John F. Kennedy International (JFK) is New York’s primary international gateway and a major hub for long‑haul and transatlantic carriers, often handling premium and full‑service airlines alongside some low‑cost long‑haul options. Located about 15–20 miles southeast of Midtown Manhattan, journeys into the city typically take 35–60 minutes by taxi or rideshare (fares vary by traffic and surcharges) and 45–75 minutes by the AirTrain plus subway or Long Island Rail Road (combined fares usually in the moderate range). Pros: extensive international connectivity and full passenger services; cons: can be crowded and subject to heavy traffic at peak times. LaGuardia Airport (LGA) functions primarily as a domestic and short‑haul regional airport, commonly used by legacy carriers and many budget airlines for quick access to the city. It sits roughly 8–10 miles from Midtown Manhattan, with travel times often ranging from 20–45 minutes by taxi or rideshare depending on congestion; public buses and shuttle services can take about 30–60 minutes with much lower fares. Pros: close to Manhattan and convenient for domestic itineraries; cons: more limited international service and sometimes older terminal layouts that can feel cramped during busy periods. Newark Liberty International (EWR) serves as a major Northeast hub with strong international and domestic connectivity, frequently used by legacy carriers and several global airlines. Situated in New Jersey about 16–20 miles from Midtown Manhattan, onward travel is typically 25–50 minutes by taxi or rideshare (fares reflect distance and tolls) and about 30–50 minutes via NJ Transit or Amtrak trains connecting through the airport’s AirTrain. Pros: robust schedule and often competitive fares for international routes; cons: can be less convenient for Manhattan access compared with closer airports, and transfers may include tolls and multiple modes of transport.
Ottawa Macdonald–Cartier International (YOW) serves as the city’s main international gateway and typically handles a mix of domestic flights and seasonal international services. It’s commonly used by full-service carriers and a handful of low-cost airlines, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on route and season. The airport lies about 10–12 km south of downtown Ottawa; taxis and rideshares usually take 15–25 minutes, while OC Transpo buses (routes 97/118 and the nearby O-Train connections) can take 25–40 minutes with modest fares. Pros: compact layout and relatively short security lines make connections convenient. Cons: fewer nonstop long-haul options than major transcontinental hubs.
