Getting from JFK

AirTrain to Jamaica Station (8–10 min, $8.50) connects to the NYC subway A/E trains and LIRR. Total fare to midtown Manhattan is $9.25 via subway or $10–15 via LIRR; both take 50–70 minutes total. NYC taxis from JFK to Manhattan are metered (flat rate only applies to the Manhattan-to-JFK direction); expect $50–70 plus tolls.Ride-shares from JFK pick up at the designated lot; follow signs rather than waiting at terminal curbs. Car services and shared vans to Manhattan are available from the Ground Transportation desks.

New York Climate

Humid continental climate with hot summers and cold winters. July–August averages 25–32°C with high humidity and frequent afternoon thunderstorms that cause ground delays. Nor'easters hit December through March, occasionally dumping 30–60 cm of snow and causing widespread cancellations. JFK is slower to recover than inland airports due to wind exposure.

Fog is a disruption risk in spring. Fall (September–October) offers the most stable flying weather. Hurricane remnants reach New York in September–October. Sandy-level events are rare but possible.

Check current weather forecasts before travel.
