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 plan on flying JetBlue to/from JFK (Continental from Newark to China). It 'appears' the taxi fare from JFK to Newark Airport is @ $75 plus tip and it should take us @ 90 minutes ... is that correct??
re:I am travelling with my 2 kids and am planning to fly from Bo
The taxi fare from JFK to Newark Airport is on the meter and might be little bit higher. The time length is correct.

taxi
Does the flat rate applies from anywhere in Manhattan to JFK? If not, what is the estimated taxi fare from Midtown to JFK? Which number should I call if I want to schedule a taxi to pick us up at the hotel? Thanks!
re:taxi
The flat fare for yellow cabs (JFK->Manhattan or Manhattan->JFK) applies to ANY point in Manhattan.
New York City is unique in the fact that you cannot pre-arrange a pickup by a New York taxi. All you have to do is just step on the street and hail a cab.
If you want to prearrange taxi service then call one of the private cars(the rate is also flat and may be slightly different than the yellow cab's one):
Here are the websites of two private cars companies that operate at JFK:

Thanks for your reply. We
Thanks for your reply. We have a flight at 9am from JFK. What would you suggest as the best transportation from Manhattan to JFK and at what time should we leave to get on time for our flight? Is it a problem to get a yellow cab (at the flat rate as you've explained) that early in the morning? Thanks!!
