Which is closer to downtown Manhattan John F. Kennedy airport or LaGuardia?

This is a bit of a tricky question. JFK is much further south than LaGuardia, making it much closer to downtown Manhattan, north/south-wise. But JFK is also much further east than LaGuardia, making LaGuardia technically closer as the crow flies (meaning, if you were to draw an imaginary, direct line between the two).
Basically, if you were to draw a straight line west (northwest, actually) from LaGuardia to Manhattan, the line would hit upper Manhattan (at around 116th Street or so). If you were to draw a straight line (north)west from JFK to Manhattan, the line would hit lower (downtown) Manhattan, a little bit south of 14th Street. But since JFK is much further east, the drive in miles from LaGuardia to downtown Manhattan is still a bit shorter than the drive in miles from JFK to downtown Manhattan.

∙ 13y agoNewark Airport is closer, but only by a few miles. Newark is roughly 8 miles from Lower Manhattan as the crow flies (meaning, if you were to draw an imaginary straight line between them on the map), while JFK is roughly 12 miles from Lower Manhattan as the crow flies.
