We’ve taken a closer look at some of the most exciting destinations served by JFK International Airport that are within easy reach. Make the most of having the country’s greatest gateway to the world in easy reach – here are five destinations you should consider with a flight time of less than five hours.
Art, Culture and Movies in Toronto, Canada
Canada’s top tourist destination is just 90 minutes away by air, making it a practical choice for a weekend getaway. There are six international flights from JFK to Pearson International Airport every day. The city is famous for its arts, culture and fine dining. Movie fans will gravitate to Toronto in September for the International Film Festival (TIFF) which runs from September 4 to 14. This year will mark the festival’s 50th anniversary, so there are some extra special events taking place including a commemorative series, “The TIFF Story in 50 Films,” at the TIFF Lightbox. The festival will open with Colin Hanks’ documentary, John Candy: I Like Me,” about the late great John Candy.
Caribbean Charm and Gala Excess in Nassau, Bahamas
Nassau is a three-hour flight from JFK and there are daily flights with both Delta and JetBlue. The city itself boasts rich culture with traditional Caribbean charm. It is also a gateway to some truly exquisite luxury destinations such as Baha Mar with its world class dining and private beach. In October, the resort will host the fourth Annual Bahamas Culinary & Arts Festival, a celebration combining celebrity chef showcases, art exhibitions and gala dinners. The event also incorporates the third FUZE Art Expo.
Cancun, Mexico’s answer to the Gold Coast
Arguably one of North America’s best kept secrets, Cancun has been compared to Australia’s Gold Coast due to its beautiful beaches, vibrant nightlife, and numerous cultural attractions. However, unlike its antipodean cousin, it is only three and a half hours flight from JFK. The city is famous for its high end nightclubs like Coco Bongo and Mandela. However, it is also an ideal destination for those who prefer a more reserved experience. The NIZUK Resort and Spa is only a 15 minute drive from the airport and boasts a complete range of spa and fitness facilities. The exclusive Nizu Valley suites are popular with celebrity guests including Demi Moore, Kim Kardashian and Eva Longoria.
Luxury with Conscience in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.
If you want to enjoy luxury travel but are concerned about the environmental impact of tourism, Punta Cana is the place to relax and luxuriate with a clear conscience. It is a four hour flight from JFK, served by JetBlue and American Airlines. On arrival, you will find a choice of high-end tourism options at Punta Cana’s own eco reserve. These range from bespoke eco tours with private guides to pampering at the newly launched ZEL wellness resort. This adults-only facility blends Mediterranean hospitality with dedicated sports, spa, and sustainability programming.
Reykjavik, Iceland is like nowhere else on earth.
At around five hours flight time, Reykjavik is at the upper limit of short-haul in terms of international flights from JFK. However, its unique natural features make it well worth the trip. Consider a private Northern Lights yacht tour or helicopter chase for an experience that simply cannot be had anywhere else in the world. Gastronomist’s will love the city’s food scene. Reykjavik has become a magnet for exciting young chefs with Michelin aspirations. Examples include Ragnar Eiriksson, who elevates seafood to new levels at his restaurant Brut, and Leifur Kolbeinsson of La Primavera, where a small rotating menu combines classic Italian dishes with peak season Icelandic produce.
