Travel 101: Which Airport Should I Fly to in New York City? Travel 101: Which airport should I fly to in New York City? July 24, 7:09 AM Pamela Notar - Rochester International Travel Examiner Traveling to New York City can be exciting, but deciding which airport to fly into can be confusing. Some airlines only fly into certain airports, while other airlines fly into multiple NYC airports. Here is an explanation to the pros and cons of New York City airports so that you can make the best decision for your travel plans. Remember, the cheapest flight doesn’t always mean the cheapest trip! John F Kennedy (JFK) International: JFK Airport is located in Queens and handles the majority of New York’s international flights. However, you can easily get a domestic flight that flies into JFK. While JFK airport is the farthest from Manhattan, it is the only airport that has a direct connection to the NYC Subway system. Subway: For $2, you can take the subway into Manhattan, which is significantly cheaper than taking a taxi. Take the AirTrain to Howard Beach or Jamaica Center, and take the blue line into Manhattan from there. However, travel time is around 1 hour and it may be difficult for travelers with heavy luggage (there are some stairs that need to be tackled). Bus: Take the New York Airport Service Express Bus, which stops at Grand Central, 8th & 42nd, and Penn Station. Bus is $13 and takes around 45 minutes to an hour. Taxi: Taxis into Manhattan from JFK take 30-60 minutes and cost a flat rate of $45, not including tolls and tipping. LaGuardia (LGA) International: LaGuardia Airport (LGA) is also located in Queens and handles mostly domestic flights, although you can get an international flight through LGA. Unlike JFK, the subway does not run directly to LaGuardia. Bus: You can take the M60 bus for $2 which will drop you off at 116th and Broadway, from which you can then take a taxi or the subway. New York Airport Service Express Bus: Take this bus, which stops at Grand Central, 8th & 42nd, and Penn Station. Bus is $10 and takes around 40 minutes to an hour. Shuttle: Express Shuttle USA will pick you up after you go to the ground transportation desk. One way fare is $13 and has several stops in Manhattan. Taxi: A taxi from LGA costs between $16 and $26, not including tolls and tipping, and takes between 20 and 35 minutes. While flying into LaGuardia may be the closer choice, it will most likely be more expensive to get into Manhattan. Newark (EWR) International: Newark (EWR) Airport is located over the river in New Jersey and handles both domestic and international flights. Newark Airport is the hub for Continental Airlines, and if you prefer to fly Continental, you will be flying into Newark (it is the only NYC airport they fly into). Bus: NYC public transportation isn’t available from Newark, but there is a Newark Liberty Express Bus that costs $12.50 round trip and will bring you from the terminals to the Port Authority Bus Terminal, Bryant Park, or Grand Central Station. Train: You can also take the Newark AirTrain, which will bring you to the NJ Transit train, and eventually to NY Penn Station. This option costs approximately $15 and takes around 30 minutes. The trip is 45 minutes to an hour. Taxi: Taxis take 20-45 minutes and cost $30-38not including tolls and tips. Each airport has its pro and cons and all provide adequate transportation to and from Manhattan. Compare flight prices before making a final decision. While a flight might be $20 cheaper into one airport, the differences in ground transportation costs might make another airport a better option. Copyright 2009 Examiner.com. All rights reserved.

  • Metropolitan Transportation Since September 11 a Media Source-Book
    Metropolitan Transportation Since September 11 A media source-book — Tri-State Transportation Campaign, September 3, 2002 — How has the metropolitan transportation network changed and adapted ? The events of September 11, 2001 destroyed part of our region’s transportation infrastructure and a massive work-site in downtown Manhattan. It also caused many other jobs to leave downtown. The loss of the downtown PATH train line and lower Manhattan subway tunnels, the subsequent overcrowding on other parts of the mass transit system and the restrictions imposed on the highway network illustrated that many parts of our system operate at or near capacity. That may have implications for future planning and investment. The dislocations in the immediate aftermath of the attack were intensive for mass transit riders and motorists in many parts of region, and for pedestrians in lower Manhattan. Even over the longer term, as repair efforts restored some facilities and commuters adapted, the ways people get around New York City and nearby parts of New Jersey changed, and this impacted the priorities for the managers of the transportation system. Some impacts and changes may persist over the long-term. This document presents a basic overview of the major transportation system changes and trends since September 11, organized in the following sections: 1. What was lost or disrupted 2. Mass transit ridership: regional trends 3. The Manhattan carpool rule: changing the way we drive 4. The street environment downtown 5. Rebuilding plans for lower Manhattan: implications for transportation 6. Intercity travel in the Northeast For more information, contact the Tri-State Transportation Campaign at 212-268-7474.

  • MTA Construction & Development, the Group Within the Agency Responsible for All Capital Construction Work
    NYS Senate East Side Access/East River Tunnels Oversight Hearing May 7, 2021 Opening / Acknowledgements Good morning. My name is Janno Lieber, and I am the President of MTA Construction & Development, the group within the agency responsible for all capital construction work. I want to thank Chair Comrie and Chair Kennedy for the invitation to speak with you all about some of our key MTA infrastructure projects, especially those where we overlap with Amtrak. Mass transit is the lifeblood of New York, and we need a strong system to power our recovery from this unprecedented crisis. Under the leadership of Governor Cuomo, New York has demonstrated national leadership by investing in transformational mega-projects like Moynihan Station, Second Avenue Subway, East Side Access, Third Track, and most recently, Metro-North Penn Station Access, which we want to begin building this year. But there is much more to be done, and more investment is needed. We have a once-in-a-generation infrastructure opportunity with the new administration in Washington – and we thank President Biden, Secretary Buttigieg and Senate Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer, for their support. It’s a new day to advance transit projects that will turbo-charge the post-COVID economy and address overdue challenges of social equity and climate change. East Side Access Today we are on the cusp of a transformational upgrade to our commuter railroads due to several key projects. Top of the list is East Side Access. I’m pleased to report that it is on target for completion by the end of 2022 as planned.
