JFK or LGA — Page 2

I use Carmel all of the time and LGA is the cheapest with them. A cab from JFK is a flat $45 to any location. Newark (now called "Liberty") is the most expensive by car as the tolls are very high.

LGA is quickest and closest to most locations in Manhattan.

I'm not sure carmel will pick up in brooklyn because they are manhattan based. Btw the best middle of the road way to get in from jfk to manhattan I think is to take the airtrain to the jamaica station and grab an inbound LIRR train to penn station. That combo will cost you either $8 on the weekends or $10-$12 during the week. It's only a 15 minute ride in from jamaica to penn station. From either airport there is also the express bus service into manhattan which is $8 one way with your student ID (can only buy student tickets in manhattan.)

EWR Newark is best only if you're using the train to get into the city. If you have a lot of luggage forget about the train. Also, once you get to Penn station, you'll still need a taxi to get to your hotel.
