Transportation from airport to airport

JFK, Newark and LaGuardia

It is possible that you arrive at Newark and the next flight departs from JFK or LaGuardia or the other way around. This can be problematic if you have less than four hours to transfer.

Important to know

If you fly from outside of the United States to one of the airports you will need to pass through customs. This can sometimes take a long time so take about an hour and half to two hours into account. Fortunately this means spending less time waiting for your luggage.
If you are traveling within the United States to New York then you need not pass through customs but you do need to pick up your luggage. Take about an hour into account for this.
