TRAVEL INFORMATION

Getting into the city from the 3 major area airports

• Air travelers to New York City may arrive at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) or LaGuardia Airport (LGA), both in Queens, or Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) in neighboring New Jersey. LaGuardia primarily serves domestic destinations, and also offers flights to select Canadian and Caribbean destinations. Kennedy and Newark both serve domestic and international destinations. Visitors can reach Manhattan from all three airports by using taxis, buses, subways and/or commuter trains.
• It is strongly recommended that NYC commuters at any Airport ignore rides from solicitors, and any unmarked taxi cabs. Also, don't accept help from any non-uniformed official at the Airport. 

John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is approximately 15 miles from Midtown Manhattan. Here's how to get to Midtown Manhattan from JFK: 

• Taxi: $52.50 flat fare (non-metered), plus bridge and tunnel tolls and gratuity; 30 to 60 minutes to Midtown Manhattan, depending on traffic and road conditions. NY taxi cabs are available at the JFK Airport at each terminal's arrivals area.
