John F. Kennedy International (JFK) is New York’s primary international gateway and a major transatlantic and transpacific hub, typically serving full-service carriers like Delta, American, and international airlines as well as several premium global alliances. It’s about 16 miles southeast of Midtown Manhattan; travel options include the AirTrain plus Long Island Rail Road (roughly 35–50 minutes), express buses and taxis (45–75 minutes), with fares varying by service and time of day. JFK can be convenient for long-haul and connecting flights but may be busy and spread out, so allow extra time for transfers and security. LaGuardia Airport (LGA) functions largely as a short-haul and domestic-focused airport, often favored by regional and low-cost carriers such as JetBlue and many Delta flights. Located in Queens roughly 8 miles from Midtown Manhattan, typical transfers include buses, taxis or rideshares (20–40 minutes) and the soon-to-be-completed rail link; fares are usually modest compared with longer airport routes. LaGuardia can be quicker for domestic travel due to proximity, though it can feel congested and has fewer long-haul options and limited international service. Newark Liberty International (EWR) is an important Northeast hub serving both domestic and international routes, commonly used by United Airlines and other network carriers. Situated in Newark, New Jersey, it’s about 16 miles from Midtown Manhattan; passengers often choose NJ Transit or Amtrak via the AirTrain plus rail connections (30–45 minutes), shuttle buses, or taxis and rideshares (35–60 minutes), with costs depending on mode. Newark can offer competitive fares and extensive connections but may require longer ground transfers and can be subject to airport and tunnel traffic delays.
