Cologne Bonn Airport (CGN) serves as the primary international gateway for Cologne and the surrounding Rhine-Ruhr region, blending full-service and low-cost carriers — you’ll typically find Eurowings, Lufthansa and Ryanair among regular operators. It’s located about 15–20 km southeast of Cologne city centre; journey times vary from roughly 15–30 minutes by regional train or S-Bahn, with fares usually in the low single-digit euros, while taxis and rideshares can take 20–35 minutes at higher cost. The airport is compact and generally easy to navigate, which can be convenient for transfers, though peak periods may feel crowded and choices for late-night dining are more limited than at larger hubs.
John F. Kennedy International (JFK) is New York’s largest international gateway and typically serves as the city’s premium long-haul hub, with major global carriers and international alliances operating frequent flights. Located about 16 miles (25 km) southeast of Manhattan, it can take 30–70 minutes by AirTrain plus subway or 40–60 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; expect transit fares around $8–$15 for rail connections and taxi fares that can vary substantially. JFK’s strengths are extensive route options and full-service facilities, while downsides can include crowds, longer transfer times, and variable traffic delays.
LaGuardia Airport (LGA) is primarily a domestic and short-haul facility often used for regional and budget-oriented routes alongside major U.S. carriers. Roughly 8 miles (13 km) from Midtown Manhattan, typical travel times are 15–35 minutes by car or 30–50 minutes by public bus and subway connections, with local fares generally under $5 for public transit and higher taxi costs in heavy traffic. LaGuardia is convenient for quick access to the city and often quicker security lines, but it can be more limited in international service and suffer congested road access.
Newark Liberty International (EWR) is an international hub located in New Jersey that commonly handles a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers, often seen as an alternative for both domestic and transatlantic travel. It sits about 16 miles (25 km) southwest of Midtown Manhattan; transit options include the AirTrain-to-NJ Transit combo (about 30–45 minutes) or taxis/rideshares which can range from 30–60 minutes depending on traffic, with rail fares typically under $20. Newark’s pros include broad flight choice and frequent long-haul connections, while cons can be border-state travel times and occasional congestion at peak hours.
