New York airports
New York area has three major airports: JFK/Kennedy, LGA/La Guardia and EWR/Newark in New Jersey. Getting around/to/from them isn’t easy because we don’t really have a direct rail, unless you count Jamaica.
So, let’s get over this as if we never knew what Bullet and Maglev is.
New York City/Manhattan has two major train stations that connect to subways and buses (none of them is connected to any airports directly):
- Penn Station @ 234 West 31st Street (8 Av & W 31 St), NY 10001 and
- Grand Central @ 89 E 42nd St, New York, NY 10017, (Lexington and Park/Vanderbilt avenues)
To/from the airports:
- JFK
- taxi
- AirTrain to Jamaica Station $5; then change to subways
- buses
- LGA
- taxi
- ?
- EWR
- Amtrak $28 – $57 to Penn Station in about 23 minutes
- taxi
- bus: CoachUSA $17;
It’s shameful, I know …
