Brooklyn to the airport is three different trips, not one, and the price depends on which airport. JFK is roughly 15 to 20 miles from most of Brooklyn, LaGuardia roughly 12 to 15 miles, and Newark roughly 25 to 30 miles, all planner estimates that vary by neighborhood and traffic. This page gives each airport separately, with taxi, transit, and JetBlack private car prices, so you can choose by the airport you are actually flying from.
Brooklyn to JFK
A yellow taxi from JFK to Manhattan runs $70 flat before additions, $76.75 all-in at base and $81.75 during weekday rush from 4 to 8 p.m.; from Brooklyn the meter and tolls differ by neighborhood, so confirm the metered expectation before you ride. Transit from JFK costs $11.75 by AirTrain plus subway. JetBlack’s published economy route fare from JFK to Manhattan is $65, with larger and luxury vehicles costing more, on the usual exclusions of tolls, suggested 20% gratuity, and governmental fees. For Brooklyn to JFK specifically, JetBlack quotes per trip in writing rather than borrowing the Manhattan figure. See our airport flat rate guide for the full stack.
Brooklyn to LaGuardia
Taxis from LaGuardia are metered, typically $35 to $52 before tolls and tip, and the Brooklyn leg is metered the same way. Transit from LaGuardia is the free Q70 bus plus a $3.00 subway ride. JetBlack serves LaGuardia as a private car at a per-trip written quote, with flight tracking and pickup timed to your actual arrival. Our best way from LaGuardia to Manhattan guide covers the Manhattan leg in the same terms.
Brooklyn to Newark
Newark is the longest of the three Brooklyn airport trips, roughly 25 to 30 miles by planner estimate, and the taxi math is metered plus the $20 Newark surcharge plus tolls, then tip. There is no flat rate to Newark. Shared vans run about $20 to $35 per person. A JetBlack private car to Newark is quoted per trip in writing, with the class confirmed before you ride.
