It usually takes 2 or 2 1/2 depending how heavy the traffic is. It is always better to travel in the morning than in the evening.

How much will it cost to get a taxi from JFK Airport to New York City (Central Park Area) ? -
I m going to be spending new year 2010 in New York City with my girlfriend, and i m booking it up now as a birthday present for her! (It costs a lot, to come over from England at that time of year).Been looking at packages, and the prices are very expensive, so just working out how much it would cost to book it all seperately..Also if possible.. does anyone know any good but affordable accommodation within or around New York City?ThanksSam
Yellow taxi cabs cost you flat rate of $45 between JFK and anywhere in Manhattan.http://www.nycvisit.com has list of hotels that list from inexpensive to expensive.Use Google Map to locate the address of hotel.Most hotels around Central Park are expensive.
Presently the taxi rate is a flat $45 per car, not per person. Add a tip onthat andtolls if you request the quickest rate. there are other less expensive alternatives, but they require shlepping your luggage on the subway.You could look for a hotel in Suunyside or Astoria,or Long island City. These are quenns neighborhoods that are closde to Manhattan but not nearly as expensive.Incidentally, the Times Square scene is not everything that it is cracked up to be. You have to arrive several hours early and there is no Alcohol allowed. An alternative to that may be to reserve a place at a restaurant near the event like TGI Fridays or Olive Garden. There you will be a little more comfortable in an indoors setting that has bathrooms, too. Outside there are none, and if you leave the area you are not allowed back in.I am not trying to keep you away, just warning you a little about what you will find.
Assuming you re going to the 59th Street, which is the southern end of the park, the cab fare is a flat $45.50 plus toll. You can avoid the toll by tell in driver to the 59th Street Bridge, which is free, instead of the Queens-Midtown Tunnel.If your hotel is located north of Midtown, Manhattan (for example the Upper West Side), the fare will vary by the meter.Another way to get from JFK to Central Park area will be by public transport. You can take the Airtrain, which is an automated train, from the airport to Jamaica Station, where you can then transfer to the New York City subway (underground) to Manhattan.If you opting on landing at Newark-Liberty International, you can take the NJ Transit commuter train from there to Penn Station, where a connection can be made to the subway.In regards to hotel, depending on your budget, may I recommend the link below.http://travel.yahoo.com/p-hotel-19150198��I hope this information is very helpful.Good luck
A fortune. Do this instead. Take the air train into Jamaica. Take the LIRR from there into Penn Station. Take the Subway uptown. or if you come into Laguardia instead, take the M60 bus into Harlem and take the subway downtown. The cab will be around $50.00 with the tip and you better leave a 15% tip in New York or else. Trust me on that.
I agree with Mary above. I visited NYC from the UK in June. Take the Air Train and Long Island Rail Road to Penn. It will cost less than 10 bucks and you wont get stuck in traffic jams.The Herald Square Hotel is very good. It s in midtown and a couple of blocks from Penn Station. 19 W 31st street. Very clean, modern and well maintained. Very close to Macys and shopping areas. Try booking through expedia or directly with the hotel. Also try www.booking.com.
sk bB4 u get in ... then ask another compare ... Take the underground ... A real eye opener .. NOT as bad as all that ... Be street wise... ie no BLING on display. I travelled Newark to downtown to get a Grayhound bus was very safe like the London underground ... don t take too many chances and it will be fine.
Your best bet is to find a cheap motel on the outskirts of the city, one that offers shuttle service into the port authority.

Flying out of PHX at night- what are the flashing blue amp; purple lights below? -
It looked like a carnival or something huge. These were not Christmas lights- the property was too big the lights were much brighter than any of its surroundings.
Probably US Airways arena where the Suns play. They have purple lights on the roof of it.
I don t know but I hate for you to get stuck with the other response. You didn t mention what time of year you saw these lights. You could try calling AAA or FAA for suggestions as to who might have an answer for you,
probably cops, majority of government money goes to cops in this city
