Calgary International Airport (YYC) is the city’s main international gateway and a full-service hub for carriers such as Air Canada and WestJet, while its secondary general aviation fields primarily serve private and regional traffic. Flights from YYC can be competitively priced but options range from budget fares to premium business cabins. The airport sits about 10–20 km northeast of downtown Calgary; the Calgary Airport Transit (CTrain + shuttle) or express buses typically take 30–45 minutes and cost in the low single-digit CAD range, while taxis and rideshares usually take 20–30 minutes with fares commonly in the CAD 40–60 range. YYC offers extensive amenities and year-round connections, though winter weather can occasionally cause delays and peak times may feel busy.

John F. Kennedy International (JFK) is New York’s primary international gateway and a major long-haul hub, typically serving full-service carriers alongside international alliances. Flights can be pricier than regional alternatives but often offer wider route choices. JFK sits about 15–20 miles from Manhattan; travel options include the AirTrain plus subway (~45–60 minutes, $2.75–$10 depending on connections), express buses, taxis (~45–75 minutes, fare-variable), and app rideshares. Pros: extensive intercontinental connections and airport amenities; cons: can be busy with longer security and transfer times, and ground transport may be slow during peak traffic. LaGuardia (LGA) functions mainly as a domestic and short-haul airport, frequently used by legacy and low-cost carriers for quick Northeast corridor hops. It is usually perceived as more budget-friendly for short US flights but with fewer international nonstop options. LGA is about 8–10 miles from Midtown Manhattan; options include buses to subway (~30–50 minutes, $2.75–$10), taxis and rideshares (~20–40 minutes, fare-variable), and limited direct rail. Pros: closer to the city and convenient for short trips; cons: historically compact terminals and fewer long-haul services, though improvements aim to ease congestion. Newark Liberty International (EWR) operates as a major New York-area hub with strong transcontinental and international service, commonly used by full-service carriers and several international lines. Prices can be competitive, especially on transatlantic routes, but transfer time to Manhattan is typically longer than LaGuardia’s. The airport is in New Jersey, about 16–20 miles from Midtown; transport includes NJ Transit or Amtrak trains via the AirTrain to Penn Station (~30–45 minutes, $15–$25), buses, and taxis/rideshares (~30–60 minutes, fares vary). Pros: robust long-haul route network and frequent rail links; cons: located across state lines, which can add time and complexity for some travelers.
