The New York Metropolitan Area has one of the largest concentrations of travel hubs than anywhere else in the world. There are seven major airports, three major train terminals and three major seaports.

It can sometimes be very confusing to find your chauffeur when traveling into this area, so we have prepared this guide to help you understand each transportation hub and find your Chauffeur easily.

Airports

John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK)

JFK Airport is one of the largest and busiest international airports in the world. Located in Jamaica, Queens, it is approximately 45 to 50 minutes from Lower Manhattan depending on traffic conditions. It is the busiest international air passenger gateway in the United States and the 12th busiest airport in the world. Last year, the airport handled more than 46 million passengers.

Some 90 airlines operate from JFK. It is the major base for Jet Blue Airways and an important gateway for Delta and American Airlines. JFK has eight passenger terminals containing 151 gates. Please see the link below to give you specific information about airline locations and telephone numbers.

MEETING YOUR CHAUFFEUR: Since JFK serves both international and domestic passengers, here is the general rule of thumb. If you are arriving internationally, we will generally meet you outside the Customs Hall. Look for our familiar blue sign with your name on it. If you are traveling domestically, we will meet you at baggage claim.

Of course, there are always some exceptions. For Jet Blue pickups, you should get your luggage at baggage claim and proceed outside to the pickup area. Call us toll-free at 1-800-666-7819 and our car will leave the “Cell Phone Parking Area” and pick you up at the door. It is a quarter of a mile walk for us to meet you in baggage claim. At Terminal 3 (Delta), the arrival area is a telephone dead zone. Look for the Perfect sign in baggage claim. Unfortunately, you cannot telephone us ... and we can’t receive calls.

Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR)

Newark Airport is located in both Newark and Elizabeth, New Jersey. It is one of the oldest airports in the world, starting service in 1935 when Amelia Earhart dedicated the nation’s first commercial terminal. Located approximately 50 minutes from Manhattan, the airport has a 423-acre Central Terminal area with three major terminals: A, B and C.

Continental Airlines maintains a major hub at Newark with aircraft departing for domestic destinations from Terminal A and both domestic and international flights from Terminal C. Continental has its own Customs clearance facility in Terminal C. Terminal B is the international arrivals building for most other airlines with some domestic travel as well.

MEETING YOUR CHAUFFEUR: For international arrivals, you can meet your Chauffeur right outside the Customs Halls in Terminals B and C. For domestic arrivals, proceed to the lower arrival level baggage claim area. You will see Chauffeurs lined up waiting for you at the bottom of the escalators.

Please be aware that Carousels 1 and 2 in Terminal C are in a cellular dead zone.

LaGuardia Airport (LGA)

LaGuardia Airport is located in Queens, New York, roughly 30 to 45 minutes from Manhattan. It sprawls over 680 acres and has 72 gates. It has four main terminals: Central Terminal, US Airways Terminal, Delta Airlines Terminal and Marine Air Terminal (also known as Terminal A).

Terminal A handles shuttle services to Boston, Chicago and Washington for Delta and houses the airport’s General Aviation Facility. Once called the Overseas Terminal, A was the original airport terminal serving flying international flying boats through the 1940s when aviation was still in its infancy.

MEETING YOUR CHAUFFEUR: Meet your Chauffeur as you walk to baggage claim in most terminals. Chauffeurs generally congregate at the base of the escalators, holding their passenger greeting signs. In Terminal A, you will meet your Chauffeur as you proceed to the exit doors near baggage claim. Carefully observe the baggage claim signs from the jet way to baggage claim; walkways and escalators do not always put you in the correct baggage claim area.
