24 Hours in New York City (NYC)
There is no city quite like New York. From the moment you land, the skyline greets you with energy and elegance. For a short escape or a luxury weekend in New York City, every hour offers something unforgettable. I would recommend flying in via United Airlines, since they have reliable flights and great service. United has lots of earlier flights to choose from to ensure that you can make it to NYC early in the day to make the most out of your short trip.
