New York (JFK)
John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) serves as New York City’s premier international gateway, located in the borough of Queens. It is a massive facility featuring six active terminals and acts as a major hub for Delta Air Lines, JetBlue, and American Airlines. Travelers can easily access JFK via the AirTrain from the Long Island Rail Road or the New York City Subway, providing a reliable alternative to the often congested Van Wyck Expressway. The airport offers an array of high-end dining, luxury shopping, and several premium lounges to enjoy before your cross-country departure.
San Diego (SAN)
San Diego International Airport (SAN) is uniquely situated just three miles northwest of the downtown area, offering passengers spectacular views of the skyline and the San Diego Bay during their final approach.

Upon landing, travelers benefit from the airport's central location, which allows for quick and affordable transit to popular neighborhoods like Little Italy, the Gaslamp Quarter, and Balboa Park via rideshare services or the 'Flyer' shuttle connecting to the local trolley system.
