]]> Getting to Manhattan from John F. Kennedy International Airport, located about 15 miles away from each other, might seem like a task. However, with just a little bit of know-how, you’ll be able to navigate your way from the airport to the heart of the city with little trouble.

Use these tips to get from JFK to Manhattan with no stress.

Use the AirTrain to Connect to….

The LIRR

The Long Island Railroad is a great option for getting to Manhattan comfortably and quickly. All you have to take is the airport’s subway, the AirTrain, to Jamaica Station and then buy a ticket from Jamaica to Penn Station in the heart of Manhattan. This will cost you $12 total and generally take about an hour.

The NYC Subway

Are you looking for a cheaper mass transit option from JFK to Manhattan? The NYC Subway will get you from the JFK Station, a free ride on the AirTrain, to the island of Manhattan using the A-line. This will only cost you $3 dollars, but it usually takes about 30 minutes longer and isn’t as comfortable as the LIRR option.

Go in Car

Are you weighed down with baggage or just not in the mood to deal with public transportation? You can take one of New York City’s famous Yellow Cabs or an Uber to Manhattan directly from the airport. The cost will definitely be higher, and it might take a while depending on traffic, but this is the most comfortable option.

YELLOW CABS | NYC | I was speaking to a friend recently who grew up here and he mentioned the drastic decline in yellow cabs. He said 10 years ago the majority of cars you see were yellow cabs vs. today where they are just sprinkled in. • I do like seeing the yellow cabs on the streets and hope they will survive, but the user experience is poor in comparison to Uber so it may be tough over time. • Pablos Tip: If a cab rolls down the window and asks you where you are going do not tell them until you are inside the car (this doesn’t happen often but it does happen). It is illegal for them to ask and they are just trying to see if it fits in where they want to take you. • Tag someone who is traveling to NYC soon and can use this tip!
