John F. Kennedy International (JFK) is New York’s primary international gateway and a major hub for full-service carriers, typically serving transatlantic and long-haul flights as well as many domestic routes. It’s about 15–20 miles from Midtown Manhattan; travel times can range from 35–75 minutes by car depending on traffic, or about 50–75 minutes by public transit using the AirTrain plus subway/LIRR, with fares usually covering the AirTrain fee plus a subway/train fare. JFK offers extensive lounge and connection options but can be busy and involve long walking distances between terminals. LaGuardia (LGA) tends to focus on domestic and short-haul services and is often used by legacy and low-cost carriers for regional flights. Located roughly 8–10 miles from Midtown, it’s typically a 20–45 minute drive, while bus plus subway combinations can take 35–60 minutes; fares are modest but road congestion can add time and stress. LGA is convenient for short city trips but has fewer international services and more limited amenities compared with larger hubs. Newark Liberty International (EWR), across the Hudson in New Jersey, functions as a significant international and domestic hub for transcontinental and transatlantic routes, often operated by legacy carriers. It sits about 16–20 miles from Midtown Manhattan; drive times are commonly 30–60 minutes, or 30–45 minutes by NJ Transit/Amtrak via the AirTrain connection to Newark Liberty and Penn Station, with fares varying by service level. Newark can be a good option for certain international flights and connections yet may feel less centrally located and can involve tolls or heavier traffic depending on approach.
