Nonstop flights typically take around 9 hours and 55 minutes, while the return leg is about 8 hours and 25 minutes — over an hour shorter thanks to prevailing tailwinds.", "methodology": "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": ["flight_schedule"]}, "q3": {"question": "What are the ground transportation options in New York City?", "answer": "From JFK, the AirTrain plus subway or Long Island Rail Road is the fastest and most-used way to reach Manhattan, taking about 50–60 minutes. Licensed yellow taxis offer a flat fare to Manhattan, while ride-share apps like Uber and Lyft pick up at designated areas outside each terminal. Rental cars are available via AirTrain to Federal Circle, and authorized shuttles or private car services provide door-to-door options. For a premium choice, Blade helicopter transfers can get you to Manhattan in minutes, and bicycle parking is even available at some terminals.", "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.

September and the winter months of February, January, and March fall into the shoulder or low season with moderate prices.", "methodology": "This 'good deal' estimate shows a representative best price for each departure date across roughly a 12-month window (about 3 months back and 9 months forward). It is built from real flight prices found by Priceline users searching this route, accumulated into a price history for each departure date. Rather than weighting all of that history equally, we apply exponential time decay so recent prices dominate — a price seen yesterday counts almost in full, one from about a month ago roughly a third, and prices from a few months back very little — giving a figure that tracks today's market instead of a stale long-run average. Clear price outliers are removed before any calculation, departure dates with no observations are filled in from nearby dates, and the resulting curve is lightly smoothed so it reads as a clean seasonal trend rather than day-to-day noise. For this route, fares for the requested travel direction were unavailable, so the pattern shown is derived from the reverse direction, which shares the same seasonal demand cycle.", "toolsUsed": ["seasonal_prices"]}, "q5": {"question": "How far in advance should I book tickets from Rome to New York City?", "answer": "For flights from Rome to New York City, the best fares are typically found when booking 7 to 10 weeks in advance, with an average price around $718 during that window. Last-minute bookings can climb to about $830, while booking around 50 to 60 days out can yield prices as low as $715. During peak summer and holiday periods, demand pushes optimal booking slightly earlier, so aiming for 10 to 12 weeks ahead is wise.", "methodology": "This booking-window guidance is built from the same real flight prices found by Priceline users searching this route, re-grouped by how many days before departure each price was seen (from the departure day out to about 180 days ahead) across the route's price history. At each booking lead time we report the 25th-percentile price — the cheaper end of what travelers were quoted, rather than the rock-bottom minimum (which can be a fluke) or the average (which is pulled up by expensive last-minute fares). The buy-or-wait advice then applies a risk premium that grows as departure approaches, since seat availability shrinks and prices become less predictable; using that adjusted curve we flag windows where waiting is likely to save a meaningful amount (at least $20 or 5%) versus windows where booking now is the better call. Isolated single-day recommendations are filtered out, so the advice only reflects a window that holds for several days in a row.

ITA Airways runs 28 weekly flights to JFK, with a median fare around $808; United has 21 weekly flights to Newark, around $766; and American operates 14 weekly flights to JFK, around $780.

Several shuttle bus companies (e.g., Terravision, SIT, T.A.M.) also serve Termini and other points for less than the train. Taxis offer door-to-door convenience at a fixed fare of €55 from within the Aurelian Walls, while ride-share and car-sharing services are available with designated pickup areas.
