Abu Dhabi International (AUH) is the emirate’s main international hub, serving a mix of full-service carriers and a growing number of premium leisure and business routes; low-cost airlines operate fewer services compared with neighboring Dubai. The airport sits roughly 30–40 km east of Abu Dhabi city center, with road transfer times typically around 30–45 minutes by taxi or ride-hail depending on traffic; express bus services take about 45–60 minutes and can be a lower-cost option. Fares to the center can usually be moderate for taxis and very economical on public buses. Pros: modern terminals, good onward connections and lounges; cons: distance from downtown can add travel time and occasional peak-hour delays.

Newark Liberty International (EWR) sits across the Hudson in New Jersey and often functions as a major international and transcontinental gateway for the New York metro area, with strong legacy-carrier presence like United and a range of international airlines. Fares can be competitive on transatlantic and domestic routes, especially for connections. The airport is about 15–20 miles from Midtown Manhattan; travel options include NJ Transit/Amtrak plus AirTrain (roughly 30–45 minutes, fares typically in the low double digits), express buses (45–60 minutes) and taxis or rideshares (30–60 minutes, variable pricing). Pros: broad route network and frequent long‑haul departures. Cons: can be busy, subject to delays and longer transfer times to Manhattan. John F. Kennedy International (JFK) is New York’s primary international hub, commonly served by major full‑service carriers and many long‑haul flights. International fares are often competitive thanks to heavy airline competition and multiple alliances. JFK lies about 15–18 miles from Midtown Manhattan; public transport includes the AirTrain linking to the subway and Long Island Rail Road (30–60 minutes, fares usually moderate), direct airport buses and plentiful taxis/rideshares (30–70 minutes, costs vary). Pros: extensive international connections and amenities. Cons: the layout and traffic can make transfers and ground travel time unpredictable. LaGuardia Airport (LGA) is typically positioned as the region’s short‑haul and domestic-focused airport, favored for East Coast and domestic flights operated by a mix of legacy and low‑cost carriers. Prices for domestic trips from LaGuardia can be reasonable, particularly for business‑class day trips. It is located about 8–10 miles from Midtown Manhattan; surface transit options include city buses and subway connections (25–45 minutes, low fares), as well as taxis and rideshares (20–40 minutes, cost depends on traffic). Pros: closest to Manhattan and convenient for short hops. Cons: fewer long‑haul options and historically limited international service and terminal capacity, though upgrades are ongoing.
