Getting There in New York

Newark Liberty International Airport

Bryan Wright

The quickest way to get to NYC is by plane into JFK ( www.panynj.gov ). And now with the recent opening of AirTrain, you can take a "train" to Jamaica Station, which allows a quick ride directly to Manhattan via Penn Station. There are however various ways to get there. Buses run every 30 minutes between the city and JFK International Airport ( www.panynj.gov ); the trip takes at least an hour. You can also take a subway to the Howard Beach-JFK station then transfer to a bus for a  journey of about 75 minutes.

Buses run every 30 minutes between the city and La Guardia; a water shuttle also runs along the East River; or you can catch the subway to Roosevelt Ave-Jackson Heights and transfer to a bus but it will take you well over an hour. To get from Newark Airport ( www.panynj.gov ) you can get a private or public bus from the city. Taxis ( www.ny.com/transportation/taxis ) from all three airports into the city are expensive.
