About New York JFK Airport (JFK)

North America's busiest international gateway and the main hub serving New York City

America's Premier International Airport

John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is the busiest international air gateway in the United States, handling over 63 million passengers annually. Located in the Queens borough, approximately 16 miles southeast of Midtown Manhattan, it serves over 90 airlines with nonstop flights to destinations on every inhabited continent.

Getting into New York City

The journey from JFK to Midtown Manhattan takes 45–90 minutes depending on traffic — New York is notoriously congested, especially during rush hour. While the AirTrain + subway (60–75 min total, ~$11.50) and AirTrain + LIRR (35 min to Penn Station, ~$16–$19) exist, they require transfers with luggage. A private transfer takes you directly to your hotel door in one seamless ride.

Yellow Cabs vs. Private Transfers

NYC's iconic yellow taxis charge a flat $70 from JFK to Manhattan, but that excludes tolls (~$10–15), peak-hour surcharges ($5), and tip — bringing the real total to $85–$95 or more. You'll also face long taxi queues at busy times. Our pre-booked private transfers include all tolls and fees upfront, with your driver waiting specifically for you the moment you clear customs.

Fixed Fares, No Surprises

Our private transfer fares are agreed upfront and include all tolls, surcharges, and waiting time — none of the add-ons that inflate taxi and rideshare bills. Fares to Midtown Manhattan start from $70 for a standard sedan. No surge pricing when it rains, no extra charge if your flight lands late, no tip expected.
