How do I know which airport I land at?
Your booking confirmation and boarding pass carry a three-letter code next to the arrival airport. JFK is John F. Kennedy International Airport. EWR is Newark Liberty International Airport. LGA is LaGuardia Airport.
Landing at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR)?
New York's airport in New Jersey, across the Hudson, linked to Penn Station by New Jersey Transit trains and its own AirTrain. No subway or Long Island Rail Road reaches it, and New York taxis charge the meter plus a $20 Newark surcharge there, not the $70 flat fare.
Landing at LaGuardia Airport (LGA)?
New York's third airport, in northern Queens, reached by bus from the subway and the Long Island Rail Road. No AirTrain or train reaches LaGuardia: the free Q70 bus links it to the subway and Woodside, and taxis run on the meter with a $5 surcharge instead of a flat fare.
