Newark Liberty International (EWR) serves as a major international hub for the New York metro area with a strong presence of legacy carriers and many transatlantic and transcontinental flights. Located in Newark, New Jersey, it’s typically favored by business travelers for its broad route network and can be perceived as mid- to premium-priced compared with nearby options. The airport is about 16 miles (25 km) from Midtown Manhattan; travelers usually take NJ Transit or Amtrak to Penn Station (around 25–35 minutes, fares roughly $15–30) or the AirTrain plus PATH/subway options that can take 35–50 minutes. Pros: extensive international connections and modern terminals; cons: occasional congestion, variable ground-transport costs and border-crossing logistics.

Fly nonstop from New York to London for the fastest, most convenient way to cross the Atlantic—less time in transit and more time exploring or relaxing onboard. Direct flights cut out layovers for a smoother journey, though connecting options can sometimes be cheaper; if you value time and comfort, a nonstop is well worth booking.

London is served by several airports that cater to different traveller needs. Heathrow is the city’s main international hub, typically handling long-haul and premium carriers and often priced higher for convenience; it lies about 23 km west of central London and is reachable by the Heathrow Express (15–20 minutes, premium fares), the Elizabeth Line or Piccadilly Line (30–60 minutes, standard fares), and taxis or rideshares (variable time and cost). Gatwick to the south is a large international airport popular with both full-service and low-cost airlines, usually offering a wider range of budget options; it is roughly 45 km from central London with Gatwick Express trains (30 minutes) and coach services (about 60–90 minutes). Stansted and Luton are primarily budget-oriented, favored by low-cost carriers and often perceived as cheaper but further out: Stansted is about 64 km northeast with Stansted Express to Liverpool Street (35–50 minutes) and coaches into the city, while Luton sits roughly 55 km northwest, linked by shuttle plus rail or direct coach (about 40–70 minutes). London City Airport serves business travellers with short-haul and city-friendly services, located close to Canary Wharf (about 10 km east of central London) and connected by the DLR and short taxi rides (10–25 minutes). Pros include broad airline choice and frequent connections; cons can be longer transfers from some airports, variable fares, and peak-time terminal crowding depending on the airport.
