The fastest way to get around whilst in New York is by subway. You’ll find a station around every corner, and the city’s grid layout makes navigating the subway system straightforward. Take a yellow cab for short trips, but to get a real feel for the city, nothing beats walking.

The 2nd Most Connected Airport In The World: New York JFK's 5 Largest Airlines By Scheduled Seats

  • JFK Airport is highly international, hosting flights operated by a plethora of carriers.
  • The top five most prominent include Virgin Atlantic, British Airways, American Airlines, JetBlue, and Delta Air Lines.
  • Flying with UK-based airlines will get you across the pond, while US-based carriers offer an impressive number of services in any direction.

New York City's JFK Airport is the second most internationally connected airport in the world according to data gathered by OAG (the most internationally connected city in the world is London's Heathrow Airport ). Over 90 airlines operate from JFK, offering flights to all inhabited continents and destinations far and wide. According to Cirium , an aviation analytics company, the five top international airlines operating at JFK by inbound and outbound flights in 2024 are Virgin Atlantic, British Airways, American Airlines, JetBlue, and Delta Air Lines. Perhaps surprisingly, United Airlines (one of the United States' largest airlines) does not operate from JFK; it has a major hub at Newark Liberty Airport, just over the border on the New Jersey side.

Virgin Atlantic

Virgin atlantic operates transatlantic flights out of jfk's terminal 4 to the united kingdom..

Virgin Atlantic is the fifth-busiest airline operating out of JFK's Terminal 4. A British airline, Virgin Atlantic operates a mix of Boeing and Airbus widebody aircraft and has its main base at London Heathrow (its secondary hub is at Manchester). The routes Virgin Atlantic offers from JFK are to London Heathrow and Manchester.

Virgin Atlantic recently made headlines when its Boeing 787 Dreamliner collided with a British Airways Airbus A350 at Heathrow. The incident was relatively minor, with the wing tip colliding with the horizontal stabilizer. Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Australia are the two remaining airlines of the Virgin empire (other Virgin group airlines like Little Red, Virgin America, Virgin Express, and Virgin Sun Airlines are no more).

The Virgin Group Airlines: A Summary

British airways, british airways operates transatlantic flights from jfk's terminal 8 to gatwick and heathrow in london ..

British Airways is the flag carrier of the UK and the country's second-largest airline (behind easyJet). It is headquartered in London, close to its principal hub, London Heathrow. In 2018, Forbes reported British Airways took in a record $1,037,724,867 from flying passengers between London and New York over a 12-month period. This is the first time in history that an airline managed to generate over a billion dollars on a single air route within a year.

From JFK, British Airways only operates flights to London. That said, these flights go to London's two busiest airports - London Gatwick and Heathrow. British Airways is a founding member of the oneworld Alliance and one of the most recognizable airline brands in the world.

American Airlines

American airlines operates international flights worldwide out of jfk's terminal 8..

American Airlines is the third-busiest international airline operating at JFK and operating international flights to Europe, the Caribbean, the United Kingdom, Mexico, East Asia, South America, and elsewhere. In all, American Airlines flies to almost 350 destinations in nearly 50 countries. When measured by fleet size and scheduled passengers carried, American Airlines is the largest airline in the world.

American Airlines operates around 67,000 flights annually out of Terminal 8 (primarily catering to high-demand destinations by local New Yorkers). JFK is American Airlines' principal transatlantic hub and has around 13% of the market share at the airport. Its main New York domestic hub is New York-LaGuardia.

(Still) The World's Largest: The American Airlines Fleet In 2024

Jetblue operates international flights primarily to the greater caribbean area out of jfk's terminals 4 and 5..

JetBlue is the second-busiest international airline operating out of JFK and is one of America's largest low-cost airlines. JetBlue is headquartered in Long Island City in Queens with JFK serving as the airline's main hub. JetBlue flies to around 108 destinations domestically and internationally and is the sixth-largest US airline. JFK and Boston Logan Airport have about 30% of JetBlue's outbound flights, and it operates from JFK's Terminals 4 and 5.

JetBlue has a strong focus on the greater Caribbean holidays. The vast bulk of its international flights are in the Mexico-Carribean-Central American-northern South American area. It operates only a limited number of routes outside of that - primarily to Western Europe.

Delta Air Lines

Delta air lines operates international flights to europe, the americas, and beyond out of jfk's terminal 4..

Delta Air Lines is the busiest airline at JFK and one of the oldest airlines in the world. It is ranked among the largest airlines in the world (and the largest when measured by revenue). It is headquartered in Atlanta, with the powerhouse Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport being its busiest hub overall. However, JFK is actually the US legacy carrier's busiest international hub. Delta is a founding member of the SkyTeam airline alliance, and, according to Skytrax , it is the best airline in North America. Even though Delta, by a considerable margin, has the largest market share at JFK, it solely operates from Terminal 4.

Delta serves around 325 destinations in over 50 countries on all six inhabited continents. Delta is arguably the only airline offering truly global destinations from JFK Airport. It offers flights to Europe, Mexico, Israel, the Caribbean, South America, and more. From Scotland to Greece, Delta offers many flights to Europe.

On the road in New York

New York may offer up everything under the sun, but don’t restrict your explorations to city limits – head out into New York State and you’ll discover even more to love about this East Coast destination. Whether it’s a tranquil getaway to the Hamptons, a beachside party in Fire Island, or a weekend escape in a New York State B&B, the Empire State is just the ticket for day-trippers and weekend warriors.

Five of the best Long Island beaches

The Long Island Coast

Out-of-towners may not associate New York with its beaches, but venture just beyond Brooklyn and Queens and into Long Island, and you’ll discover miles of beautiful, sandy coastlines. Whether you opt for a popular state park or a more secluded stretch, a day at the beach  is day-trip perfection. And if you want to combine your lounging with some culture, take a trip to Long Island’s Gold Coast  on the north shore, where the likes of the Astors and the Vanderbilts constructed their mansions.

The Hamptons

Located on the eastern tip of Long Island, The Hamptons  are as ritzy as it gets – if you need proof, just know that F. Scott Fitzgerald set The Great Gatsby here. Follow the New York elite out to this beachy haven, where you can rent a luxurious beach house, experience the chic shopping scene, and sample award-winning fine dining.

Fire Island

A hop, skip, and a jump from the city, Fire Island  is a perfect party destination; every summer, members of New York’s LGBT community flock here for memorable nights out and a spirit of inclusiveness. But beyond the revelry, visitors to Fire Island will also discover a tranquil retreat, with placid beaches, quiet boardwalks, and other seaside amusements on tap.

Gastronomic New York State

New York City might be made for food lovers, but the culinary delights don’t end once you leave town. New York State has plenty of its own unique temptations. Visitors with a sweet tooth will want to go on a maple syrup tour , where they can try the syrup, maple candies, and other sugary treats. And a trip to New York State’s artisan distilleries  is also sure to tempt – plan to sample everything from rye whiskey to berry vodka.

New York State Weekend Retreats

For those moments when you crave a bit of peace and quiet in the City that never Sleeps, renting a room at a New York State B&B  can be the perfect tonic. From the Finger Lakes to Niagara, these cosy and characterful stays are one of the best ways to get acquainted with New York’s rural charms. If you crave a little adventure, you can also head out of town on two wheels, thanks to the state’s network of exceptional bike trails , where you’ll uncover some truly breathtaking scenery.

Virgin rating

trips to new york virgin

Feel like you’ve been here before? You have, in the movies anyway. From Home Alone 2 and Bride Wars, to Sleepless in Seattle, the location has proved a blockbuster backdrop for some firm film favourites. The Plaza certainly lives up to its name, and being a National Historic Landmark it’s full of old-world elegance and grandeur. Just south of Central Park, there’s plenty of places to eat and drink right on your doorstep, but some of the hotel’s own restaurants are not to be missed. And not forgetting the aptly named Champange Bar, where you can sip on some bubbles whilst looking out on Fifth Avenue and The Pulitzer Fountain.
