What airport should i fly into?
By far the best option is flying into Newark Liberty Airport (EWR). It is the closest and the most convenient airport to reach, with ground transportation options ranging from rental car, to train and shuttle services. Another option would be John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK), but it is further away and traffic around Manhatten often makes travel times unpredictable.
For domestic flights, LaGuardia Airport (LGA), Atlantic City Airport (ACY), and Philadelphia Airport (PHL) are additional options, but all of them being a little further away. LaGuardia, in particular, is inconvenient due to traffic around Manhattan.
