From the Bay of Kotor to Manhattan – your flight options

There is no direct route between Tivat and New York, but the trip is straightforward: a short hop to one of the big European or regional hubs, then across the Atlantic. These are the combinations travellers choose most often:

  • Belgrade – Air Serbia links Tivat with Belgrade and continues non-stop to JFK.
  • Istanbul – Turkish Airlines flies from Tivat and Podgorica, with several daily departures from Istanbul to New York.
  • Frankfurt or Munich – Lufthansa serves Tivat in season, while connections from Podgorica are available all year.
  • Vienna, London or Paris – Austrian, British Airways and other carriers offer transatlantic connections with their partners; some routes from Tivat operate in summer only.

Outside the summer season Tivat has fewer departures, so it’s worth comparing flights from Podgorica too – just switch the departure airport in the search.

Journey time and time difference

The flight from Europe to New York takes 8 to 10 hours. Add the first leg and the connection, and the whole trip from Tivat usually takes 13 to 18 hours. New York is 6 hours behind Montenegro, so with a morning departure you’ll typically land the same afternoon or evening, local time.

How to find a good fare

  • Timing: for long-haul flights it’s best to book two to four months before you travel.
  • Cheaper periods: January to March and November, except the week around Thanksgiving.
  • Pricier periods: the summer months and the holidays from mid-December to New Year.
  • Flexibility: shifting your departure by a day or two can bring noticeable savings – check nearby dates.

New York’s airports

  • John F. Kennedy (JFK) – the city’s largest international airport, in Queens. The AirTrain runs to Jamaica and Howard Beach stations, from where the subway or LIRR train reaches Manhattan in 45 to 75 minutes.
  • Newark (EWR) – located in New Jersey and often convenient for flights from Europe. AirTrain plus a train to Penn Station gets you to Manhattan in around 30 to 40 minutes.
  • LaGuardia (LGA) – mainly for flights within the US and Canada, so useful if you’re travelling on around North America.

New York in seven stops

  1. Central Park – a vast park in the heart of Manhattan, ideal for a walk, a bike ride or a picnic.
  2. Times Square and Broadway – dazzling billboards and world-famous musicals.
  3. Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island – reached by ferry from Battery Park.
  4. Observation decks – the Empire State Building or Top of the Rock for a panorama of the city.
  5. Brooklyn Bridge – walk across and look back at the Manhattan skyline.
  6. The Met – one of the largest art collections in the world.
  7. 9/11 Memorial and the High Line – a place of remembrance and a park built on a disused railway.

Where to stay

For a first visit, Manhattan makes the most sense: Midtown puts you close to Times Square, Broadway and Central Park, while Lower Manhattan is next to Wall Street and the Statue of Liberty ferries. For lower prices, look at hotels in Brooklyn or Queens with good subway links. Given the long journey and the time difference, we recommend staying at least five to seven days.

Before you go

  • Visa: Montenegrin citizens need a visa to enter the US. The process can take time, so check the requirements on the official US Embassy website well in advance.
  • Transit: also check the transit rules in the country where you connect.
  • Insurance: medical care in the US is very expensive, so travel health insurance is practically a must.
  • Getting around: the subway runs around the clock, and you pay contactless with a card or phone.
