New York is served by three major airports across two states, so choosing the right airport is one of the biggest levers on both price and door-to-door time.
Airports
JFK · John F. Kennedy International Queens. The largest gateway for international flights, with an AirTrain link to subway and commuter rail.
LGA · LaGuardia Queens. The closest of the three to Midtown, focused on domestic and nearby routes.
EWR · Newark Liberty International New Jersey. Often convenient for Lower and West Manhattan, with a rail link to Penn Station.
Best time to go
Spring (April to June) and fall (September to early November) bring the mildest weather. December fills up with holiday visitors, and late summer can be hot and humid.
Getting around
Subway, commuter rail and buses link all three airports to Manhattan. Taxis and ride-hail are everywhere but depend heavily on traffic.
Travel notes
Winter storms and summer thunderstorms are the usual causes of delays, so leave extra connection time in those seasons.
