Limo from Kennedy to E midtown Manhattan?
A group of seven of us including 4 teenage girls need transportation from Kennedy NYC to midtown Manhattan this June. What are our options and is a limo cost effective? Thank you.

Very easy. Seven people means you will need to make arrangements in advance. Other wise it will mean taking two cabs (there is a flat fare per cab from JFK to Manhattan) or putting yourself at the mercy of unliscensed hustlers whose black cars may not be insured.
To find a limo service on line, check the Verizon Superpages at http://yellowpages.superpages.com and look under "Airport Transportation" then call a few to get your best deal for a limo that will carry all of you.

The flat cab fare is $45 - plus toll and tip - into the city. So about $55 per cab or $110 for two. Keep this in mind when you get quotes for a limo. Also, realize that cabs are more convenient - no searching for your limo driver and then waiting while he goes to get your car and bring it around from the far distant parking lot. Also - no enormous overtime charges if your plane is late.

This website will describe the basic public transport options

IMO, public transport for a group of 7 makes no sense. You may be able to hire a private van for your party from super shuttle, otherwise get a car service. I normally think a regular taxi is best going from the airport to the city for the same reasons, nytraveler states, but for this size group, you're probably better with a car service that can accomodate all of you. Tel Aviv and Jerusalem are 2 services often mentioned. Remember the current fare for a regular taxi is now $45+ toll & tip. It used to be $35 but has just gone up so as you search, if you see $35 it's old info.

Call your hotel and ask to speak to the bell captain. He will be able to give you a good car service recommendation. Make sure to thank him and give him a tip when you arrive...it can pay off. When I stayed at the Marriott East Side, I ended up chatting with the bell captain fairly often and on my last day, he arranged for me to go to the airport in a brand new limo for the same price as a cab.
