Take a flight from New York to Lisbon to get lost in the city’s beauty

When you are flying out from NYC to a new country or a continent outside America you are left with a choice of choosing one of the three international airports: John F Kennedy International Airport (IATA code JFK), LaGuardia Airport (IATA code LGA) and Newark Liberty International Airport (IATA code EWR) as your departing airport in NYC. JFK and LGA are located in Queens Borough of New York while EWR lies in Newark in the neighboring state of New Jersey. All the three airports are in close proximity to each other.

Selecting the best airports between New York and Lisbon

Alternatively you can choose to fly from EWR to LIS or LGA to LIS but the only catch with these routes is you will find more deals on connecting flight with layover / stopover option than non-stop flights across these two less preferred routes.
