Manhattan is notoriously expensive, and hotel rates average $275 nightly. You can make the trip to the Big Apple much more affordable by booking a package that bundles airfare and hotel costs into one. JetBlue has that figured out, and its New York getaways are among its most popular. Here's a sampling:

From Boston, Mass.: Two nights at the Millenium Hilton in the Financial District from $355 per person; Jun. 30, Jul. 7, Jul. 14, Jul. 21, Jul. 28

From Buffalo, N.Y.: Two nights at the Doubletree Metropolitan in midtown from $399 per person; Jul. 5 - Jul. 9, Jul. 12, 13

From Portland, Or.: Two nights at the Millenium Hilton in the Financial District from $559 per person; Jul. 12 - Jul. 14, Jul. 18, 19, 21

From Austin, Tex.: Two nights at the New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge from $565 per person; Aug. 7 - Aug. 12

From Long Beach, Calif.: Two nights at the Courtyard Marriott New York Manhattan in midtown from $565 per person; Jul. 5 - Jul. 9, Jul. 12, 13

From Fort Lauderdale, Fla.: Two nights at the Doubletree Metropolitan in midtown from $595 per person; Jul. 5 - Jul. 9, Jul. 12, 13

Note that while JetBlue offers its getaways on an ongoing basis, the rates vary wildly depending on availability, seasonality, and departure city. Planes come with JetBlue's individual entertainment system featuring 36 channels of DIRECTV and movies for trips longer than two hours.
