When to fly to New Jersey
Peak season:
Tourism is New Jersey’s second-largest industry, and the resorts and beaches are jam-packed during the peak summer season, especially on weekends. Cape May is also very crowded in summer. Princeton graduations are in May and June at which time hotels are expensive and hard to find. Northwestern New Jersey’s Skylands are busy in winter with skiers and snowboarders.
Off season:
The water along the Jersey shore is still warm well after Labour Day and most of the crowds have left. Late spring is also a quiet time to visit the beaches and find cheap flights to New Jersey. Reduced rates are also available in the winter, particularly in the Cape May area where the Victorian architecture is stunning year-round.

Getting around New Jersey
With so much ground to cover after your cheap flight to New Jersey, you’ll need access to a car. New Jersey has 127 miles of beaches between Sandy Hook and Cape May and 40 per cent of the state is forested. Your cheap flight to New Jersey will land at either Newark or Atlantic City airports. You can hop on a train at either airport to get to Trenton, Princeton or Newark. You can also get to Manhattan from Hoboken, Newark or Jersey City by boarding the PATH trains.
