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.
