New York is served by three major airports with different roles. John F. Kennedy International (JFK) functions as the primary international gateway and a long-haul hub for legacy carriers and many global airlines; it sits about 15–20 miles southeast of Midtown Manhattan, with an AirTrain–subway connection typically taking 45–60 minutes and costing in the moderate range, while taxis and rideshares can be faster but pricier. LaGuardia (LGA) is a closer, predominantly domestic and short-haul airport in Queens, roughly 8–10 miles from Midtown; buses and taxis usually take 20–40 minutes depending on traffic, and fares tend to be lower than long-distance transfers. Newark Liberty (EWR), technically in New Jersey, acts as a major international and transcontinental hub for several carriers; it’s about 16–20 miles from central Manhattan with an airport express train plus local transit taking around 35–50 minutes and shuttle or taxi options often costing more. Pros: JFK and Newark offer extensive international connections and more airline choices; LaGuardia can be quicker for domestic trips. Cons: all three can be subject to heavy traffic or variable transit times, and transfer costs vary by time and service chosen.

Uytash Airport (MCX) serves Makhachkala as the region’s main commercial gateway and typically functions as a regional/international hub for North Caucasus connections. You’ll most often find flights from Aeroflot, S7, and various Russian carriers, plus seasonal routes that can be cheaper than long-haul alternatives. The airport sits about 25–35 km southeast of the city center; travel by taxi or private transfer usually takes around 30–50 minutes depending on traffic, while local buses and marshrutkas can take 50–70 minutes for a lower fare. Taxis are more convenient but pricier; buses are economical yet can be slower and less comfortable. For many travelers the airport is practical for onward regional travel, though limited international facilities and variable service levels can be a downside.

In different months, ticket prices from New York to Makhachkala vary: minimum — $433 (November 2025), maximum — $515 (December 2025). Typically, the flight costs $474–$515.
