Soekarno–Hatta International Airport (CGK) is Jakarta’s main international gateway and the country’s busiest airport, serving a mix of full-service international carriers and Indonesian network airlines as well as some low-cost operators. Located about 20–25 km northwest of central Jakarta (roughly 40–60 minutes by car depending on traffic), CGK is reachable by taxi, ride-hailing services, and the Soekarno–Hatta Airport Rail Link which typically takes around 35–55 minutes to Gambir station with fares usually in the low single-digit USD equivalent. Advantages include extensive international connections and modern terminals; drawbacks can be heavy traffic to/from the city and busy peak-hour crowds. Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport (HLP) functions more as a secondary airport that often handles domestic flights, some business-charter services, and a limited number of regional carriers. It sits closer to central Jakarta — about 7–10 km southeast (roughly 20–45 minutes by road) — making it an attractive option for time-sensitive domestic travelers. Ground options include taxis and ride-hailing with fares generally modest for short trips; there is limited rail connectivity. The airport can be quicker and less hectic than the main hub, but it offers fewer international routes and amenities in comparison.

Newark Liberty International (EWR) — Located in Newark, New Jersey, Newark Liberty functions as one of New York’s major international hubs, handling many long-haul and transatlantic services as well as domestic flights. It is a strong base for legacy carriers and some international airlines, so fares can vary but are often competitive for cross‑country and overseas routes. The airport sits about 16 miles (25 km) from Midtown Manhattan; typical travel options include NJ Transit or Amtrak trains to Penn Station (20–35 minutes, fares generally in the mid-range), express buses and ride‑shares (30–60 minutes depending on traffic). Pros: extensive international connectivity and frequent rail links; cons: can be prone to traffic delays and larger terminals may require extra transfer time. John F. Kennedy International (JFK) — JFK is New York’s principal international gateway and a major hub for full‑service carriers, offering a broad mix of long‑haul, transatlantic and domestic flights. It tends to host both premium and low‑cost international services, so ticket prices can span a wide range depending on carrier and season. Located roughly 15 miles (24 km) from Midtown Manhattan, options to reach the city include the AirTrain plus subway or LIRR to Penn Station (35–60 minutes, moderate fares), shuttle buses, taxis and ride‑shares (35–90 minutes in traffic). Pros: extensive airline choice and nonstop long‑haul routes; cons: sprawling terminals and potential for congestion at peak times. LaGuardia Airport (LGA) — Situated in Queens, LaGuardia primarily serves domestic and short‑haul international flights and is commonly used by business and leisure travelers seeking quick access to Manhattan. It’s a focus for several major domestic carriers and some low‑cost airlines, which can make it a reasonable option for short flights though prices vary by carrier. LaGuardia lies about 8 miles (13 km) from Midtown; travel choices include buses and subway connections, taxis and ride‑shares (20–45 minutes depending on traffic, fares typically mid‑range), and planned rail links in development. Pros: closest to Manhattan and convenient for short hops; cons: limited long‑haul service and traffic or construction can affect punctuality.
