John F. Kennedy International (JFK) is New York’s primary international gateway and a full-service hub for many global carriers, typically handling long-haul and intercontinental flights alongside major U.S. airlines. It’s about 15 miles from midtown Manhattan, with links via the AirTrain to LIRR and subway — journeys to Penn Station can be under 30 minutes on the LIRR or about an hour by subway and AirTrain combined. Taxis and ride-shares to Manhattan usually take 40–75 minutes depending on traffic and can run higher than rail options; combined rail fares are commonly in the low-double digits, while door-to-door transfers are often pricier. Pros: excellent international connectivity and multiple airline choices. Cons: size and distance can mean longer transfer times and peak-hour congestion.

Alfonso Bonilla Aragón (CLO), often called Palmaseca, is Cali’s main international gateway and a regional hub for southwestern Colombia. It typically serves a mix of full-service carriers (e.g., Avianca, LATAM, regional connections) alongside low-cost operators, so fares can be competitive for domestic routes and mid-range for international flights. The airport sits outside the city in Palmira, usually about 30–50 minutes from downtown depending on traffic. Typical ground options include taxis or ride-hailing (~30–50 min, rough fares vary by season), shared airport shuttles or collective vans (cheaper but slower), and intercity buses or local transit for budget travelers. The terminal is modern with cafes and basic services, but peak periods can be busy and the out-of-town location means you should allow extra time for transfers.
