General tips
- Buy tickets or add value to your MetroCard before you travel, to avoid long lines at the airport and other potentially crowded areas.
- Consider the luggage you’re taking with you. You're likely to encounter crowded vehicles and stairs on your way.
- Be aware of crowding during rush hour. If you can, consider booking your flight at a time that wouldn't necessitate rush-hour travel.
- Taxi fare to JFK from Manhattan is at least $52. Taxis to LaGuardia use the standard metered fare. Here are all the details.
