Getting from LaGuardia Airport to JFK Airport is an airport-to-airport transfer across Queens, roughly 10 to 11 miles by road via the Grand Central Parkway and the Van Wyck Expressway, usually 30 to 60 minutes depending on traffic. There is no direct train between the two airports, so every option involves either a taxi or private car, a bus-and-subway chain, or a combination. This page gives the real options with real prices, and states JetBlack prices quoted before tolls, tip, and governmental fees.
By taxi or private car
A taxi from LaGuardia is metered, not flat-rate: $3.00 to start plus $0.70 per fifth of a mile, plus surcharges and tolls. On a 10 to 11 mile run, the meter alone works out to roughly $41 to $44 before surcharges, tolls, and tip, and traffic can push it higher, so treat any flat number for this route with skepticism unless it is a written quote. JetBlack prices this transfer on its published hourly ladder, quoted before tolls, tip, and governmental fees, and a written quote should state the basis plainly.
JetBlack published hourly rates, quoted before tolls, tip, and governmental fees: economy sedan $45 per hour with a three-hour minimum, standard Sprinter $130 per hour, and stretch limousine $144 per hour with a four-hour minimum. Larger buses and the super-luxury Sprinter are priced by written quote. A 20 percent tip is recommended and is not included. Cancellation is $31 total: a $25 fee plus $5 in fees plus a $1 technology fee.
By transit
The transit chain is bus to the subway, subway to Jamaica, then AirTrain JFK. The subway leg is $3.00 and AirTrain JFK is $8.75, a chain of $11.75 in subway plus AirTrain fares, plus any bus fare that applies on the first leg. Allow at least 90 minutes, more with luggage or at night, and check service before you travel, because the chain has three legs and a missed connection costs the buffer. If your connection is tight, a private car is the honest recommendation, not the cheapest one.
