Athens International Airport (ATH) is Greece’s primary international gateway and the city’s main hub for both full-service carriers and many budget airlines, so fares can range from economy to premium depending on carrier and season. Located about 20 km east of central Athens, it’s usually reached in 30–45 minutes by car or taxi (fares typically vary with traffic) and by the suburban rail or metro in roughly 30–40 minutes; express buses and frequent airport shuttles offer cheaper alternatives with longer journey times. The airport tends to be modern and well-equipped, making transfers and services convenient, though busy peak periods can mean longer queues and higher taxi costs into the city.
John F. Kennedy International (JFK) is New York’s main international gateway and a full-service hub for several legacy carriers, so it typically handles most long-haul and transatlantic flights. It sits about 16 miles (25 km) southeast of Manhattan; transit options include the AirTrain connecting to the subway and Long Island Rail Road (roughly 35–60 minutes, fares vary by connection), taxis or rideshares (about 45–75 minutes depending on traffic), and airport shuttles. JFK can be pricier to reach but often offers a wide range of carriers and amenities; downside can be longer transfer times and occasional congestion during peak hours.
LaGuardia (LGA) functions mainly as a domestic and short-haul airport serving the New York region and is commonly used by both legacy and low-cost carriers for U.S. routes. Located in Queens only about 8 miles (13 km) from Midtown Manhattan, it’s usually the fastest to reach by road—taxi or rideshare rides are typically 20–40 minutes depending on traffic—while public bus or shuttle options can take longer; there are ongoing upgrades that may affect access. LaGuardia can feel more convenient for quick domestic trips and lower overall fares on some routes, though it can be busier and offer fewer international services.
Newark Liberty International (EWR) is a major transcontinental and international hub often favored by both legacy carriers and some low-cost operators; it serves the New York metro area from across the Hudson in New Jersey. It lies around 16 miles (25 km) southwest of Midtown Manhattan, with transit via NJ Transit or Amtrak plus the AirTrain to terminals (about 30–60 minutes, fares vary), as well as taxis and ferries; road travel times often depend heavily on traffic and tolls. Newark can be competitively priced and slightly less crowded than JFK for some routes, though it may add extra travel time if you’re originating in Manhattan.
