JFK Airport Travel FAQs

Both JFK and Newark (EWR) are major airports for New York City. The best airport to fly to depends on your airport preferences. For example, JFK is a considerably larger airport, so you’ll get more flight options and amenities. That also means JFK will generally be more crowded than EWR. 

No, because the airport is only around 20 miles from Manhattan. You can follow signs for the JFK airport from any major interstate or expressway. However, traffic is notoriously bad around JFK, especially during peak hours, so plan ahead. 

We recommend arriving at JFK at least two hours before your scheduled domestic departure and giving yourself extra time if you drive during peak traffic. Allow three hours for international travel. You can also find real-time security and customs wait times on the airport’s official website to help you plan ahead.

Yes, JFK is open 24 hours. However, TSA, baggage drop, airline check-ins, and amenity hours of operation vary daily, depending on when flights arrive and depart. You can sleep at JFK by booking a room at the TWA hotel or using one of the sleep pods in Terminal 5. 

New York LaGuardia (LGA) is the closest airport to Manhattan. However, JFK and EWR are also within driving distance of the downtown Manhattan area. EWR is about 16 miles away, and JFK is about 19 miles away. Fortunately, it’s easy to reach Manhattan with a Budget car rental no matter which airport you fly into.
