Newark Liberty International (EWR) serves as a major international and domestic hub for the New York metro area, often handling a mix of legacy carriers and international airlines alongside some low-cost operators. It can be perceived as mid-to-premium priced for flights compared with nearby options. The airport lies in Newark, New Jersey, roughly 15–20 miles from Manhattan; transit choices include NJ Transit and Amtrak to New York Penn Station (about 25–35 minutes plus transfer time, fares variable), the AirTrain+PATH combo to downtown (longer and typically cheaper), and taxis or rideshares taking 30–60 minutes depending on traffic with higher fares during peak times. Pros: extensive international connections and robust ground links; cons: can be busy, with variable traffic and occasional longer transfer times to central Manhattan.
Kuala Lumpur is served mainly by Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL), a large international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers, and Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (SZB), which typically caters to some domestic and low-cost regional flights. KUL lies about 45–60 km south of the city center and is often considered the primary gateway for international travel; journeys by KLIA Ekspres train usually take around 28 minutes to KL Sentral, while taxis or rideshares can take 45–70 minutes depending on traffic with fares varying by service and time. SZB is closer to central Kuala Lumpur—roughly 20–25 km—and can be reached by taxi in 30–50 minutes. Pros: KUL offers extensive international connections and modern transfer facilities; SZB can be more convenient for budget or domestic hops. Cons: KUL’s distance can add transfer time and cost, and both airports can be busy during peak travel periods.
