and early summer, as this is when you can get to feast on a whole lot of city attractions for free. Also this the time when the weather is great and there are a lot of fairs and parades happening. Yet another season the tourists book their cheap tickets to New York City for is September. The city seems to be bathed in the colorful hues of the foliage and there is much excitement as theater, concerts, ballet and opera unabashedly court the city!

If you are interested in museums and other typical NYC attractions, then before you hail that cab to take you from one place to the other, throughout the day, make a pit stop at Times Square and purchase that all important City Pass! This lets you enjoy six of the most coveted and visited city attractions – Guggenheim Museum, Empire State Building, the Museum of Modern Art, the statue of Liberty, the American Museum of Natural History and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The city pass is valid for nine days only and comes at a cost of $79 per person. Not a bad investment, we say!

When it comes to negotiating the city, you can opt for anything that catches your fancy - Public buses, subway or cabs. Do opt for a ride at the subway as it is a typical NYC thing to do, not to mention that if you purchase your MetroCard, you can swing forth traveling via bus and metro.
