Transportation from New York Airports

Booking flights to New York City is easy; Travelocity has options from many major cities. When your plane touches the tarmac, you’re just minutes from a New York slice of pizza and some of the top hotels on the East Coast. NYC is well-serviced by a robust public transportation system, so you can get from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) or LaGuardia Airport (LGA) to your favorite borough via subway or commuter rail. You can also hop into a cab and head straight for your destination.

Having a rental car is not only unnecessary, but it might actually be a burden in particularly congested places like Manhattan. If you plan on staying on the island of Manhattan for most of your stay, become acquainted with the subway. If you plan to explore the outer boroughs or venture on to upstate New York, book a rental car at the same time you buy plane tickets to New York City and save some cash.
