Cheap Flights from Lisbon to New York Starting at $276

Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS) is Portugal’s main international gateway and typically serves a mix of legacy carriers and a strong presence of low-cost airlines, making fares vary from budget-friendly to premium. Located about 7 km (around 15–25 minutes by taxi) northeast of the city centre, it is usually connected by the metro (red line) in roughly 20–30 minutes for a modest fare, plus buses and airport shuttles with similar journey times. Taxis and rideshares can be quicker but cost more. Pros: convenient central location and frequent services; cons: can be busy during peak periods and some terminals may feel cramped compared with larger hubs.

John F. Kennedy International (JFK) is New York’s primary international gateway and a full-service hub for carriers such as Delta and American, while also serving many global airlines. Flights from JFK can be mid- to high-priced compared with nearby airports, reflecting its long-haul and premium network. The airport sits about 16 miles southeast of Midtown Manhattan; subway plus AirTrain trips typically take 60–75 minutes, rideshares or taxis about 45–60 minutes depending on traffic (fares vary widely, with airport flat-rate taxis or higher ride-hailing costs). Pros: extensive international connections and full passenger amenities; cons: busy terminals and potentially long queues during peak hours. LaGuardia (LGA) is primarily a domestic and short-haul airport that handles many budget and legacy domestic carriers, making it a common choice for East Coast flights. Prices can be competitive for regional hops but may rise during peak business times. Located roughly 8 miles from Midtown Manhattan, ground transfer options include buses and taxis (travel times often 20–40 minutes) and rideshares (similar timing with variable fares); public transit plus buses can be cheaper but slower. Pros: proximity to central Manhattan and frequent short-haul services; cons: limited long-haul options and occasional congestion or older terminal layouts, though recent renovations have improved the passenger experience. Newark Liberty International (EWR), situated in New Jersey about 16 miles southwest of Midtown Manhattan, functions as a major international and domestic hub—particularly for United Airlines—often handling transatlantic and cross-country flights. Fares may be comparable to JFK but can be lower on select routes, depending on demand and carrier. Transport options include the AirTrain to NJ Transit or Amtrak (25–35 minutes to Penn Station Manhattan), direct airport shuttles, taxis or rideshares (30–60 minutes depending on traffic), with fares ranging moderately. Pros: robust long-haul connectivity and frequent flights; cons: can be less convenient for Manhattan access during peak traffic and has variable terminal distances.
