Yes, for most travelers arriving in the United States, an eSIM is significantly easier and more convenient than purchasing a physical SIM card at the airport.
Buying a physical SIM at major US airports like JFK, LAX, or ORD often means navigating kiosks, waiting in lines, dealing with sales processes, and potentially paying inflated prices. You also face the hassle of physically swapping cards, which can mean misplacing your home SIM.
