Compare this with HKG or LHR, it is pathetic.
- apaprocki 9y agoI'm very familiar with NYC's options and with LHR. You compare JFK with LHR, not EWR or LGA (I suppose you'd compare EWR to Gatwick and LGA to City). To get to any reasonable business destination in London (City) area, you take Heathrow Express and then transfer to at least 1 or more tube. That is directly analogous to taking the AirTrain to an express train. When I leave my office on 59th & Lex, I walk to the 53rd street subway station and I'm at Terminal 8 in JFK in exactly 50 minutes, consistently. How is that any worse than LHR? Just like when you're booking a ticket to/from "London", you don't pick Luton if you really mean Heathrow. If my destination was Williamsburg I would pick LGA if at all possible, otherwise JFK. Picking EWR and having to go across the city is not a good plan to start with.
- camillomiller 9y agoTrue, but business trip, I wasn’t booking personally
- nerfhammer 9y agonitpick: PATH != NJT. PATH is run by the Port Authority. NJT commuter rail is what connects to EWR AirTrain. Also, don't take the subway to/from JFK, take LIRR it's like 40 minutes faster.
- mlrtime 9y agoThat should be PATH || NJT as you can take NJT directly to the tram.
