Make sure to check the times the LIRR leaves before you head there.

If you’re going between 4 pm and 8 pm, you’ll pay the peak time fare of $10.75, otherwise, it’s $4 on weekends with a City Ticket ( click here for info on how to buy that). Travel time: 45 minutes (from Penn Station)Ĭost: $11.75 – 18.50 (depending on day and time)ĭirections: Take the LIRR (Long Island Railroad) train from Penn Station to Jamaica (a 20-minute ride). These 30 minutes are not factored into the travel time I wrote.ĭirections: Swipe your MetroCard ($2.75 per swipe) and take the E train (blue line) to “Sutphin Blvd – Archer Av – JFK station”. From there walk three minutes then take the escalator one flight up, swipe your MetroCard to pay a flat $7.75 fee, and hop on the AirTrain that connects you with all JFK Terminals, starting with 1 and swinging around to 8. Reverse these directions to get from the airport to Manhattan. Travel time: 1 hour to 1.5 hours from midtown Manhattan. Note: If you are leaving for the airport between the hours of 10 pm and 6 am expect to potentially wait up to 30 minutes for the subway train.

I only recommend taking a taxi to the airport if you are traveling between the hours of 10pm and 6am, or have a lot of luggage that would make it difficult to carry on public transportation. One thing to keep in mind is that you should not take a taxi to the airport during rush hour because you will be stuck in terrible traffic and potentially miss your flight. On the other hand, if you’re in a group of 4 then it is only $20 per person which is a pretty good price. If you’re traveling on a budget then I recommend reading my budget guide to New York here. If you are traveling alone that is pricey. For example, I recently took a taxi to JFK from Manhattan and it cost me $80. However, it can be expensive so I only recommend doing it if you’re traveling in a group of 3 or more because then you can split the cost. Is taking a taxi to the airport the easiest way to get there? Simply choose the airport that offers the least expensive ticket.
