Editorial snapshot
Flying to New York rewards the planner. Book domestic routes four to six weeks out for the best fares; international travellers should aim for eight to twelve weeks ahead, especially for summer and December. The sheer number of airlines means competition keeps prices honest on most corridors. It suits the culture obsessive, the business traveller, and anyone who wants a city that will outlast their itinerary by approximately forty years.

IATA: JFK · 25 km from Midtown Manhattan · 18 km from Downtown Brooklyn
JFK is New York's primary international gateway, with six active terminals handling carriers from every major world region. Terminal 4 is the largest and busiest, home to Delta's international operations and many overseas airlines. Immigration queues can be lengthy during peak hours, so build at least 90 minutes into your connection time if transiting.
| Transport | Cost (approx) | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| AirTrain + Subway (E/J/Z) | USD 10-11 total | 50-70 min to Midtown |
| Shared ride shuttle | USD 20-30 per person | 45-75 min depending on traffic |
| Yellow taxi / rideshare | USD 55-85 flat rate to Manhattan | 35-60 min, longer in rush hour |
IATA: LGA · 13 km from Midtown Manhattan · 8 km from Astoria, Queens
LaGuardia serves primarily domestic US destinations and a handful of Canadian routes, with Delta and American Airlines dominating the schedule. The recently rebuilt Terminal B is genuinely impressive, though Terminal C and D remain older. There is no rail link, so ground transport times are entirely at the mercy of New York traffic.
| Transport | Cost (approx) | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| M60 Select Bus + Subway | USD 2.90 (subway fare) | 40-60 min to Midtown |
| Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) | USD 25-50 depending on surge | 20-45 min to Midtown |
| NYC Express Bus Q70 | USD 2.90 | 10-15 min to Jackson Heights subway |
IATA: EWR · 24 km from Midtown Manhattan · 26 km from Downtown Manhattan
Newark is United Airlines' major East Coast hub and also handles a solid roster of international carriers. Technically in New Jersey, it is well-connected to Manhattan via the AirTrain and NJ Transit rail link. Terminal C is United's home and the most modern of the three terminals; Terminals A and B are older but functional.
| Transport | Cost (approx) | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| AirTrain + NJ Transit to Penn Station | USD 15-17 total | 35-50 min to Midtown |
| Shared ride shuttle | USD 25-35 per person | 40-70 min depending on traffic |
| Yellow taxi / rideshare | USD 60-90 to Midtown Manhattan | 30-55 min, longer in peak hours |
