New York City: By air
Three major airports serve New York. International and domestic flights are handled at John F Kennedy (JFK) (tel 718/244-4444), in the borough of Queens, and Newark (tel 973/961-6000), in northern New Jersey; La Guardia (tel 718/533-3400), also in Queens, handles domestic flights only.Taxis are the easiest option if you are in a group or are arriving at an antisocial hour. Expect to pay $16-22 from La Guardia, a flat rate of $35 from JFK and $35-55 from Newark; you'll be responsible for the turnpike and tunnel tolls - an extra $5 or so. And don't forget a tip of fifteen to twenty percent.
Another good way into Manhattan is by bus , the two Manhattan terminals, used by all airport buses, being Grand Central Station and the Port Authority Bus Terminal.
