Leaving New York City

New York City is the most populated city in the United States, with more than 8 million people making their homes in the five boroughs. The city boasts an enormous and well-connected public transportation system and is served by three major airports. LaGuardia Airport in Queens offers domestic flights to Denver each day on many airlines, including Frontier, Southwest, and United. John F. Kennedy International Airport, also located in Queens, serves up daily nonstop flights to Denver on JetBlue and Delta. Finally, travelers can depart from Newark Liberty International Airport, just across the river in Newark, New Jersey, and catch a nonstop flight to Denver on United.

All three airports are accessible by car, taxi, and public transportation. Frequently heavy traffic encourages many passengers to travel on public transit. City bus service runs directly to LaGuardia Airport, and JFK and Newark are both accessible via AirTrain service, which connects to both New Jersey Transit and the New York City subway system. For those who drive, parking is available for both short-term and long-term stays at each airport. Prices run approximately $33 a day. The three airports each offer a number of dining options for departing travelers, including fast food options like McDonald's and Starbucks.
