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.

Hi
I would like to take a taxi from JFK to Manhatten next week, but use the flat rate taxi. How can I identify the taxi company that offer this service.

follow signs from baggage
follow signs from baggage claim to taxi stand...any of the 'regular' taxis that use the stand right outside the terminals should accept the 'flat rate'. In fact when I've done this usually there is someone there helping manage folks into the taxis, and they actually give you a slip of paper showing what the rate should be in case the cabbie tries to change things mid-stream. Note that the $45 flat rate to Manhattan does not include a tip.
If you have folks approaching/accosting you with "want a cab" type questions, these are most likely 'gypsy cabs' (unlicensed)...that may have a lower rate, and also that may be folks you really don't want to deal with. No license = no overview...would you get in a car with a stranger outside your house?

Waiting Times
My partner and I are travelling to JFK (terminal 3) from Manchester, England in December of this year. Our flight is due to land at 3.30pm local time and we are just wondering how long it takes to get through customs? Can anyone advise what time we are likely to leave the airport?
I always allow about 40
I always allow about 40 minutes, but it depends on how full your flight is, whether any other flights have landed and how many desks are open. At 15:30 you should be OK. The good thing is the wait at security usually means your bags are waitng for you! Have a good trip....
taxi vs bus vs shuttle vs airtrain
Hi we will be arriving in FK airport at about 7.30pm on the 11th Nov and need to get to our hotel on W 39th Street. What is the best way? Shuttle, bus, taxi or train/subway? We are close to the Port Authority bus station so what about the NYAS bus? Looked on tripadvisor and many of the buses and shuttles get a real slating and yet they are so much cheaper than a taxi. But would we be better paying for a taxi? Is there likely to be a long queue at the taxi rank at that time of night?
Any advise would be great.
