Newark Liberty International (EWR) serves as a major international hub for the New York metro, often handling a mix of full-service carriers and several international long-haul flights. It can be a cost-competitive option versus Manhattan airports, especially for transatlantic and connecting routings. Located about 16 miles from Midtown Manhattan, ground options include NJ Transit or Amtrak trains to Penn Station (roughly 25–35 minutes, fares generally in the modest range), airport shuttles, taxis and rideshares (30–60 minutes depending on traffic, fares vary). Pros: extensive international connectivity and frequent departures; cons: can feel busy and subject to congestion during peak periods. John F. Kennedy International (JFK) is the primary international gateway typically dominated by full-service and many global carriers, and it usually offers the broadest range of long-haul flights. Situated roughly 15–20 miles from central Manhattan, transport choices include the AirTrain plus NYC Subway or Long Island Rail Road (about 40–60 minutes; moderate fares), express buses, taxis and rideshares (30–70 minutes depending on traffic). Pros: extensive airline network and amenities; cons: transfers to the city can be slower and costs can add up with luggage or rush-hour traffic. LaGuardia Airport (LGA) is generally positioned as a domestic and short-haul airport, often favored by budget-conscious carriers and domestic business travelers for its close-in location. It sits approximately 8–10 miles from Midtown Manhattan, with buses and shuttles connecting to subway lines (20–40 minutes; low to moderate fares), plus taxis and rideshares (20–45 minutes depending on traffic). Pros: proximity to Manhattan and frequent domestic schedules; cons: more limited international service and can feel cramped during peak times. Stewart International (SWF), located farther out in New Windsor, can be a lower-cost alternative used mainly by seasonal and some low-cost carriers, typically for leisure-oriented routes. It’s around 60–70 miles from Midtown Manhattan, with fewer public transport links; travel usually involves regional buses, occasional train+shuttle combinations or driving (about 90–120 minutes; fares and availability can vary). Pros: potential for cheaper fares and lower crowds; cons: much longer transfer times to the city and limited flight frequency. Teterboro Airport (TEB) primarily serves private, charter and business aviation rather than scheduled commercial flights, so it’s typically not used for regular airline travel. Located about 12 miles from Midtown Manhattan in New Jersey, it offers rapid access by car for private flyers (20–40 minutes), but public transport options are minimal. Pros: exceptional convenience for private and business travelers; cons: not an option for most commercial airline passengers and can be costly for charter services.
