Nonstop Flights from New York

New York's Three Airports Explained

JFK (John F. Kennedy International) is New York's main international hub and the airport to use for most transatlantic and transpacific nonstop flights. Home to Delta's Terminal 4 superHub and American Airlines' international operations, JFK connects to virtually every major city in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and beyond.

EWR (Newark Liberty International), technically in New Jersey but considered a New York airport, is United Airlines' primary East Coast hub. Newark often has cheaper fares than JFK for the same routes and serves many of the same transatlantic destinations. Don't overlook it.

LGA (LaGuardia) handles primarily domestic routes and is not a hub for long-haul international flights. Use it for US and Canadian destinations, not overseas travel.

Tips for Nonstop Flights from New York

• Compare JFK vs EWR. United's Newark hub often undercuts JFK prices to Europe by $100–300 on the same route.
• Singapore Airlines' ultra-long-haul. The JFK–Singapore route (SQ24/SQ25) is one of the longest nonstop flights in the world at 18+ hours — for travelers who want to get to Southeast Asia without any connections, it's unbeatable.
• Book domestic nonstops early. New York to Los Angeles, Chicago, and Miami are among the busiest air corridors in the US — fares jump sharply as the flight fills up.
• Check both JFK and EWR when searching on Skyscanner — set your departure city to "New York (All airports)" to see results from all three airports at once.
