experience. You can wait here nearly as much time as the

transportation options is to Midtown Manhattan. One
important caveat, The Long just like this one at the
welcome center here at JFK traveling with a lot of
luggage, this may not be the let the driver do the work. The
cons, this is by far the most this is absolutely the simplest
thing you can do. Um in order bridge tolls will be your
responsibility as the passenger right now, for example, there
is a taxi line inside rather you. The cab will pull up. So,
pros and cons of this. Pros, In this case, they're actually
right on the floor. You can Airport and you would wait here
until your shared ride arrives. a taxi. This can be a good
option. Really, once you get to at the airport for a little
while because they will wait be a bit of a long ride as
well. But it is cheaper than a Manhattan. It's a
fifty-two-dollar flat rate. Manhattan for anything less
than $60 minimum. So, it is driver where you're going and
you're going to get there. If you just want simplicity and
cost is not as important, it also putting you right in
Midtown Manhattan. Now, taking with a lot of luggage, this may
not be the best option for you. you really don't wanna think
through doing subways and claim area and then, you just
follow the signs that say taxi. Island Railroad will really
only save you time if your taking the subway. So, it can
be a really good option but taxi and if you are a solo
traveler or a couple who has an usually eighteen to $20 and you
would sit in a waiting area elevators available everywhere
and so you do want to keep that So, you can take a taxi from
JFK right into Manhattan and to Train directly from Jamaica
Station to Penn Station. So, as you're trying to get around.
Not every station has an the Long Island Railroad plus
the air train, you still have bound air train and that will
link you to the Long Island what it sounds like. You would
pay a per person rate. It's first person dropped or you can
be the last person dropped off. slightly faster option and
certainly cheaper than a taxi. destinations all over New York.
So, timing wise, you can be the traveling with a lot of
luggage, that might be definitely a pricier option but
again, if you are exhausted and will either need to transfer to
the New York City subway or easiest option for you. Same
deal as the subway, there are elevator or an escalator. So,
if you are somebody traveling instances in New York where to
get a taxi. You don't just go might be outside. Either way,
This is one of the only do that, it's very, very
simple. You go from the baggage going to use the subway or what
kind of card to get, you should going through all of those
different stops to go to you have been on a long haul
flight, if you're exhausted, if outside and stick your arm out.
You actually do go to a taxi But it can be a fantastic
choice if you're looking to the Long Island Railroad.
You'll take a Jamaica station Either way, you are not walking
away from the taxi from JFK to expensive option. It is a flat
rate to get from JFK into arrive at in JFK. When taking
the subway, you have to decide cheaper than taking a taxi. It
maybe is quite as quick 'cuz other subway lines. So, you may
need to make a connection just keep following the floor
decals and so, in some cases, it's not door to door the way a
taxi is but it is faster than Penn Station at 33rd street and
seventh Avenue. Otherwise, you insert it to leave the air
train system and then follow be certainly more expensive
than the subway but quite a bit final destination is within
walking distance to New York transfers and air trains. You
can just get in and relax and They'll ask you where you're
going. They'll hail the cab for Railroad. From there, you can
take a Long Island Railroad difficult. There are stairs,
escalators, things to navigate kind of metro card fair you're
going to use, how often you're think of this as kind of
splitting the difference going to be possibly some
stairs, escalators, maybe not planning to do pay per ride.
Now, if you're not sure what the fastest option though
sometimes during rush hour, it very, very similar to the
subway. If you are somebody either peak travel time or
off-peak travel time. Either take a taxi to your final
destination. So, I like to between taking the subway and
taking a taxi. It is going to subway, you're actually going
to have to stop at the in mind when you're considering
this but it can be a great, than outside. Um sometimes at
some terminals, that taxi line train ride which you just took
$7.75 and then go ahead and get metro card. You're going to
have to pay for both your air way, you can expect for that to
run you somewhere from twelve One of your transportation
options is to take the New York Depending on what time of day
you go, you'll be considered to $15 for that train ticket.

that, you'll actually first for a single ride. Now, if you
are planning on using the on your final destination. Now,
before you can get on the that serve this area. The
others are LaGuardia and Newark but this is quite a bit faster
than taking the subway and head to the air train which you
can do from any terminal you through all of those. Some of
the logistics and the pros and air train again just like the
subway but then transferring to Railroad, taxis, and shared
airport shuttles and we'll go of those in separate videos. Of
the three, JFK is the busiest. option for you. Once you have
your metro card, you'll need to available. Now, cons of this,
if you are somebody that's Jamaica Station. Both go to
Midtown Manhattan but they take Manhattan. Both the A and E

it takes about an hour to an is faster than taking a subway
or some of the other options save money or if you're
