Description of service

This is the cost of a ride from anywhere in Manhattan to John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK), without tip. An appropriate tip would be 18-20%, bringing the total to 53-54 dollars. If you take a cab from Manhattan to JFK, you can expect it to take about an hour, although during rush hour it can be much more.


Review of Service

Just fine. An official NYC taxi with a clearly displayed medallion will get you from here to there with no real surprises, except perhaps the amount of time it takes. The ride can take as little as 40 minutes and as much as 90, depending on traffic.


Tips

A taxi from Manhattan to JFK is the easiest way to get to the airport. Door to door service, and JFK has 7 terminals, so door to door is nice. However, traffic can be a problem, and make your travel more stressful than necessary. If it seems like a taxi might be cutting it short, the MTA Long Island Rail will get you there in 30-45 minutes (depending on the terminal you're going to) for 5.25 one way. If you're on an expense account and have the time, make your life easy and take a cab. Otherwise, take the Long Island Rail.
