About New York

The New York area is served by several airports and offers one of the widest ranges of long-haul departures in the United States.

Arrival and airport experience

Confirm which area airport your itinerary uses; they are far apart and not easily interchangeable.

Getting around

Subway, commuter rail, rideshare, and taxi serve all boroughs and nearby New Jersey.

Where travelers usually stay

Manhattan is central but costly; Brooklyn and Queens offer alternatives with good transit.

Airport-area hotels

Airport-area hotels are useful before early international departures.

Family travel notes

Plan around transit accessibility if traveling with a stroller; not all stations have elevators.

Seasonal considerations

Winter storms can disrupt flights; spring and autumn are generally mild.

Local etiquette

Keep to the right on sidewalks and let passengers exit trains before boarding.
