Private Transfer

New York to John F. Kennedy International

JFK is 27 km southeast of Midtown Manhattan, reached via the Van Wyck Expressway or the Belt Parkway through Brooklyn. The drive takes 45–70 minutes depending on traffic. The AirTrain plus subway combination takes 60–75 minutes and involves a change at Jamaica or Howard Beach — with luggage, the subway transfer is the painful part that a chauffeured ride eliminates entirely.
