Three airports |
| There are three airports that feed into New York City: JFK, LaGuardia and Newark. It's important to note that NONE of those airports are actually located in New York City. |
LAGUARDIA |
| Laguardia is located in Queens and is the closest airport to Manhattan. A cab ride, with little traffic, will only take about 20 minutes to Midtown East and should cost around $20 (+ tip). |
JFK |
JFK is located farther out in Long Island. It's about a 45-minute cab ride to/from the city. When traveling to Manhattan (from JFK) it's always SAFEST to take a Yellow NYC Cab. There will be many town car drivers trying to solicit your business but unless you're familiar with the City, I don't recommend taking them from the airport. The Yellow Cabs are governed by the transit authority and must adhere to stricter policies. In addition, they charge a FLAT RATE from the Airport (which is currently $45+tip/tolls) so you always know what to expect. When you land, just look for the signs leading to the Taxi Station.
There is also PUBLIC transport from JFK that runs about $7 for the entire trip via train/subway. It's a great way to save money but it's a lot more work than hopping in a cab and can take an hour or more. If you have a lot of people/luggage, taxis are your best option. If, however, you don't mind changing trains and carrying your luggage up/down stairs then look for the signs leading to the "AIR TRAIN". Once you arrive at the Air Train terminal, be sure to ask one of the helpers for advice on buying the correct ticket. |
NEWARK |
| NEWARK is located in New Jersey and is approximately 16 miles from Midtown Manhattan. While the Air Train from JFK can be quite cumbersome, the Air Train from Newark is relatively easy to use and much faster/cheaper than taking a cab or bus. The one-way trip costs about $12 and will land you at Penn Station. Once you arrive in Newark, just look for signs leading to the "AIR TRAIN" terminal. There are helpers standing by to answer questions. |
