The return leg is faster at 7 hours, thanks to prevailing winds cutting about an hour and a half off the westbound time.", "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. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.", "toolsUsed": [ "flight_schedule" ] }, "q1": { "question": "Are there any direct flights from Lisbon to New York City?", "answer": "Yes, TAP Air Portugal and Delta both fly nonstop from Lisbon to JFK daily. TAP runs two daily departures (around 4:35 PM and 5:00 PM) while Delta has one morning departure at 10:00 AM, giving 21 weekly nonstops total. The flight takes about 8½ hours eastbound, with the return about 90 minutes shorter due to prevailing winds.", "methodology": "Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled 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). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. Carrier service, flight times and distances for this route come from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We report the days of the week and the departure times each carrier operates. 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. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two specific airports named, so an actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer. Where shown, on-time departure and arrival rates and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, which covers U.S. domestic routes only; where a typical fare is shown, it comes from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold.", "toolsUsed": [ "route_airlines", "flight_schedule" ] }, "q3": { "question": "What are the ground transportation options in New York City?", "answer": "Getting from JFK to Manhattan is straightforward with several good options. The AirTrain connects to the subway (E, J, Z lines) and Long Island Rail Road, offering an affordable and reliable public transit route to the city center in about 50–75 minutes. Taxis provide a flat-rate fare to Manhattan, which is convenient but can be slowed by traffic. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are widely used, with designated pickup areas at each terminal. For those wanting their own vehicle, rental cars are available at Federal Circle via the AirTrain. The AirTrain/subway combination is the most-used method by locals and budget-conscious travelers due to its low cost and frequency.", "toolsUsed": [], "references": [ { "url": "http://jfkairport.com/transportation", "title": "Transportation Options - JFK Airport", "favicon": "http://jfkairport.com/images/shared/favicon/jfk_favicon.ico", "time_published": "2025-12-23T18:54:39Z" }, { "url": "https://jfkairport.com/transportation/ride-share-services", "title": "Ride Share Information - JFK Airport", "favicon": "https://jfkairport.com/images/shared/favicon/jfk_favicon.ico", "time_published": "2025-11-07T16:18:43Z" }, { "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?curid=97218&diff=1343981798&oldid=1343041901&title=John_F._Kennedy_International_Airport", "title": "John F.

For each day of the year we take a representative round-trip fare, a blend of the 25th-percentile and average ticket price over the route's bookings, and smooth the series into a seasonal curve; the half-month low and high and the monthly figures quoted here are averages of that curve.

Booking about 30 days ahead offers the single cheapest price, while fares climb steadily if you book further out — reaching $441 at 160 days. For summer or holiday travel, expect prices to run higher and book closer to that 4–7 week sweet spot rather than very far in advance.", "methodology": "Booking-window guidance comes from the same monthly in-house analysis of Priceline's own air booking-summary archive. We aggregate the route's bookings by how many days before departure they were made, from about 180 days out to the day of travel, smooth the curve, and highlight the stretch of lead times with the lowest average fare.

The dedicated Aerobus shuttle (Line 1 or 2) runs every 20–25 minutes, offers a direct ride to the city center in about 20–40 minutes, and costs around €4 for a 24-hour pass. Taxis are available at ranks outside arrivals and are the fastest door-to-door choice, though they come with an airport surcharge and luggage fees.
