John F. Kennedy International (JFK) serves as New York City’s primary international gateway and a major transatlantic hub, handling a broad mix of legacy carriers and many global airlines; it can be pricier for long-haul routes compared with domestic-focused airports. Located about 15–20 miles from Midtown Manhattan, travel options include the AirTrain connecting to NYC Subway/Long Island Rail Road (roughly 45–75 minutes, fares around the combined AirTrain + subway/LIRR cost), taxis or rideshares (45–70 minutes, fares vary widely), and airport shuttles. Pros: extensive long-haul connections and full-service amenities; cons: peak congestion and potentially longer transfer times within terminals.
LaGuardia Airport (LGA) is primarily a domestic and short-haul regional airport emphasizing convenience for U.S. travel and many low-cost and legacy carriers; fares can be competitive on short routes but may rise during busy periods. Roughly 8–10 miles from Midtown Manhattan, common transfers include city buses and subway connections via the Q70 bus to the 7 train and the M60 or taxi/rideshare services (20–45 minutes depending on traffic; fares vary), plus private shuttles. Pros: closer to Manhattan and quicker for domestic itineraries; cons: fewer international nonstop options and variable congestion during rush hours.
Newark Liberty International (EWR) functions as a major regional and international airport with a strong presence of legacy carriers and several transcontinental services; it is often competitively priced for both domestic and international flights. Situated in Newark, New Jersey, about 15–20 miles from Midtown Manhattan, passengers can use the AirTrain to NJ Transit or Amtrak at Newark Liberty International Airport station (roughly 30–50 minutes to Manhattan, combined fares apply), taxis/rideshares (30–60 minutes), and shuttle services. Pros: robust long-haul routes and good rail connections; cons: located across state lines and can be less convenient for some Manhattan neighborhoods.
Saint Petersburg is served primarily by Pulkovo (LED), the city’s main international gateway and full-service hub that typically handles most long-haul and European flights. Major carriers and network airlines usually operate here alongside a number of full-service and some low-cost connections; fares can be mid-range to premium depending on season. Pulkovo sits about 23 km south of central Saint Petersburg — taxi rides commonly take 30–50 minutes and can cost roughly in the mid-range for Russia, while public buses and marshrutkas usually take 40–60 minutes for a lower fare. Pros: direct international connectivity and a broad range of services; cons: travel time to center can be significant during peak traffic.
In addition to Pulkovo, Saint Petersburg has smaller airfields used for general aviation, cargo or regional flights and occasional budget operators; these are typically domestic or charter-focused and can be closer to specific suburbs. These secondary fields usually have fewer passenger services and limited ground transport options, so travelers may need a taxi or pre-arranged transfer; travel times and costs vary by location. Pros: may offer convenience for point-to-point regional trips; cons: limited amenities and fewer scheduled connections compared with the main airport.
