NYC Airport Comparison Summary
The five NYC-area airports each have a clear use case. LaGuardia (LGA) wins on distance and price — 8 miles from Midtown and the most direct sedan flat at $170 — but the airport handles mostly domestic flights and some Air Canada international. JFK is the international powerhouse with 62M+ passengers, 100+ international carriers across 5 terminals (1, 4, 5, 7, 8), and the broadest Asia and trans-Pacific network. Newark (EWR) is the United hub at Terminal C with strong international service and the best Manhattan-side option for FiDi/Hoboken/Tribeca pickups via the Holland Tunnel. Teterboro (TEB) is the private aviation airport closest to Manhattan, with FBO operations at Atlantic Aviation, Signature Flight Support, Meridian, Jet Aviation, and Million Air. Westchester County (HPN) is the regional pick for Connecticut and Westchester locals — 35 miles from Manhattan but only 8 miles from Greenwich. Sedan pricing starts from $170 (LGA); S-Class and Sprinter totals are confirmed in the booking form, and tolls are confirmed in the quote. None of these rates surge, ever. For international travelers, the call is JFK; for Manhattan domestic, it's LGA; for NJ-side Manhattan, it's EWR; for private jet, it's TEB; for CT/Westchester, it's HPN.

Insider Tips: NYC Airport Transfers
JFK has more international options and is non-negotiable for Asia routes (Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Korean Air all hub here at Terminals 1, 4, 7, 8). EWR is the underrated NYC airport — Terminal C United business class is fast through security, and from FiDi/Hoboken/Tribeca it’s often faster than JFK because the Holland or Lincoln Tunnel beats the Van Wyck. Teterboro (TEB) is the only private aviation airport inside the NYC commute zone — Atlantic Aviation, Signature, and Meridian FBOs all sit on Industrial Avenue, 12 miles from Manhattan. HPN is the regional hide — 35 miles from Manhattan but only 8 miles from Greenwich, CT, so for Westchester or Fairfield County clients HPN beats LGA by 30 minutes door-to-door. NYC Marathon Sunday (first Sunday in November) closes most Manhattan crossings 8 AM – 4 PM; airport runs require afternoon flights only. Last point: when international arrivals at JFK Terminal 4 stack up at customs, the 60-minute international wait window covers it; do not pre-pay for "expedited" or "rush" customs services that don’t actually exist.
