Pros: extensive global connections and wide amenities; cons: can be busy with longer security and transfer times and fares that can climb during peak periods.
LaGuardia Airport (LGA) functions mainly as a domestic and short-haul regional airport, favoured by business travelers for quick access to NYC and operated largely by U.S. carriers and a few low-cost lines. Situated in northern Queens roughly 8 miles from Midtown Manhattan, travel options include MTA buses and subway connections (30–50 minutes, low fares), taxis and rideshares (20–40 minutes, costlier), and private shuttles. Pros: proximity to Manhattan and frequent flights to the U.S. East Coast; cons: fewer international services and can be constrained by runway and terminal capacity, which may impact delays.

Located in New Jersey about 16 miles from Midtown Manhattan, common transfers are NJ Transit and Amtrak via the AirTrain connection (30–50 minutes, typically reasonable fares), buses, and taxis/rideshares (30–60 minutes, variable). Pros: strong long-haul connectivity and frequent service; cons: distance and border-crossing traffic can add time and sometimes extra fees for ground transport.
