John F. Kennedy International Airport ground transport

John F. Kennedy International is New York's largest international gateway, in southeastern Queens about 26 km from Midtown. The AirTrain (€8) connects every terminal to Jamaica and Howard Beach, where you pick up the subway (E, J/Z or A) or the fast LIRR into Manhattan. Yellow cabs charge a fixed $70 fare to and from Manhattan (tolls, surcharges and tip on top), while Uber/Lyft and pre-booked car services cover the door-to-door trips. Prices here are converted to euros at about 1 USD ≈ 0.92 EUR; pay transit fares by OMNY contactless tap. This guide compares price, time and frequency for every popular destination.
