On trips beyond the City of New York, all necessary tolls to and from the destination shall be paid by the passenger.
Flat Fare from JFK Airport:
The Taxi & Limousine Commission is conducting a Flat Fare program for trips between (to and from) the Manhattan and JFK International Airport.
The flat fare is $45.00 plus any tolls. The meter will not be turned on and the night surcharge will not be added.
If passengers request multiple stops, the flat rate of $45.00 will be collected at the first stop in either Manhattan or John F. Kennedy Airport, and the meter will be turned on for the remainder of the trip. The metered fare should be collected at the last stop, from the last passenger.

from JFK to La Guardia
How long it takes to get from JFK to La Guardia and how much it will cost? Is yellow cap the only way to go there?
re:How long it takes to get from JFK to La Guardia
NYAS(New York Airport Service) bus will take you there for $13/passenger. It leaves in front of every terminal at JFK every 30 min.Hours of operation - 6am-8pm.
For two people or more is worth it to take yellow cab - charge is on the meter - aprox.$28-$33.It takes 20-25 min if there is no traffic.

Arriving Information
I'm arriving at JFK Airport at 10:30 pm how can I get to 230 East 51st Street New York (POD HOTEL)?
And How much time does it take?
re:how can I get to 230 East 51st Street New York (POD HOTEL)?
Here are some of most common options that you have in this case:
1. Taxi
Yellow cab (from JFK to any point to Manhattan) costs flat rate of $45 + bridge toll($5.50). The price is for the whole taxi, not per passenger.Time: 40-50min
2. Public
Take Airtrain from any terminal on track 1 to Jamaica Station( be careful - on that track there are two alternating trains going to different routes; check the sign above the doors as the train arrives; the red colored sign is Jamaica one). Then take subway line E to 53rd street/Lexington Ave stop. Cost-$7.25/passenger.
Walk two blocks south on Lexington Ave and make left on 51st street.The hotel is block an a half down the street(between 3rd and 2nd Ave). Time: 1:15 min - 1:30min
3. Shuttle
There is shuttle(look for it at Ground transportation
counter or Welcome Center) that goes to any hotel in Manhattan for $18.50 per person.Time: 50min-1:30min

Flat fare taxi
Do I need to pre book a cab to get the flat fare to Manhattan or can we just turn up at the taxi rank ?
re:Do I need to pre book a cab to get the flat fare to Manhattan
You do not need to pre-book yellow cab. Just go to the taxi stand, wait on the line and get one when your turn comes up.

tipping/flat fare
Hello,
Are tips included in the flat fare price from JFK to Manhattan (45+5+0,5)?
brgds: Julius
re:Are tips included in the flat price from JFK to Manhattan?
No, tips are not included; they are on passenger's discretion. In New York, the tip is usually between 10% to 15% of the amount(in the case :$5 to $8) but not limited to that.

taxi
hi,
I'm arriving tomorrow at 11 PM approximately. Which taxi's do you recommend to take? Any company from the booths is safe?
And should I reserve in advance or I can just arrive there and pick a taxi?
thanks a lot for the help :)
re:Which taxi's do you recommend to take? Any company from the b
Yellow cabs are the safest ones - no need to reserve one in advance. After you arrive , step outside of the terminal and look for yellow cab stand. There would be a taxi dispatcher that will assist you.
