Cached-fare history: across 5 months, Nov is the cheapest for NYC → FRA. Best time to be there: May–Sep.
Fares bottom out in November around $537 and peak in July near $770 — a $233 spread across the 5 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 10.5 hours outbound, on a 7-night trip — ticketed under TAP Air Portugal, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $537 for 6,198 km each way, that works out to about $43 per 1,000 km flown. That is about the $44 typical of long-haul fares here. Across the 8 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Frankfurt, this fare ranks 4th — 1.8× the $293 we hold from Dubai. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 30 routes of similar length we watch out of New York, where the middle fare is $621.

NYC → FRA, answered.
Is $537 a good price for New York to Frankfurt?
Only slightly. The seasonal median is around $655 round-trip and this fare is 18% under it, about $118. We do not call a drop notable until 20%, so this is an ordinary price for the route rather than a reason to hurry.
What is the cheapest month to fly from New York to Frankfurt?
Across 5 months of cached-fare history, Nov comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Frankfurt are May–Sep — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book NYC → Frankfurt?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 5 months of cached fares, Nov comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from New York to Frankfurt?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under TAP Air Portugal. Nonstop options exist on many dates at higher prices — check the live search for your exact dates.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on September 1). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
