The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time, given both per carrier and across all carriers on the route; where a schedule does not publish an elapsed time, it is derived from the scheduled departure and arrival times converted to UTC. Outbound and return times are computed by the same method, so the difference between them is directly comparable and reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in derivation.

Ride‑share services like Uber and Lyft are also available and widely used, picking up at designated areas outside each terminal; costs vary with demand. For a budget option, the AirTrain connects to the subway and Long Island Rail Road, offering a reliable 60–90 minute trip to Midtown for under $20. Rental cars are located at Federal Circle via a short AirTrain ride, but driving and parking in the city can be challenging.
