John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) LaGuardia Airport (LGA) Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR)
At a glance
New York has three main airports: JFK and LaGuardia in Queens, and Newark Liberty across the Hudson in New Jersey. LaGuardia is the closest to Midtown, about eight miles out, while JFK and Newark are about 15 and 16 miles away. We arrange a private, pre-booked transfer with a named chauffeur who tracks your flight and waits 30 minutes from your flight’s actual arrival time, whether you are heading into the city or over to another of the three airports for a separate-ticket connection. You get a full quote before you pay, including any late-night, public holiday or short-notice charges.

Every journey is quoted on its own rather than sold from a price list, so the figure you receive is for your booking. These are the things that move it. Nothing is charged until you accept the quote. Tolls, where they apply, are either included in it or shown in it as an additional charge, and heavy traffic does not change the quoted price.
When you land
Three airports, two states and a rebuild under way at JFK. Here is what to expect between the aircraft door and the car, whichever one you land at.
Send us your flight number, and the airport and terminal on your ticket, when you book. Your chauffeur tracks the flight, and the 30-minute wait starts from your flight’s actual arrival time, not the scheduled time. Your chauffeur is named before pickup. Switch your phone on as soon as you land, because a passenger who has not reached the meeting point within the waiting time and cannot be contacted is treated as a no-show.
JFK and Newark both accept US Customs and Border Protection’s Mobile Passport Control app, which is open to US citizens, lawful permanent residents, Canadian B1/B2 visitors and returning Visa Waiver Program travellers with an approved ESTA. LaGuardia has no US customs hall for airline passengers: its scheduled flights from abroad come only from airports with US preclearance, where you clear immigration and customs before you board.
Your 30-minute wait may have started while you were still in the immigration queue. If passport control or the baggage belt is holding you up, message the booking desk. Waiting longer than 30 minutes can carry an additional charge.
The booking desk tells you where to meet your chauffeur, and at JFK the terminal matters. The airport’s own advisory, in force since May 2025 and still listed as ongoing, moves car-service and ride-app pick-ups for arrivals at Terminals 5 and 7 away from the terminal kerbs, so the desk’s instructions for those two terminals differ from the rest.
NYC Tourism puts the road journey to Midtown at 20 to 45 minutes from LaGuardia, 45 to 60 minutes from Newark and 40 to 60 minutes from JFK, which can stretch to well over an hour at busy times; traffic and weather decide where in the range you fall.
Terminals at JFK are changing as the rebuild goes on. Give us your airline and flight number when you book, and check your terminal again a few days before you fly.
Connections
The three airports have no airside link, so a connection between them on separate tickets means leaving one airport and checking in again at another. The drive times below are the Port Authority’s own estimates, and traffic decides where in each range a journey falls.
Both airports are in Queens, and the Port Authority puts the drive between them at about 30 to 60 minutes. The public transport route is AirTrain to Jamaica, the subway to Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Avenue and then the Q70 bus to the terminals.
This is the longest of the three pairings: the Port Authority puts the drive at about 60 to 100 minutes, because it runs from one side of the city to the other and on into New Jersey. By rail it is AirTrain to Jamaica, the Long Island Rail Road to Penn Station, NJ Transit to the airport station and the AirTrain again, carrying your bags through every change.
About 60 to 90 minutes by road, according to the Port Authority. By public transport it is the Q70 and the subway into Manhattan, then NJ Transit from Penn Station or an airport bus from the Port Authority Bus Terminal.
You collect your bags at the first airport and go through security again at the second. If the first flight came from abroad, you clear US immigration before the baggage belt and customs after it, unless you were precleared before you boarded. The airports themselves advise leaving plenty of time, especially in the rush hour and on holidays.
Send both flight numbers. The desk needs your onward departure so the connection window is protected: your arriving flight is tracked and the pickup timing follows it, your bags are handled and the onward flight is watched. It is a transfer between airports, not a promise that the second flight will be caught, so the margin you leave still matters.
JFK
JFK is in Queens, about 15 miles from Midtown Manhattan. AirTrain JFK links its terminals with one another, with the subway at Howard Beach, and with the subway and the Long Island Rail Road at Jamaica. The Port Authority is rebuilding the airport, and its current advisory asks motorists and anyone using a for-hire vehicle to plan for delays or reroutes while parts of the airport roadway network are closed or diverted. The same advisory strongly recommends mass transit, which is sound advice if you travel light.
Terminals As of September 2026 the airport’s terminal guide lists Terminals 1, 4, 5, 7 and 8. Delta and Emirates are among the airlines at Terminal 4, JetBlue is at Terminal 5, and American, British Airways and Qatar Airways are at Terminal 8. Go by the terminal on your booking, and tell us what it says when you ask for a quote.

LaGuardia is in northern Queens on Flushing Bay, about eight miles from Midtown Manhattan and the closest of the three airports to it. The Port Authority has rebuilt it around two new terminals: Terminal B, completed in 2022, and Delta’s Terminal C, completed in 2024. Public transport to the terminals is by bus. The Q70 LaGuardia Link runs to the subway at Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Avenue and 74 St-Broadway and to the Long Island Rail Road at Woodside, and the M60 runs to Harlem along 125th Street. If you land on a long-haul flight at JFK or Newark and fly on from LaGuardia on another ticket, that is a change of airport rather than of terminal, and the connections section above sets out what it involves.
Terminals Terminal B (Air Canada, American, Frontier, JetBlue, Porter, Southwest and United) and Terminal C (Delta). Terminal A, the historic Marine Air Terminal, has no airline listed on the airport’s own site.

Newark Liberty is in New Jersey, about 16 miles from Midtown Manhattan on the far side of the Hudson. Its AirTrain links Terminals B and C with a rail station for NJ Transit and Amtrak; Terminal A is not on the line, and the airport puts it at a 15-minute walk along a covered pathway or a five-minute shuttle ride. From 27 July to 13 November 2026, on weekdays between 5am and 3pm, the AirTrain does not run to the rail station; shuttle buses take its place, and the airport says to allow 10 to 15 extra minutes. A replacement AirTrain has been under construction since October 2025, and the Port Authority expects it to carry passengers from 2030.
Terminals Terminal A, which opened to flights in January 2023 (Air Canada, American, Delta, JetBlue and United), Terminal B (more than 25 airlines, among them Emirates, Lufthansa, Alaska and SAS) and Terminal C (United). The airport lists United at all three terminals, with its international arrivals at Terminals B and C, and JetBlue at Terminal A, with its international arrivals at Terminal B, so go by the terminal your booking shows.

Questions
30 minutes from your flight’s actual arrival time, at all three airports. The flight is tracked, so an early or late landing moves the wait with it. Immigration queues at JFK and Newark can eat into that time, so switch your phone on once you land and message the booking desk if you are held up. Waiting past the 30 minutes may be charged as extra, and if you have not reached the meeting point within the waiting time and cannot be contacted, the booking is treated as a no-show.
The pickup moves with it: your flight is tracked, and the 30-minute wait counts from its actual arrival time rather than the schedule. If the delay puts an onward flight at risk, tell the booking desk as soon as you know. Newark, for one, has listed periodic weekday-night closures of runway 4L-22R since January 2026 while the runway is rehabilitated, which is one more reason to track the real arrival time.
About 30 to 60 minutes by road, depending on traffic, which is the Port Authority’s estimate for the drive between the two. On separate tickets the drive is only part of the connection: you collect your bags at JFK, clearing immigration before the belt and customs after it if you flew in from abroad, and go through security again at LaGuardia. We book it as a terminal-to-terminal transfer with both flights on the request.
Yes, as long as you leave enough time: the Port Authority puts the drive between the two at about 60 to 100 minutes. With separate tickets, the airline flying you out of Newark is not responsible for a late arrival into JFK, so leave a margin for the border, your bags and check-in as well as the road. Give us both flights and we quote the transfer between the airports.
LaGuardia, at about eight miles from Midtown on NYC Tourism’s figures, against about 15 miles for JFK and 16 for Newark. Newark is also the one outside New York State, on the New Jersey side of the Hudson, so check the code on your ticket: EWR is Newark, while JFK and LGA are the two airports in Queens.
It does if your route enters the Congestion Relief Zone, the part of Manhattan at and below 60th Street, which the MTA has tolled since January 2025. A journey that keeps to the FDR Drive, the West Side Highway or the Hugh L. Carey Tunnel connections to West Street is not tolled. The amount depends on the type of vehicle, and for private cars on the time of day; where it applies, it is either included in the quote or shown in it as an additional charge, so it is not added unexpectedly after you book.
Often, yes, if you travel light, and JFK itself recommends mass transit while it is rebuilt. AirTrain JFK meets the subway at Howard Beach and Jamaica, and from Jamaica the Long Island Rail Road takes about 20 minutes to Penn Station or Grand Central Madison. From Newark, the AirTrain with NJ Transit or Amtrak takes about an hour to Midtown, and at LaGuardia the Q70 bus runs to the subway at Jackson Heights. A private transfer is simpler with heavy luggage, children, a late-night arrival or an address far from a station.
