On all trips within the City of New York, return tolls shall not be charged except for trips over the Cross Bay Veterans, Marine Parkway-Gil Hodges Memorial, and Verrazano Narrows Bridges.
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.

I am arriving at JFK from
I am arriving at JFK from Brazil and I will stay at the Days Inn Long Island (31-36 Queens Blvd Long Island City, NY 11101 U.S.). How much does a taxi to this hotel? It's the best way to go? Thanks
re: arriving at JFK from Brazil and I will stay at the Days Inn
Yellow cab will take you there and charge you on the meter - expect ~$40-$45.
The other alternative is public transportation.

How much a taxi would cost
How much a taxi would cost to go to Philapdelphia ? Is it the best way ?
re:How much a taxi would cost
It would be very expensive(more than $400).
Instead you can take a direct shuttle , called Dave's Best Limo which cost around $60/passenger. The shuttle is door-to-door and it can be found at Ground Transportation (Welcome Center) counter located at each terminal.
