For the EU, fly to London Stansted airport, as it has amazing direct 30-minute train connection to Cambridge, and then Uber/Bus, but you can also catch another 3min train to Cambridge North and then walk. ​For the USA/Rest: Heathrow and Gatwick are both fine, but assume a train ride of 2/3h to Cambridge.
