We flew to NYC on LAN airlines, which is a Chilean airline. They have a YYZ->SCL line which stops over at JFK. Flying LAN was significantly cheaper than every other airline; it cost us about $195 USD for the return trip, which we booked one week before flying.
Surprisingly, it wasn’t a bad experience flying on LAN. Even though the flight was not even two hours, we were given a drink and a snack (cheese sandwich). The best part was that they had an in-flight entertainment system where you could choose which movie or TV show to watch, what albums to listen to, or what games to play. Each seat had their own remote/gamepad to play classics like Tetris, battleship, or chess. Some of the games even supported multiplayer!
We stayed at the Grand Hyatt in Manhattan. Though, I felt that I needed a suit and few more 0s to fit in there. The location is super-convenient as it’s attached to Grand Central Terminal. The room was decent sized as well, although we had a full walk-in closet; I guess they intended for us to do a lot of shopping?
