John F. Kennedy International (JFK) is New York’s largest international gateway and a major hub for full-service carriers, typically serving long-haul and transatlantic flights alongside many global airlines. It’s about 15–20 miles from Midtown Manhattan; travel to the city center can take 35–60 minutes by AirTrain plus subway or LIRR (fares usually range from modest rail fares to higher taxi/ride-share costs). Pros: extensive international connections and many airline lounges; cons: can be busy and experience long security or transfer times during peak hours. LaGuardia (LGA) functions primarily as a domestic and short-haul airport and is often used by legacy and low-cost carriers operating Northeast corridor routes. Located roughly 8–10 miles from Manhattan, typical travel times to Midtown are 20–40 minutes by car depending on traffic, with public buses and shuttle services offering lower-cost options; rideshare or taxi fares can be higher in heavy traffic. Pros: close to the city and convenient for short hops; cons: fewer international services and facilities can be more limited compared with larger hubs. Newark Liberty International (EWR), across the Hudson in New Jersey, acts as a major international and transcontinental hub for several legacy airlines and often has competitive fares, especially for transatlantic routes. It sits about 15–18 miles from Midtown Manhattan; the AirTrain plus NJ Transit or Amtrak can take 30–40 minutes to Penn Station, with cab or rideshare drives varying by traffic and typically costing more. Pros: strong hub connectivity and frequent rail links; cons: located farther from some Manhattan neighborhoods and transfers can add time and complexity. Stewart International (SWF) is a smaller, budget-friendly option that can be used for low-cost or seasonal services and is sometimes chosen for cheaper fares to the region. It’s located about 60 miles north of Manhattan, so travel to the city usually takes around 90–120 minutes by car or coach services that run less frequently and may be more economical. Pros: lower congestion and potentially lower fares; cons: much longer ground travel times and fewer flight options compared with the three main metro airports.
