New York's major airports are all within an hour
from the city center by taxi or bus, depending on traffic conditions.
The city's train and bus terminals are centrally located
and connected to major subway stations
By air
Three major airports serve New York. International and
domestic flights are handled at John F Kennedy (JFK) (tel 718/244-4444),
in the borough of Queens, and Newark (tel 973/961-6000), in northern New
Jersey; La Guardia (tel 718/533-3400), also in Queens, handles domestic
flights only.
Taxis
are the easiest option if you are in a group or are arriving at an
antisocial hour. Expect to pay $16-22 from La Guardia, a flat rate of
$35 from JFK and $35-55 from Newark; you'll be responsible for the
turnpike and tunnel tolls - an extra $5 or so. And don't forget a tip of
fifteen to twenty percent.
Another good way into Manhattan is by bus , the two Manhattan
terminals, used by all airport buses, being Grand Central Station and
the Port Authority Bus Terminal.
By bus
or train
If you come by Greyhound, Trailways, Bonanza, or any other long-distance
bus line , you arrive at the Port Authority Bus Terminal at 42nd
Street and Eighth Avenue. By Amtrak train , you arrive at Penn
Station, 32nd Street and Seventh and Eighth avenues. Both stations are
well positioned for all manner of subway service.
