Depends on where in the city you are.

LGA and JFK are great if you're in Queens, but if you're in Manhattan it might be easier to take the train to EWR.

LGA is super easy from BK as well.

Jfk is super easy from certain parts of Brooklyn. 45 mins on the train. I would often take the train over Uber to avoid traffic.

It takes me 15 - 20 minutes to get to LGA from the UES except during rush hour. If you want to do EWR you can also look into NJ transit which will take you right from Penn Station to the airport

LGA is super easy from the Upper East Side, but if you live downtown, EWR can be a better choice sometimes.

Your use of the word “commute” makes me think you’ll be going to EWR on work travel. Getting to the airport in the morning via car from HK is super easy

EWR is great from the west side of Manhattan. LGA is not bad either. I try to avoid jfk when I can

I’m in Manhattan, Hells Kitchen area. Which airport would be better for regular Monday/Thursday travel?

I also live in HK. Honestly all the airports take an hour from HK. The E goes to LGA and JFK, you can take a bus/AirTrain to each. I like JFK the most - EWR takes 3 trains from our area (subway to Penn, NJT to EWR, shuttle within EWR to terminal). JFK is the E to the end of the line and then the AirTrain to the terminals.

You can get to either LGA or JFK by train. You do last leg from train to LGA by car but it’s very doable. Totally depends where in city you are. JFK easier from downtown. LGA easier from Midtown.
