Overview

Choosing between New York’s airports

New York is served by three major commercial airports and a smaller regional one, and the right choice often depends as much on where you are staying as on the airline. JFK handles most long-haul international flights; LaGuardia is the closest to Manhattan and is largely domestic; Newark in New Jersey is often the easier drive for the West Side, Hudson Yards and Lower Manhattan; and Westchester County Airport in White Plains suits travelers based in the northern suburbs and Fairfield County.

Drive times are typical ranges and depend heavily on traffic, weather and time of day.

Requesting a transfer

What we need for your request

A few details let us plan the transfer properly and recommend the right vehicle. Include as many as you have when you request a quote:

  • Flight number and date — the single most useful detail for arrivals.
  • Scheduled arrival or departure time, and whether the flight is domestic or international.
  • Terminal, if you know it. At JFK in particular, assignments are changing as new terminals open.
  • Number of passengers, including children and any car seat requests.
  • Luggage — number of checked bags and anything oversized, such as golf bags, skis or strollers.
  • Pickup or drop-off address, whether a hotel, residence or office.

Arrivals

Flight-aware planning, honestly described

We plan around your flight details rather than a fixed clock time, and you can share updates with us if your plans change — a missed connection, a rebooking, a different terminal. How waiting time and significant delays are handled is set out in your quote and our service policies, so you know in advance rather than at the curb.

International arrivals and customs

After an international flight, the time between landing and reaching the arrivals hall can range from a few minutes to well over an hour, depending on immigration queues, baggage delivery and whether you use programs such as Global Entry. We factor this into the planned pickup time, and you can message us once you have cleared customs.

Curbside or meeting point

Each airport has its own rules about where for-hire vehicles may wait and collect passengers. Whether your chauffeur meets you inside the terminal or at a designated pickup area is confirmed in your arrangement, along with clear instructions for finding each other. Our airport arrival guide covers what to expect after you land.

Beyond the arrivals hall

Departures, private aviation and longer journeys

For departures, we suggest a pickup time based on your flight, the airport, the day of the week and the season — many airlines recommend arriving around two hours before a domestic flight and three before an international one. Flying privately? See private aviation transfers. Heading straight from the airport to the Hamptons or the Hudson Valley? We can arrange that as a single transfer.

Well suited to

  • International visitors arriving into JFK or Newark
  • Business travelers on tight schedules
  • Families with children and generous luggage
  • Guests connecting to private aviation or onward journeys
