Flights to New Jersey

Sitting snugly alongside the city that never sleeps, New Jersey has many attractions in its own right, as well as being perfectly placed for discovering New York. Book flights to New Jersey and the choice is yours: New York, New Jersey, perhaps both!

Find a flight to New Jersey and you’ll soon discover that New York’s neighbour has a wealth of things to see and do...

The Statue of Liberty and neighbouring Ellis Island are two of the most visited attractions and actually sit within New Jersey itself, marking its importance.

The state has plenty of appeal, not least its prime location right next door to the Manhattan side of New York, offering easy access to everything the exciting city offers, as well as boasting home grown charms of its own.

With a laid-back and friendly atmosphere New Jersey often feels in complete contrast to New York, despite its close links and proximity. Offering traditional towns, green spaces, beaches and a world-class university, New Jersey is a fascinating place to explore.

Bradley Beach is a popular beach resort and was purpose built along with Asbury Park to accommodate pleasure seekers. Meanwhile, Princeton University is one of just eight exclusive Ivy League establishments, with a reputation for academic excellence.

For a different kind of experience altogether, Steel Pier still pulls in the crowds for its traditional fun and games and is a good example of a Victorian pier, built to entertain.

Standing tall as the country's third highest lighthouse, Absecon Lighthouse holds 150 years of history and makes for a bracing but satisfying climb, rewarding perseverance with breath-taking views. Also featuring a museum and gift shop, the lighthouse is an interesting diversion from the urban atmosphere elsewhere.

With so much more to recommend it, including the Edwin B Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge and Ripley’s Believe it or Not museum, New Jersey offers a wealth of attractions, conveniently situated next to the diversity and energy of New York, one of the most exciting cities in the world.
