- AirTrain + subway: the AirTrain runs from all terminals to Jamaica (for subway lines E, J and Z) or Howard Beach (line A). Cheap, but with a change.
- AirTrain + Long Island Rail Road: from Jamaica to Penn Station or Grand Central in about 20 minutes – faster than the subway.
- Taxi: yellow cabs charge a flat fare to Manhattan, plus surcharges, tolls and tip. Only get in at the official taxi rank.
- Ride-hailing and transfers: designated pick-up points at every terminal.
Tips
- Paying: you can pay for the AirTrain and subway contactless with card or phone (OMNY); the AirTrain fare is paid when leaving at Jamaica or Howard Beach.
- Entry: you need an ESTA before travelling to the US.
- Avoid touts: don't accept rides from people approaching you in the arrivals hall.

How Voynera helps
After landing, Voynera's arrival briefing shows the route and travel time to your accommodation – and doesn't suggest a transfer if you've already booked one or your card includes ride credit.
