Denver International Airport (DEN) is Colorado’s primary international hub and a major connecting point for domestic and transcontinental flights, with large carriers such as United and Southwest operating many services alongside several international airlines. Located about 25 miles (40 km) northeast of downtown Denver, travel times typically range from 35–60 minutes by car depending on traffic; the A-Line commuter rail takes roughly 37 minutes to Union Station with fares usually in the low double digits, while rideshares and airport shuttles can be faster but cost more. DEN is generally seen as offering competitive pricing for nonstop connections, although peak-season fares can be higher. The airport’s modern facilities and extensive route network make it convenient for onward travel, though the distance from the city center and occasional winter weather disruptions can add complexity to transfers.

John F. Kennedy International (JFK) serves as New York’s primary international gateway and a major long-haul hub for full-service carriers like Delta, American and international partners. It typically handles a wide mix of premium and leisure traffic and can be pricier than nearby alternatives for comparable routes. JFK is about 16 miles from Midtown Manhattan; travel by AirTrain plus subway or LIRR generally takes 45–75 minutes and can cost roughly $10–$35 depending on connection, while taxis and rideshares often run 45–80 minutes and vary by traffic and surge pricing. Pros: broad global connectivity and extensive amenities; cons: busy terminals and longer transfer times during peak hours. LaGuardia Airport (LGA) is primarily a domestic and short-haul hub favored by major US carriers and many low-cost regional operators, typically positioning it as the quicker option for Northeast U.S. flights. It sits roughly 8 miles from Midtown Manhattan—ground transport like buses, taxis or rideshares usually take 20–45 minutes depending on traffic, with bus fares often under $5 and rideshares/taxis costing more. Pros: closer to Manhattan and convenient for short trips; cons: fewer international services, limited long-haul routes, and variable congestion that can affect on-time performance. Newark Liberty International (EWR), located in New Jersey, functions as a significant international and transcontinental hub—particularly for United Airlines—and often competes with JFK on price and route availability. It’s approximately 16–20 miles from Midtown Manhattan; travelers typically use NJ Transit trains plus AirTrain or Amtrak for a 30–50 minute transfer with fares in the $15–$30 range, while taxis and ride-hailing trips can take 30–60 minutes depending on traffic. Pros: strong long-haul network and good rail links to Manhattan; cons: can be less convenient for some NYC neighborhoods and subject to customs delays for international arrivals.
