JFK to La Guardia - transport options and cost?
I am coming in from overseas and have to go from JFK to La Guardia, to get my domestic connection.
Is taxi the easiest way, if I am traveling alone with several pieces of luggage? What is the approximate cost? My overseas flight arrives midmorning. How much time should I allow to comfortably make my connection at La Guardia? Is traffic usually an issue when traveling between those 2 airports?

Hi Lindsey,
If you are traveling alone with several pieces of luggage a taxi between the two airports is the best option. It will cost approximately $15 to $20. Traffic can be a factor any time of day between JFK and LGA. If there is none it will take 10 minutes and if there is a complete traffic jam it could take an hour so leave yourself at least that amount of time to be on the safe side.

The only way you'll make it from JFK to LaGuardia in 10 minutes is if your driver is Mario Andretti. It'll take nearly 10 minutes just to get out of JFK! Figure more like 25-30 minutes w/out traffic, 45 minutes to 1 hour with.
Definitely go via taxi, but make sure you confirm the price of the ride beforehand.
Have fun.

Is getting a taxi difficult at JFK because the queue is so long? (It's been years since I was there and I don't remember the local transportation situation.) Is there a reasonably priced car service I could book ahead of time to meet me at JFK?
