Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International (ATL) is the city’s major international hub and one of the busiest airports in the U.S., typically serving a mix of full‑service and low‑cost carriers with extensive domestic and global connections. It sits about 10–15 miles south of downtown Atlanta, with MARTA rail direct to the airport taking roughly 18–25 minutes to the city center; rideshares and taxis can take 20–40 minutes depending on traffic, often costing in the mid‑teens to mid‑forties USD. The airport is generally convenient for transfers and offers wide dining and lounge options, though crowds and long walking distances between concourses can affect comfort during peak times.

John F. Kennedy International (JFK) is New York’s primary international gateway and a major hub for full-service carriers such as Delta, American and JetBlue, along with numerous international airlines. It’s typically seen as a premium long-haul and transatlantic gateway rather than a low-cost base. JFK sits about 15–20 miles southeast of Midtown Manhattan; travel by AirTrain plus subway or LIRR usually takes 35–60 minutes, with fares commonly in the $8–15 range depending on route. Taxis and rideshares can take 35–75 minutes and cost substantially more. Pros: wide route network and extensive amenities; cons: can be busy and congested at peak times. LaGuardia Airport (LGA) functions mainly as a domestic and short-haul airport, serving many legacy and low-cost carriers including American, Delta and Southwest on predominantly U.S. routes. Positioned roughly 8–10 miles from Midtown, it’s often perceived as quicker for domestic connections but not a major international hub. Ground transport options include buses and taxis with travel times typically 20–45 minutes and fares often ranging from a few dollars to standard taxi/rideshare rates; there’s no direct rail link. Pros: shorter transfer times for local trips; cons: smaller terminal capacity and fewer long-haul options. Newark Liberty International (EWR), located in New Jersey about 16–20 miles from Midtown Manhattan, is a significant transatlantic and domestic hub especially for United Airlines and its partners. It’s commonly viewed as a strong option for international travel with a competitive range of fares. The AirTrain to NJ Transit or Amtrak usually takes around 30–50 minutes to reach Manhattan, with fares typically in the $15–25 bracket; taxis and rideshares vary by traffic. Pros: robust long-haul connections and frequent rail links; cons: can feel less convenient for some Manhattan destinations and is in a different state. Stewart International (SWF) and regional airports such as Westchester County (HPN) and Long Island MacArthur (ISP) serve niche and budget-conscious travelers, often with seasonal or low-cost carrier service. Stewart is about 60–70 miles from Manhattan and can be used for budget or charter flights; ground travel (bus or car) can take 90–120 minutes. Westchester (about 30–40 miles north) offers shorter drives and some commuter rail connections, usually 40–75 minutes to the city. Pros: potentially lower fares and less congestion; cons: fewer flights, limited schedules and longer transfer times for many travelers.
