Travel Note

Flying to New York

There are three major NYC area airports: John F Kennedy (JFK), Newark (EWR), and LaGuardia (LGA). Most airfare search engines will allow you to enter "NYC" for the airport code and provide options for all three. We strongly recommend opting for JFK (located in Queens) and EWR (located in Newark, NJ). LGA is under long-term renovations and prone to significant delays and cancellations.
