John F. Kennedy International (JFK) is New York’s largest international gateway and typically functions as the city’s premium long‑haul hub, hosting full‑service carriers and many transatlantic and transpacific flights. It sits about 15 miles southeast of Midtown Manhattan; travel time by AirTrain + subway or LIRR can be roughly 35–60 minutes depending on connections, with fares generally ranging from modest public‑transit fees to higher express‑train tickets. Taxis and rideshares are common for door‑to‑door convenience but can be slower in peak traffic and cost considerably more. Pros: extensive international routes and amenities; Cons: size and busy terminals can make transfers feel time‑consuming. LaGuardia Airport (LGA) is often positioned as New York’s primary short‑haul and domestic hub, favored by many legacy and low‑cost carriers for frequent business and leisure routes across the U.S. It lies about 8 miles from Midtown Manhattan; Bronx/LGA buses plus subway combinations or taxis typically take 20–40 minutes depending on traffic, with public‑transit fares being low and rideshare/taxi fares higher. Renovations have improved terminals and passenger experience, but the airport can still be congested and limited on long‑haul connections. Pros: close to Manhattan and convenient for U.S. trips; Cons: fewer international flights and potential road delays. Newark Liberty International (EWR), technically in New Jersey, serves as a major international and domestic hub for several carriers and can be a cost‑competitive alternative to NYC airports. It’s approximately 15–20 miles from Midtown Manhattan; the AirTrain to NJ Transit or Amtrak plus local transit usually takes 30–50 minutes, with fares varying by train class and distance. Taxis and rideshares offer direct service but are subject to tolls and rush‑hour congestion. Pros: strong airline networks and often good pricing on certain routes; Cons: less central location for Manhattan and occasional ground‑transport variability.

Sarasota is primarily served by Sarasota–Bradenton International Airport (SRQ), a mid-sized regional gateway that typically handles domestic and seasonal international flights rather than large long-haul services. You’ll often find legacy carriers and a range of low-cost airlines offering connections to major hubs; fares can be competitive for short-haul travel but may rise during peak season. SRQ lies about 6–10 miles from downtown Sarasota (roughly 15–25 minutes by car) and is reachable by taxi, ride-hail, rental car or local bus; expect fares from modest fixed taxi/ride-hail rates to a few dollars on public transit. The airport is generally convenient and compact—easy to navigate with short transfer times—but options for late-night flights or extensive international connections can be limited compared with larger Florida hubs.
