When looking at flights to New York City, you will likely have seen flights arriving at two of the three NYC airports, JFK Airport, Newark Airport, and LaGuardia Airport. The right airport for you will depend on where you are flying from and on what airline, where your accommodations are in the city, and your budget. This post aims to help you decide which one is the best airport to fly into NYC. Overview of New York Airports There are three major airports in the NYC area that we cover in this post in detail all international airports John F. Kennedy Airport JFK LaGuardia Airport LGA Newark Liberty Airport EWR There are also 2 other airports that are less important for tourists to NYC. Teterboro Airport - This airport in New Jersey services mostly small personal use planes and private jets. New York Stewart International Aiport SWF - Arlines such as Aligient, Southwest Airlines, American Airlines, and Delta Airlines fly here from Florida airports. However, it's a roughly 90 min to 2-hour ride to Midtown Manhattan from the airport. As you can see from this map of the airports, Newark is in New Jersey but is so close to New York City that it is included as an airport when you search for flights to NYC. JFK and Newark are very large airports that serve both domestic and international airlines. In 2019, nearly 100 million passengers passed through these airports combined. LaGuardia is a smaller airport and the closest to Manhattan. It serves mostly domestic flights but does have a few international flights, mostly to/from Canada and the Caribbean. All three are accessible by public transportation and private transport as well. TIP Before your arrival, you may want to look at our post on getting around New York City. It includes information on using the subway, bus, taxis, Uber or Lyft. John F. Kennedy Airport JFK JFK is located in the borough of Queens and is about 15 miles 23 km from Manhattan. It's a hub for many airlines and receives the bulk of international flights arriving in NYC. If you are flying British Airways, Lufthansa, or Delta, you will likely be flying into JFK. While international fares may be higher than if you flew into Newark Airport, JFK has some nice perks. For example, public transportation to and from JFK is very easy to use and inexpensive. If you take JFK's AirTrain and connect with a subway, you will spend just $ payable with an MTA MetroCard, to get from the airport to your destination. Using the AirTran, you'll be able to catch the E, J, and Z subway lines at Jamaica Station. For the A train, take the AirTrain to Howard Beach station. Two things to consider if opting for public transportation. While the signage is easy to follow, you may have to walk as much as 15 minutes from your gate to get to the AirTrain. JFK is a big airport! Also, if you arrive in the middle of the night, due to delays, you may not feel as comfortable taking the subway as you would if you arrived at a busy hour. If you opt to take a taxi from JFK to any location in Manhattan you will pay a flat rate of $70, plus additional charges, like a $5 surcharge for peak hours 4 pm-8 pm. A taxi to destinations outside of Manhattan depends on where you are going. JFK is close to some neighborhoods in the southern parts of Brooklyn anywhere lower than Williamsburg and Queens. In terms of other aspects of JFK, it is in fairly good condition and has the infrastructure to handle a large capacity of travelers. Another nice aspect of JFK is that it has comfortable lounges, upscale shops, and excellent food options. JFK is due to undergo a $10 billion renovation starting in 2022 with an estimated completion date of 2030. While the result will be fabulous, it is possible that this could have an impact on the ease of your airport transfer. Read our in-depth post How to Get from JFK Airport to Manhattan. LaGuardia Airport LGA LaGuardia, like JFK, is located in the borough of Queens and is 8 miles 13 km from Midtown Manhattan. After decades of use without any major repairs, LaGuardia has just undergone six years of much-needed renovations to Terminal B. LaGuardia is now much easier to navigate and is also quite attractive! It is becoming the airport of choice for many domestic flyers. Delta’s new $4 billion worth of renovations to Terminal C, completed in 2022, is destined to make LaGuardia the choice of airport for Delta flyers. The big perk of flying into LaGuardia is the cost of public transportation from the airport to your destination in NYC just $ Taking a combination of bus and subway, you can reach Midtown Manhattan in between 50 to 90 minutes. But saving money comes with a cost. Travel time can be drastically extended depending on traffic. The bus from the airport can be crowded, leaving little room for your luggage. Also, be prepared to carry your luggage up and down stairs since not all subway stations have elevators or escalators. If you are not on a super-tight budget, you may want to take a taxi as it will be faster than public transportation and less of a hassle. Taxis from LaGuardia depend on your destination but are usually $30-$40, not including a tip and bridge/tunnel tolls. Your travel time will vary depending on your destination, but generally into Midtown Manhattan, it will take between 20-30 minutes. Note that travel time can vary greatly based on traffic conditions. During rush hours 8 am-9 am and 3 pm-7 pm, you may find yourself sitting in your taxi at a total standstill. TIP If you want the best views of the NYC skyline when landing, pick LaGuardia. It might be the most thrilling landing you have ever experienced! Read about getting from LaGuardia Airport to Manhattan. Newark Airport EWR Newark Airport is located in New Jersey, 17 miles from Manhattan. Airfares into Newark are sometimes less expensive than into the other two airports, making it an enticing airport to fly into. But the savings may not end up being worth it depending on which transportation option you choose. If you take public transportation you will pay about $15 to travel to Penn Station. From there you will then have to pay $ for your subway ride unless your hotel is within walking distance. The travel time is relatively short about 30 minutes. But you will change trains three times. First, you will take Newark’s AirTrain to Newark Penn Station, then switch to a New Jersey Transit train going to New York Penn Station, where you can transfer to the subway. If you have lots of luggage, Newark is not for you! Should you opt for a taxi, expect to pay between $60 to $80 plus tolls. There go those savings in airfare out the window! Unless you are saving money by flying into Newark, you may be better off with JFK or LaGuardia, given the cost of ground transportation.

WASHINGTON AP — The pilot of a business jet that flew over Washington and crashed in a remote part of Virginia appeared to be slumped over and unresponsive, three officials said Monday, recounting observations by fighter pilots who intercepted the wayward revelations came as federal investigators trudged through rugged terrain to reach the site where the plane slammed into a mountain Sunday, killing four people. The officials who said that the fighter pilots saw the civilian pilot slumped over had been briefed on the matter and spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss details of the military plane’s owner told news outlets that his daughter and 2-year-old granddaughter were New York-bound plane took an erratic flight path — inexplicably, turning around over Long Island to fly directly over the nation’s capital — which prompted the military to scramble fighter jets. This caused a sonic boom heard in Washington, Maryland and terrain around the crash site posed major challenges to the investigation. It took investigators several hours to hike into the rural area near the community of Montebello, about 60 miles 97 kilometers southwest of Charlottesville, said NTSB spokesperson Eric Weiss. They expect to be on the scene for at least three to four days. Speaking at a briefing Monday morning, NTSB investigator Adam Gerhardt said the wreckage is “highly fragmented” and investigators will examine the most delicate evidence at the site, after which the wreckage will be moved, perhaps by helicopter, to Delaware, where it can be further examined. The plane is not required to have a flight recorder but it is possible that there are other avionics equipment that will have data that they can examine, Gerhardt Virginia State Police issued a statement saying that because of the severity of the crash, human remains will be transported to the state medical examiner’s office for autopsy and identification. The Federal Aviation Administration said that the victims included the pilot and three passengers but didn’t release their names. There were no will look at when the pilot became unresponsive and why aircraft flew the path that it did, Gerhardt said. They will consider several factors that are routinely examined in such probes including the plane, its engines, weather conditions, pilot qualifications and maintenance records, he said. A preliminary report will be released in 10 days. According to a timetable released late Monday by NTSB spokesperson Jennifer Gabris, the plane took off from Elizabethton Municipal Airport in Tennessee at 113 Sunday, headed for MacArthur Airport in Long Island, Air Traffic Control lost communication with the airplane during its information indicates the last ATC communication attempt with the airplane was at approximately 128 when the plane was at 31,000 feet 9,449 meters. The plane climbed to 34,000 feet 10,363 kilometers, where it remained for the rest of the flight until 323 when it began to descend and crashed about nine minutes later. The plane was flying at 34,000 feet 10,363 kilometers, when it flew over MacArthur Airport at 233 the NTSB White House expressed its “deepest condolences” on Monday to the family of those on board the plane. “We need to keep them front and center,” National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby deferred questions about a follow-up report on the security response over Washington airspace to the Pentagon and Secret Service. But he said, “What I saw was just a classic, textbook response.”The White House was continuously informed as the military jets tried to contact the pilot of the civilian plane and monitored the small aircraft’s path from Washington airspace to rural Virginia, Kirby Traffic Control audio from the half-hour before the plane crashed captures voices that identify themselves as military pilots trying to communicate with the pilot of the private plane, according to recordings on “If you hear this transmission, contact us,” said one pilot who identifies herself as being with the Air National Guard. Several minutes later, a military pilot says “You have been intercepted. Contact me.”The plane flew directly over the nation’s capital. According to the Pentagon, six F-16 fighter jets were immediately deployed to intercept the plane. Two aircraft from the 113th Fighter Wing, out of Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, were the first to reach the Cessna Citation to begin attempts to contact the pilot. Two F-16 aircraft out of New Jersey and two from South Carolina also tracking sites showed the plane suffered a rapid spiraling descent, dropping at one point at a rate of more than 30,000 feet 9,144 meters per minute before crashing in the St. Mary’s Wilderness. In Fairfax, Virginia, Travis Thornton was settled on a couch next to his wife, Hannah, and had just begun recording himself playing guitar and harmonica when they were startled by a loud rumble and rattling that can be heard on the video. The couple jumped up to investigate. Thornton tweeted that they checked in with their kids upstairs and then he went outside to check the house and talk to neighbors. The plane that crashed was registered to Encore Motors of Melbourne Inc, which is based in Florida. John Rumpel, a pilot who runs the company said his family was returning to their home in East Hampton, on Long Island, after visiting his house in North told the New York Times he didn’t have much information from authorities but suggested the plane could have lost pressurization. “It descended at 20,000 feet a minute, and nobody could survive a crash from that speed,” Rumpel told the interviews with the Times and Newsday, Rumpel identified his daughter, Adina Azarian, and 2-year-old granddaughter Aria, as two of the 49, was well-known in real estate circles both in New York City and Long Island, described by friends and relatives as a fiercely competitive entrepreneur who started her own brokerage and was raising her daughter as a single parent.“Being a mom was everything to her,” said Tara Brivic-Looper, a close friend who grew up with Azarian on the Upper East Side. “That they were together at the end is fitting.”Friends say Azarian moved to East Hampton fulltime to raise Aria, with the help of a nanny. But she made frequent trips back home, bringing both Aria and the nanny to meet her tight-knit extended family on multiple occasions in recent months.“She seemed so happy out there,” her cousin, Andrew Azarian, recalled. “Both of their lives hadn’t even started.” “How could this happen?” he continued. “No one can explain it.”___ Brumfield reported from Silver Spring, Maryland. Associated Press reporter Jake Offenhartz and researcher Rhonda Shafner in New York, and White House Correspondent Zeke Miller contributed to this report.

Why Everyone Is Suddenly Talking About AliensA new report of secretive government programs investigating “non-human” vehicles and “pilots” bears a striking resemblance to many that came / GettyIf ever a headline has demanded a wide-eyed, scrambling-to-click reaction, it might be this one “Intelligence Officials Say Has Retrieved Craft of Non-human Origin.”A website called The Debrief—which says it specializes in “frontier science” and describes itself as self-funded—reported this week that a former intelligence official named David Grusch said that the government has spent decades secretly recovering “intact vehicles” and “partial fragments” that weren’t made by humans. A section of The Debrief is dedicated to coverage of UFOs. Officials, Grusch said, sought to avoid congressional oversight while reverse-engineering these materials for the government’s own purposes. In a separate interview with NewsNation, which has advertised itself as an alternative to major cable networks, Grusch said the military had even discovered the “dead pilots” of these craft. “Believe it or not, as fantastical as that sounds, it’s true,” he account has spread quickly across social media and been repeated by news outlets including The Guardian, Fox News, and New York magazine, as well as plenty of local network affiliates. And why wouldn’t it be? This story has everything a seemingly authoritative source spilling secrets about a government operation designed to keep the American public in the dark. Oh, and aliens. The only problem is, there’s nothing backing it since UFOs—now also known as UAPs, for “unidentified anomalous phenomena”—first became a cultural sensation, in the technology-fueled postwar era, people have latched onto stories like this one. The cycle has usually moved this way Someone with military or government experience comes forward with a strange experience or encounter. They have no hard evidence but, given their background, are perceived by some to be a reliable observer anyway. Tabloids amplify the story, fanning public interest and demanding that the government reveal whatever it must be hiding. Officials deny that they’ve found evidence of extraterrestrial activity, which only fuels conspiracy thinking. “This is familiar territory,” Greg Eghigian, a historian at Pennsylvania State University who has studied UFO culture, told me. And it never leads anywhere A new age of UFO maniaThe UFO playbook dates back to one of the first major sightings, in 1947, when the pilot Kenneth Arnold said he saw nine flashing objects in the sky over Washington State, maneuvering in strange ways and flying at tremendous speeds. Coverage of Arnold’s account popularized the term flying saucer, and everyone ran with it, including Donald Keyhoe, a Marine Corps major turned writer. Keyhoe claimed that, although he hadn’t seen any of it himself, military officials had studied some flying saucers and concluded that the craft were of alien origin, but they were told to never disclose the facts, Eghigian said. Keyhoe’s writings, which were widely published, cemented two narratives that have become “part and parcel of the UFO world for decades,” Eghigian said First, that “we have conclusive proof that aliens are visiting Earth,” and second, that “it’s being covered up by the government in some way.”Grusch’s story is already hitting the same beats. Like Keyhoe, Grusch does not appear to have seen the alleged alien craft himself. He says he has seen documents detailing the retrieval of mysterious hardware, but we, the readers, are privy only to his testimony about what they contain. Although the authors of the article say that Grusch’s comments were “cleared for open publication” by the Department of Defense, all that means is that the remarks do not contain classified information, not that they have been verified to be as in Keyhoe’s case, the military denied a cover-up. The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, or AARO, a Defense Department entity established last year and charged with reviewing UFO reports, said in a statement on Monday that it “has not discovered any verifiable information to substantiate claims that any programs regarding the possession or reverse-engineering of extraterrestrial materials have existed in the past or exist currently.”Read NASA learns the ugly truth about UFOsThe problem is, in every instance so far of the UFO-mania cycle, the government, too, is effectively asking Americans to take it at its word. Anything juicier than “We don’t have evidence”—anything that would provide more clarity, even—is classified, and the government has little incentive to share it. Government officials also have a documented history of lying to the American people. “Even when they’ve tried to come clean in some ways over the years, whether it’s declassified materials about Roswell or the new AARO project—it just doesn’t convince people,” Eghigian said. He’s referring to an incident from the same year as the Arnold affair, when a mysterious craft crashed in Roswell, New Mexico. Even though the military said it was just a high-altitude balloon, alien wreckage has since become a staple of UFO culture. Grusch’s miraculous claims are unlikely to be proved or disproved; Eghigian describes either outcome as “virtually impossible.”Before this week, the Keyhoe script played out most recently in 2017, when The New York Times and other outlets revealed the existence of a covert program at the Pentagon dedicated to cataloging UFOs, known as the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, or AATIP. The whistleblower at the center of that story was its former director, Luis Elizondo, who said he quit because of what the Times summarized as “excessive secrecy and internal opposition.” The authors of the new Debrief story also worked on the 2017 Times piece. The Times included in its coverage video footage from the Navy that showed unexplained objects moving through the sky. The cycle began to move at warp speed. The public was rapt and suspicious; the government made denials that seemed to only muddy the Times coverage and the intense public reaction prompted Congress to hold hearings on UFOs, and to direct defense and intelligence agencies to provide reports on UAPs. That’s another part of the playbook. “Faced with citizens who expect their leaders to demystify the potentially dangerous mystery, the government has historically tried to not always in good faith,” wrote Sarah Scoles, a science journalist, in They Are Already Here UFO Culture and Why We See Saucers. The first official government program dealing with UFOs emerged in the late 1940s, soon after Arnold’s account of mysterious flashes. Lawmakers have already begun calling for official meetings about Grusch’s claims of alien wreckage. Any resulting reports and hearings, however, are doomed to be anticlimactic, as lacking in big reveals as other such events have been throughout history. And so we remain The UFO trapThe Grusch cycle reminds me of a story that Scoles recounts in her book, told to her by Chris Rutkowski, a respected figure in the UFO community who has written about the topic since the 1970s. A woman once told Rutkowski all about how extraterrestrials had brought her on board their spaceship and shared their wisdom with her. When Rutkowski asked her if she had any proof, she showed him her arm. The aliens, she said, had operated on her, and their medical technology was so sophisticated that it didn’t leave a mark. The absence of a scar, she said, was told The Debrief that the government is sure that the alleged recovered debris is not terrestrial because of “the vehicle morphologies and material science testing and the possession of unique atomic arrangements and radiological signatures.” But does he have any proof? So far, the best evidence he’s come up with, besides his own word, is the government’s denial. What Grusch is doing now, along with anyone who takes him at his word, is presenting an outstretched arm and saying, See?
