🗺️ New York Airport Strategies: Premium Edition
JFK is your go-to for ALL long-haul premium cabin flights - Emirates, Etihad, Cathay Pacific, Japan Airlines, and all major European carriers operate from JFK. Terminal 1 handles most international premium carriers; Terminal 4 covers Delta and some partners.
Newark (EWR) is United Airlines' hub - making it ideal for United Polaris Business Class to Europe and the Middle East. EWR also tends to have less congestion than JFK, making it easier for premium travelers to use the United Club lounges.
LaGuardia is strictly domestic - no international flights operate from LGA, so for any transatlantic, transpacific, or Middle East routes, head to JFK or Newark.
Transit tip for JFK: The AirTrain connecting JFK terminals to the subway (A train or Jamaica LIRR) costs just $8.50 and can be faster than a cab during rush hour. Premium travelers should consider a car service from Manhattan for reliability.
Transit tip for Newark: The NJ Transit train from Penn Station to Newark Airport is fast, affordable, and runs frequently - ideal if you're flying United Business Class and want to arrive relaxed.
Hidden gem: Emirates' A380 service from JFK to Dubai (EK201/202) offers one of the world's best onboard Business Class experiences - the Economy fares we've listed also include access to decent in-flight entertainment and service standards well above typical airlines.
