John F. Kennedy International (JFK) is New York’s largest international gateway and a major transatlantic hub, typically serving full-service carriers and many long-haul flights. Located about 15 miles (24 km) from Manhattan, travel times usually range from 40–70 minutes by taxi or rideshare depending on traffic, or about 60–80 minutes by AirTrain plus subway; shuttle and private car services are also common. Fares can be higher for door-to-door taxi trips while public transit is the cheapest option. Pros: extensive international connections and amenities; cons: can be busy and subject to traffic delays for ground transfers. LaGuardia Airport (LGA) functions primarily as New York’s domestic and short-haul airport, often favored by budget and legacy carriers for U.S. and Canadian routes. It lies roughly 8 miles (13 km) from central Manhattan, so taxi or rideshare transfers usually take 20–40 minutes in normal traffic; several buses and shuttles connect to subway hubs with similar durations at lower cost. Ground fares tend to be moderate for taxis and quite low for public transit. Pros: convenient for domestic travel and shorter transfer times; cons: fewer long-haul flights and can feel congested during peak periods. Newark Liberty International (EWR) in nearby New Jersey is a significant international and domestic hub that frequently handles transcontinental and transatlantic services, often used by both full-service and some low-cost carriers. It sits about 16 miles (25 km) from Manhattan; typical travel by car or taxi can take 30–60 minutes depending on traffic, while the AirTrain plus NJ Transit or Amtrak offers a reliable rail option in roughly 30–50 minutes. Train fares usually undercut taxis, though private transfers are pricier. Pros: strong long-haul connectivity and rail links; cons: located across state lines which can add complexity for some travelers.

Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) serves as the region’s main international and domestic gateway, blending full-service carriers and a growing number of low-cost airlines. Located about 20 miles (roughly 25–35 minutes by car) west of downtown, it’s typically reached by car, rideshare, or the Port Authority bus route 28, with fares and travel times varying by traffic and operator. PIT is usually perceived as competitively priced compared with larger hubs, and parking and lounge options tend to be comfortable and modern. Pros: efficient layout and quieter terminals; cons: longer transfer times to the city center and fewer nonstop global connections than major U.S. coastal hubs.
