Phoenix is served mainly by Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), the region’s primary international and domestic hub handling legacy carriers and low-cost airlines alike; it typically offers a wide range of nonstop routes and can be pricier than smaller nearby fields. Phoenix-Mesa Gateway (AZA) acts more as a budget-leaning alternative with several low-cost carriers and fewer connections. Sky Harbor sits about 3–5 miles from downtown Phoenix, reachable by light rail or taxi/rideshare in roughly 10–20 minutes; fares for public transit are modest while rideshares can be moderate depending on demand. Pros: extensive nonstop options and frequent services at Sky Harbor. Cons: can be busy at peak times; Mesa requires longer travel time into central Phoenix.

Newark Liberty International (EWR) serves as a major international and transatlantic hub for New York’s metro area, often handling a mix of legacy carriers and international airlines alongside some low-cost ops. Situated in Newark, New Jersey, it’s about 16 miles from Midtown Manhattan; travel time is typically 25–45 minutes by train (AirTrain + NJ Transit) or 30–60 minutes by car depending on traffic. Taxis and ride-shares can be convenient but can cost more than public transit, while express buses offer a budget option. Pros: extensive long-haul connectivity and frequent ground links; cons: can be busy and subject to traffic delays for road transfers. John F. Kennedy International (JFK) is New York’s primary international gateway, commonly used by full-service carriers as well as many long-haul and premium international flights. Located in southeastern Queens roughly 15–18 miles from Midtown, typical journeys take 35–60 minutes by car and 45–70 minutes by public transit (AirTrain to subway/LIRR), with fares varying by service and time of day. Rental cars and shuttles are widely available. Pros: broad global connections and multiple airline lounges; cons: terminal distances can require additional transfer time and peak-hour congestion is frequent. LaGuardia Airport (LGA) functions mainly as a domestic and short-haul gateway, often favored by domestic full-service and low-cost carriers for quick city access. It lies in northern Queens about 8–10 miles from Midtown Manhattan; typical travel times are 15–35 minutes by car and 35–55 minutes by bus/subway combinations, with fares generally lower than car or taxi options. Pros: shortest travel distance to Manhattan and frequent shuttle services; cons: fewer international routes and, until recently, limited ground transport options compared with JFK and EWR, which can affect comfort during busy periods. Stewart International (SWF) and smaller regional fields can be alternatives for budget-conscious travelers or specific low-cost routes, usually serving seasonal or charter flights rather than being core hubs. SWF is around 60–65 miles from Manhattan, with travel times often exceeding 90 minutes by car or coach; fares for longer ground transfers can vary widely. Pros: sometimes lower fares and less crowded facilities; cons: longer transfer times to the city and fewer frequent flight options, which can reduce convenience for tight itineraries.
