John F. Kennedy International Airport – JFK is located 20 miles from Pier 92.  Click on the link above for detailed information about JFK International Airport, including directions to Manhattan and ground transportation options.

• In addition to a flat rate taxi service and shared ride vans, one of the ‘greenest’ ways to go is the frequent and inexpensive is to take AirTrain from any JFK Terminal to the Jamaica Station ($5 each way). From Jamaica Station, you can take the NY Subway into Manhattan (take the E to reach Midtown) for only $2!  Overall travel time can be as little as 75 minutes - - but we do caution that this is only for those who have minimal luggage, as many subway stations in New York only have stairs (no escalators or elevators).
