Cab fare from NYC to JFK?

Hi,
I live right by the mid-town tunnel and I'm curiuos if anyone knows how much a cab would cost from the tunnel to JFK. My flight is at 7 AM which means I would leave my place around 5:30 AM because I don't expect that there will be too much traffic. I read that Mid-town to JFK is a little less than 15 miles so I can do the math on a cab ride. But, perhaps someone knows better from experience. Thanks!!!

Bob

Check out the following link for airport transportation information.

http://www.panynj.gov/aviation/jgrtfram.htm

Gives information on bus, airtrain
and cab.

Although it is a flat 35 dollar fare from JFK to Manhattan, it will be metered from Manhattan to JFK. Depending on traffic delays youre looking at 50 dollars plus tolls and tip.

I should have also mentioned starting May 3rd taxi rates go up. Initial charge from 2.00 up to 2.50 and every tick of the meter up a dime from 30 to 40 cents. This will probably increase the fare another 7-10 bucks to JFK.

You might consider a car service. Most charge $39 to JFK plus tip and toll. Final cost will be around $50 which is what it cost me when I flew oiut of JFK three weeks ago.

Given you live near the tunnel and it's 5:30am, it should be a very quick ride. I guess given the tolls and rate increase, it could cost $40-50. Ypu can also give a car servicer company a call to see what they charge. Sometimes it's not much different from a cab and they will be at your door at the given time (we've been using Carmel).

Whe metered taxi fares go up, the flat fare from JFK to Manhattan will also go up, from $35 to $45 (plus toll and tip)
