Flying out of JFK

Hey Chuck, what have you come up with for leaving the plane?

Republic is probably the best option because of the multiple FBO's and its
proximity to JFK. You can take a cab ride to JFK or a cab ride to the Long
Island Railroad (5 mins from FRG) and take the AirTrain from Jamaica
station. For $5 the AirTrain will take you directly to your terminal. LIRR
will run you about $10 each. Depending on how much luggage you have, you may
want to pay for a cab/car service.

As for FBOs, Long Island Jet Center (631-843-9488) is probably cheaper than
Atlantic Aviation (631-752-9022) for parking fees but call both to compare.
Both may be able to courtesy-car you to the train station if you choose that
mode.

Good luck.

Republic nearby, KFRG, has lots of options and not too far from Kennedy.
Catch a Super Shuttle or a cab.

Hi,
I will be flying out of JFK on 18 April at 400P and returning to JFK on
30 April at 725P. I'm thinking of flying my Archer from Cleveland to
somewhere in the area (no, I don't want to go into JFK, ha ha) and
leaving her there for the couple of weeks. Any suggestions will be
appriciated. I will probably plan to spend the night of the 30th and
fly back on 1 May. Hotel suggestion near where the Archer will be
staying. Suggested transportation from Archer to JFK.
Thanks to all.

Thanks Marco ( and all) for the replys. Considering cost, I have
decided to go comercial. Parking the plane for 2 weeks costs $200 to
$350 depending on where with the less expensive (HPN) requiring a $135
ride to JFK. Guess this midwestern hick just didn't remember the NY$$$
area that well. My hanger at I64 only costs $100 per MONTH. So maybe
I'll fly to RMY for a MI hamburger.

Why "ha ha"? I flew (actually was flown) into JFK once in a Comanche to

What was the landing fee?


I think it was supposed to be $100 (whoever said flying was a cheap
hobby?) but no one ever bothered to collect it. (In the FBO we were
told the pilot would get a bill in the mail, but he never did.)

The last I heard ( about six months ago ) the fee at JFK was $25 if you
land there before 1400 or 1500 EST, but that was just for a couple
hours. They have a courtesy van to take you to the terminal of your
choice. However, the long term parking might be a problem. The Port
Authority of NY and NJ has a website with a telephone number to get the
information.

There is a less expensive option from HPN to JFK by taking the train
from White Plains and then using Subway and Bus to JFK. Probably less
than $20.

Ugh. Taxi to downtown White Plains, Metro North to Grand Central Station,
7 train out to Queens somewhere, transfer to the E to Jamaica, then the JFK
monorail. I count 4 transfers, and it'll probably take you about 2-1/2
hours by the time you're done.

Let's face it, public transport to and from NYC airports sucks eggs. I
used to fly to London a couple times a year on business. From the terminal
in Heathrow, it's underground moving walkway to the metro station, then
about 55 minutes (and something like 4 pounds) got me right to my hotel in
Kensington. Or, I could have opted for the express train which would get
me into the central city in about half the time (about 15 pounds, IIRC) on
a more comfortable seat.

In New York, it took them eons to build the new JFK rail link, and it
doesn't even frigging go anywhere.

You can download the entire schedule of fees at
http://www.panynj.gov/aviation/jfkscheduleframe.htm

The site is a heavy on frames and javascript so it's hard to bookmark, but
I believe the above URL will get you right to the fee schedule document.

It depends where you're coming from. I tried the AirTrain when it first came
online. I live in Farmingdale about 1/4 mile from the airport and it was
about 50 minutes door to door at a cost of $12. Granted, I have a monthly
train pass with a discount so it would normally be $17. Still not bad.
