Kennedy International (JFK) is New York’s main international gateway and a major long-haul hub, typically serving legacy carriers and many global airlines alongside some low-cost transatlantic services. Fares from JFK can be mid- to higher-range for long-haul routes, though bargains do appear. The airport sits about 15–20 miles southeast of Midtown Manhattan; travel options include the AirTrain plus subway or Long Island Rail Road (35–60 minutes, fares usually in the $2.75–$15 range), taxis and rideshares (30–60 minutes, metered or variable fares), and express buses. Pros: many international connections and full-service amenities; cons: can be busy with longer transfer times and occasional congestion. LaGuardia Airport (LGA) functions mainly as a domestic and short-haul regional airport, typically favored by legacy carriers and domestic low-cost operators. Tickets from LGA are often priced competitively for U.S. routes, especially on business-heavy itineraries. It lies roughly 8–10 miles from Midtown Manhattan; ground transport includes city buses and the MTA subway via bus connections (30–50 minutes, low fares around $2.75), rideshares or taxis (20–40 minutes, variable fares), and limited airport shuttles. Pros: closer to Manhattan with shorter transfer times; cons: fewer international flights and more limited long-haul amenities compared with JFK. Newark Liberty International (EWR) serves as a major international and domestic hub for several full-service carriers and can be a competitive alternative to JFK, often with similar long-haul connectivity. Prices can vary broadly but EWR sometimes offers lower fares on transcontinental and transatlantic routes. The airport is located in New Jersey about 16–20 miles southwest of Midtown Manhattan; typical transfers include NJ Transit or Amtrak via the AirTrain connection (30–50 minutes, fares generally in the $5–$25 range), taxis and rideshares (30–60 minutes, variable fares), and private airport shuttles. Pros: strong hub operations and good long-haul options; cons: located across state lines with occasional peak-hour congestion and variable transfer times.
Zurich Airport (ZRH) is Switzerland’s primary international hub, handling a mix of long-haul and European point-to-point traffic and serving as a major base for premium carrier Swiss International Air Lines alongside numerous full-service and low-cost operators. Located about 10–13 km north of central Zurich, the airport is typically seen as mid-to-higher priced relative to budget-focused airports, reflecting Switzerland’s overall cost levels. Frequent S-Bahn trains link the airport to Zurich HB in roughly 10–15 minutes (fares are usually in the low single-digit CHF range), while trams, regional buses, taxis and ride-hailing services take 20–30 minutes depending on traffic at higher cost. Pros: fast rail connections, modern facilities and good transfer options; cons: pricing can be steeper and peak crowds may add time to security and passport control.
