Race to JFK: What’s the Best Way to Get There? | The Points Guy

I think I might be the first one here though I don't see anybody else I don't see them do I win I can't what's up guys we're the video team for the points guy oh we are gonna be racing today from Manhattan to JFK I'm for different modes of transportation the subway the Long Island Railroad a car and one lucky person is going to be taking a helicopter we are gonna pick randomly right now and we're gonna start the race as soon as we get our assignments so hat I'm not round I'm taking the car Sarah I'm unfortunately eating my subway just to the Long Island Railroad I'm Ted and I will be flying in style on a plate okay I need a head start do you not have to be sober to JFK we are starting this journey on Park Ave South I'm going to find my uber right now and we're headed to Jim Kate awesome so we're on our way it should take me about 50 minutes to get there from our office so we will see if traffic I have barely ever used the Long Island Rail Road so this will be an adventure I have to take the subway to 34th Street where I could get on the Long Island Rail Road it says that the next train leaves at 9:45 so things go my way I should be able to make that train I got a sign to take a blade in theory I should be able to get there first cuz it's a freaking helicopter right all right flight departs at 10:20 so it's still gonna take at least 20 minutes to get there just to the helipad it's a good thing I have 40 minutes so I better freakin go right now honestly trying to vlog and figure this out is really stressful maiden left we're going to the helipad now sweet because it's the morning I'm worried that NAT is taking a car there and there's not gonna be any traffic leaving Manhattan so she's just gonna get there super super soon but I should make up some time in the air [Music] my face when it says gonna take 20 Tommy - I just make another and now I'm just so pro and I'm actually just got here 10:09 hello where you heading - hey are you Theodoric oh yeah crazy a photo ID Rosa I'm the only one on the flight I get my own private helicopter how exciting [Applause] because total hot tip 34th Street Herald Square and 34th Street Penn Station are different places so I did get out of the subway Herald for a walk to Penn Station and then I found the Long Island Railroad thankfully there is a 10:05 train so missing that memory if I wasn't too horrible and I was able to buy my Long Island Railroad ticket and the air change to get all in one hopefully they'll save me some time this is what I call LIRR business class [Music] [Music] thank you that was very smooth all right let's see if I am the first one here or not I don't see them did I win I might have won I have a feeling I'm still eating just definitely beating Ted I'm hoping that she's not too close behind so it doesn't get some wiggle room it cost me two for me five for my first ride my first subway ride to get here so 275 plus $5 775 to JFK is way cheaper than I would have paid for either car service or blade I keep thinking about if I had massive luggage this process would have been really really miserable there has been a lot of stares in and out of the subway you know going to Valley Island Railroad getting up getting to the air train if you have massive amounts of luggage do not take a Long Island Rail Road Oh No okay so not just texted me and apparently I was wrong we were meeting at terminal 5 JetBlue and I went ahead and went to the TWA and now I'm losing so I'm gonna run I'm gonna run I ran I met Cyril five I see it right such a really big area there she is she beat me so I walked into the terminal about 10:17 this morning it took me about 50 minutes from the time I left the office it was 64 dollars but I got here in 50 minutes and I beat Ted which is the most important part but the plate is sweet I got three rows a I made it I'm in third I beat just my only goal was to be one person and I did it well we all made it and now we're just waiting for Jessica to get here okay I think we spotted Jess she's arrived let's place okay now that I actually drinks on me [Music] all right we're starting with even Long Island Railroad blocks so we're all gonna go through the price and time and a stress level of each of our different route time and to me an hour and a half right and the air ticket I'm not moving the subway to get more [Music] once I got on it it was quite useful and easy from there so by human third place it cost me seven dollars and seventy five cents it took me like an hour and ten minutes it was my trustful only part I was really frustrating was an air travel I got second place it cost me a hundred ninety five dollars for EE plus $25 for the lift ride to inflate helipad but I got here in about an hour and the whole experience was super convenient if you're in a rush depending on traffic a blade might not actually be [Music] but in rush hour i 100% would have won so i came in your first place it cost me $64 and 59 thanks to the car zero stress I picked up in a door got job Tom Jordan dorrance Terminal five yet complained there's a little bit of traffic the only things that was a little bit bothered a little bit more zero stress I would say [Music]
