Book this as one ticket on the NYC Airporter website and remember to print out two copies of your confirmation, one for each bus. I have not used this shuttle either for the same reasons I mentioned above.
I seriously question whether it is possible for anyone to get from EWR to JFK in 45 minutes — except in the middle of the night maybe!
The service is offered once an hour beginning at am until pm. Sometimes travel is not as easy as just getting on a plane and flying, transferring airports can be complicated. Even though the distance from JFK to LaGuardia airport is only 10 miles, you still need to allow time for the transfer. There are no train options, so it is likely you will have to deal with traffic. As I mentioned above, public transportation to LGA is limited. I would not recommend taking public transportation from LaGuardia Airport to JFK because that would take well over one hour!
Unfortunately, with all these options you may have to deal with traffic. Going by taxi can be a good option. The one thing you have to keep in mind is there could be a long line to get a taxi depending on the time you land. You can also use Uber or another car sharing service but again depending on the time you land you may have to deal with surge pricing. It may be worth an extra dollar or so, to book a car service in advance. Check out my preferred car service, Carmel , and earn frequent flyer miles for your ride.

Train options to transfer airports are limited and traffic can make the journey much longer, so keep that in mind when booking flights. Have you had to transfer between NYC airports or airports in other cities? Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links.

She was born and raised in Texas. After a 13 year stint in NYC, she moved to England to live with her husband. Wow, Anisa, great subject! Thanks for explaining all the options. Emese — Glad you found the post helpful. All the transportation options can be really confusing.
This is such a useful post, covering it seems all options. We have pinned it to multiple boards for future reference! Very informative, thank you! I hope I never have to deal with this situation airport transfers are my worst nightmares , but if it ever does happen, at least now I have all of the important information! Jessica — So glad to hear you found the post helpful. I hope you never need the information though!
If you did try the ETS bus do update the post! Annie — Very good point. Yes Uber is another option, the thing that worries me is the surge pricing though. Michelle — I agree. I would only do it for a really good deal. And make sure you allow yourself plenty of time. This is really useful and helpful for those needing to transfer! I have always avoided any itineraries with transfers in NYC or any other city like Chicago or London that has multiple airports — layovers are stressful enough sometimes for me without the need to transfer!
From LA, there are some good deals to Newark. So, I have followed her advice because I do not want to complicate her. My mom lives in Allentown, Pennsylvania and Newark is a better option to her. Oh gosh, I hope to never have to do that! This just sounds like it would be a nightmare and knowing my luck, it would cause me to miss my flight! Lolo — Yes, you really do need to make sure you leave extra time. It can be really stressful. Really helpful post! Thanks for sharing on TheWeeklyPostcard!
This is really handy. Thanks for putting it together! Could I go see Times Square and whatever else is recommended on public transportation, with 1 carry-on wheeled small suitcase? Jan — You could do that. Kennedy Airport. In good traffic conditions, your journey will take around 30 minutes, however, during peak times, your trip could take 1 hour. The local taxis at JFK and LaGuardia airport don't offer a set rate fee for the transfer between airports. Instead, you will have to pay the fare shown on the taximeter.
However, by booking a private shuttle in advance, you are guaranteed a fixed price, no matter how long the journey, with on-time pickups and no waiting time at any taxi rank. Even though you will need to take traffic into account, choosing a taxi or private shuttle for your transfer from JFK airport to LaGuardia is the quickest and most convenient option. You will be dropped off right at the door of your terminal and will also have the peace of mind that all your personal belongings are safe and secure.
Although taking a taxi or shuttle is a little more expensive, if you are travelling in a group of 2 or more, the price is the same per person as taking public transport. If you're travelling alone and on a budget, then taking the bus can be a good option. There's a waiting time of up to 30 minutes for the New York Express bus. Not only does the New York Express bus have to battle with traffic, but it must follow a set route, meaning you could be stuck in those lines for up to an hour.
Furthermore, if you land between the hours of and , there's no bus service so you will have to look for alternate transportation. Although the New York Express bus is cheaper than taking a taxi, if you're travelling with a lot of luggage or you arrive during the night, taking a taxi could be much more convenient. Book a trained, English-speaking taxi driver to pick you up at the same price as a regular cab from the line.
If you feel more relaxed knowing that somebody is waiting for you, you may as well book a Welcome Pickups transfer. Exit the airport through the Ground Transportation doorways and meet your shuttle driver at your reservation time. Pay your driver via cash or credit card upon boarding the shuttle. Collect your baggage, if you have any, and exit the airport through the Ground Transportation doors. Go to the airport taxi stand and wait in line for the next available vehicle.
If you have one to four passengers in your party, you can take a regular cab. Five or more passengers can only be accommodated in a minivan cab. Pay in cash or by credit card, and provide a tip for good service. The default tip is 20 percent, but you can give whatever you think is most appropriate.
Go to the Port Authority Welcome Center in your arrival terminal and visit the Welcome Center desk if you don't already have a private car reservation.
