Nonstop service on JetBlue to JFK takes around 4 hours and 48 minutes, while United's Saturday service to Newark is about 5 hours and 3 minutes. The return leg is slightly shorter at roughly 4 hours and 46 minutes, a difference too small to mention direction.", "methodology": "Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method.

The most‑used option is the AirTrain to Jamaica Station, where you can transfer to the subway (E, J, Z lines) or the Long Island Rail Road for a cheaper, reliable trip into the city. Rental cars are located at Federal Circle, reachable via the AirTrain, and authorized shuttles or van services also operate from the airport.

Taxis are readily available outside the terminal and reach downtown in 15–20 minutes for around $40–$50, making them the fastest and most popular option.
