New York is served by three major passenger airports with distinct roles. John F. Kennedy International (JFK) is the city’s primary international gateway and a hub for long-haul and premium carriers; it’s located about 16 miles (25 km) southeast of Midtown Manhattan. Options to the city center include the AirTrain combined with subway (around 45–60 minutes) or taxis and rideshares (40–70 minutes depending on traffic); fares can range from modest transit fees to taxi metered rates. LaGuardia (LGA) typically handles domestic and short-haul flights and is the closest to Manhattan, roughly 8 miles (13 km) from Midtown; travel times by taxi or rideshare are often 20–40 minutes, while buses and the soon-to-be-connected transit options take longer but are cheaper. Newark Liberty (EWR), technically in New Jersey, functions as a major transatlantic and domestic hub and can be 15–20 miles (24–32 km) from central Manhattan; transit via the AirTrain plus NJ Transit or PATH can be around 30–50 minutes, with taxis and rideshares typically taking 30–60 minutes depending on traffic. JFK and Newark are usually seen as better for international and full-service carriers, while LaGuardia can be perceived as more budget-friendly for U.S. domestic routes. Pros across airports include multiple transport choices and frequent flights; cons can be congestion, variability in travel time due to traffic, and differing comfort levels in terminals.

Ulan-Ude’s Baikal International Airport (UUD) serves as the city’s main air gateway and typically handles most regional and some international flights, while smaller airfields play a minor role for local hops. Carriers are usually Russian domestic airlines with occasional international connections, and fares can be perceived as mid-range compared with Moscow routes. The airport lies roughly 12–20 km southeast of the city center; taxis and private transfers take about 20–35 minutes depending on traffic, with fares commonly in a modest range for Russia, while local buses can take 40–60 minutes for a lower cost. Pros: relatively compact and straightforward to navigate; Cons: limited frequency of long-haul services and fewer airport amenities than larger hubs.
