Southwest Airlines Flights from New York to Oklahoma City

Southwest Airlines on this route

Southwest Airlines serves NYC–OKC through its hub network, usually with one connection. The nonstop flight time is about 3h 23m.

Fare classes available: Basic, Choice / Choice Preferred, Choice Extra. Southwest does not charge change fees on any fare; you pay the fare difference if the new flight is more expensive.

The lowest one-way fare we have on record for this route is $219 on American, and $436 round-trip. Fares like that usually show up on off-peak days and for travel booked a few weeks out; an agent can check whether a similar fare is available for your dates.

Because Delta Air Lines treats New York as a hub, this pairing tends to have frequent departures throughout the day. American Airlines and Southwest Airlines also compete here, which keeps fares in check.

At 1,342 miles and about 3h 23m nonstop, this is a long domestic sector where the choice of airline matters for comfort: seat pitch, Wi-Fi, and a meal option vary more than the fare does. Overnight and first-departure flights are usually cheapest.

Recorded lows on NYC–OKC have come from American and Southwest recently. The cheapest carrier on a given day depends on how full each flight is, so a live comparison usually beats any rule of thumb.

When to fly

Winter fares out of the Northeast peak around the holidays and February school breaks; late April to early June and September to early November are usually the calmest on price.

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday departures are usually the cheapest days on domestic routes; Friday and Sunday are the most expensive. Early-morning and late-evening flights are often priced below the midday departures.

For domestic travel, booking three to eight weeks ahead usually captures the best price. Inside two weeks, fares climb; more than four months out, airlines have not yet released their cheapest inventory.
