Updates to New York Service following Hurricane Sandy

New York City operations are now operating limited services from the city, primarily in service to flights arriving at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Newark Liberty International (EWR). LaGuardia International Airport (LGA) remains closed until further notice, due to flooding.

On a normal day, New York traffic can be challenging to navigate, but traffic is currently extremely slow. In addition to the surge of stranded travelers attempting to enter or leave the city, public transportation is suspended, street light outages are interrupting traffic flows, and the majority of tunnels in and out of Manhattan are closed. Reports coming back estimate a 3-hour commute into, or out of, the city.

If you must travel into or out of Manhattan today, please be prepared for extreme delays.

Please check with your airline carrier before any scheduled pickups as only a handful of airlines are operating today.  Most airlines are expected to resume operations tomorrow.

For more information about local transit and transportation centers, please visit the Port Authority's Alerts & Updates page.

    Steve: For service from the airport, vans are assigned upon your arrival, so 20 minutes time difference should not affect your reservation. For service TO the airport, you will want to change the pickup time if it's 20 minutes EARLIER. If it's 20 minutes later, it's really up to your preferences. Some people like the extra cushion. Hope that helps!

    Shuttles should be available at that time. Aside from delays due to traffic conditions, and the Nor'easter hitting the East Coast today affecting flights, operations are running normally.

  Hello, I will arrive at JFK on the 8th (4pm). How is the service from this airport? Should I expect a long drive to Manhattan? Thanks

    Camille: The length of your trip from JFK to your drop-off point will depend on traffic as well as the number of other passengers in your shared ride. Manhattan has congested traffic much of the day. Since you're arriving during rush hour, and NYC is still in the process of recovering from Hurricane Sandy, please be prepared for traffic delays.
