John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is New York’s primary international gateway and a full-service hub for many legacy carriers, so it typically handles the bulk of transatlantic and long-haul flights. Located about 15–20 miles from Midtown Manhattan, travel times can range from 40–75 minutes by car depending on traffic; the AirTrain plus subway can take roughly 60–75 minutes with combined fares commonly in the single-digit dollars. Pros: extensive international connections and airport amenities; cons: congestion and variable transfer times during peak hours.
LaGuardia Airport (LGA) functions mainly as a domestic and short-haul airport serving the New York metro and is often used by domestic business travelers and budget-conscious flyers. It lies around 8–10 miles from Midtown Manhattan and typically takes 20–35 minutes by car off-peak; public buses and taxis provide direct links with fares varying by route and meter rates. Pros: closer to Manhattan and faster ground transfers when traffic cooperates; cons: fewer long-haul options and can be crowded during rush periods.
Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), technically in New Jersey, serves as a major transatlantic and domestic gateway with a strong presence of legacy carriers and some international services. Situated about 15–20 miles from Midtown Manhattan, travel times to Manhattan can be 30–60+ minutes by car depending on traffic; the AirTrain plus NJ Transit or Amtrak can take roughly 35–50 minutes with medium-range fares. Pros: good long-haul connectivity and robust rail links; cons: can be less convenient for some Manhattan arrivals and may involve bridge/tunnel traffic delays.
Almaty International Airport (ALA) is Kazakhstan’s primary international gateway and usually functions as a full-service hub handling most long-haul and regional flights; you can expect a mix of national carrier services and international airlines.

Pros include modern facilities and frequent international connections; potential downsides are variable transit times in peak traffic and occasional queueing during busy periods.
