John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) serves as New York’s primary international gateway and a major long-haul hub, typically handling most transatlantic and Caribbean services as well as many domestic flights. Major network carriers such as Delta, American and JetBlue operate significant schedules here alongside many international airlines; fares can be mid-to-high relative to budget-focused airports. JFK is about 15–20 miles from Midtown Manhattan; transit options include the AirTrain plus subway (~50–70 minutes; $10–$15 total) and taxis or rideshares (~45–75 minutes; fare varies by traffic). Pros: broad destination choice and robust ground links; cons: terminals and connections can be time-consuming during peak periods.
LaGuardia Airport (LGA) typically functions as New York’s primary short-haul and domestic airport, often favored for Northeast corridor and domestic leisure/business flights. It’s commonly served by domestic carriers and low-cost airlines, which can make it comparatively budget-friendly for short-haul routes. LaGuardia sits roughly 8–10 miles from Midtown Manhattan; travel options include buses and subway connections (~30–50 minutes; $2.75 plus any shuttle) and taxis/rideshares (~20–40 minutes; fares depend on traffic). Pros: close to the city and quick for many domestic connections; cons: fewer international routes and can be crowded with variable on-time performance.
Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) acts as a key international and domestic hub for the New York metro area, often used by United and numerous international carriers for transatlantic and transcontinental services. Fares can be similar to JFK depending on carrier and timing, with some travelers finding better deals on certain routes. Newark is located about 16–20 miles from Midtown Manhattan; options include the AirTrain to NJ Transit or Amtrak (~35–50 minutes; $15–$25), and taxis or rideshares (~35–60 minutes; price varies). Pros: strong hub connectivity and frequent flights; cons: in New Jersey with potentially longer transfers to Manhattan and occasional congestion at peak times.
Mexico City is served primarily by Mexico City International Airport (AICM), a major international hub handling most full-service carriers and many regional connections; it typically feels busy and can be pricier than smaller airports. The newer Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA) opened to relieve capacity and often attracts low-cost and some domestic flights, with fares sometimes perceived as more budget-friendly. AICM sits about 8–15 km (roughly 20–40 minutes) from the historic center by car, accessible via taxi, app-based rides, and metro/Metrobus connections with fares usually in the low single-digit USD range; AIFA is farther north, around 40–50 km (an hour or more) with shuttle buses, taxis and limited public transit options at comparable or slightly higher fares. Pros: AICM offers many international connections and extensive ground transport; AIFA can be less crowded and cheaper. Cons: both airports can experience traffic delays and longer transfer times between them, and AICM may feel congested during peak hours.
