New York Airport Information

There are two major airports, John F. Kennedy International (JFK) and LaGuardia, that service travelers flying into New York City. When you use Orbitz.com to book your flights to New York, you will be able to choose from almost every major domestic and international air passenger carrier. LaGuardia Airport is roughly nine miles east of Manhattan, while JFK is almost 20 miles to the southeast. If you can't find the flight that you want, you can also fly into Newark International Airport, roughly 19 miles northeast of Manhattan.

Ground Transportation in New York

New York has plenty of public transportation, so getting around should be fairly easy. If you fly into LaGuardia, you will have to take a taxi, bus, or shared van for at least a portion of the trip, because there is no rail or subway service from the airport. Expect a cab ride from LaGuardia to Manhattan to cost anywhere from $20 to $40. Although JFK is further from the city, you can hop on the AirTrain, which will take you to the subway or the Long Island Railroad. If you choose to take a cab from JFK into Manhattan, expect to pay $45 or more for the ride. You will also be responsible for any tolls that are incurred during the trip. If you use Orbitz.com to book your hotel, you may be able to find one that offers free shuttle service to and from the airport.

New York tends to be cold in the winter, wet in the spring and humid in the summer. Winter temperatures fluctuate between the 20s and 30s, while summer temperatures can soar to the 90s. New York City averages 27 inches of snow each winter, so be sure to pack your parka and snow boots if you plan to be there between November and February. Use the Orbitz.com travel planner to put together your itinerary and choose a temperate time to visit the city.

We're traveling toHershey at the end of the year. We were hoping to drive to NYC on new years. Is NYC doable to go for just 1 day? We're so close, would love to check out the city again. But, the rates are extremely high for new years, so spending the night is not an option. Do you have any recommendations on where we could stay at a reasonable rate? 2 adults and 2 kids traveling. Thanks in advance.

Budget? # and type of beds? (If the kids are 12+, in hotel-speak that's an adult.)

Where are you going afterNew York City? Returning to Hershey?

Does "on New Years" mean literally January 1st?

It's 3 hours at a minimum from Hershey to New York City. If you're doing this on January 1st you'll have plenty of company on the roads. Maybe 4 hours.

Google maps estimates 3 hours to drive fromHershey to Manhattan, WITHOUT traffic. So for you to do this as a day trip you would have to drive over 6 hours, with the site seeing in between.

What do you mean by ' on new years.' ... does that mean you want to visit on Jan 1? Looking at hotels.com for one night (check in Jan 1, check out Jan 2) for 2 adults and 2 teens I see lots of good options between $150 and $199 and a few under $150 such as Hilton Garden Inn, Times Square for $128; Hampton Inn Times Square North for $121 and Cambria Hotel in Chelsea for $111. All of these rates are before tax and pre-paid/non-refundable. Some have higher rates that are refundable too. And, if your kids are under 12, it could be less.

if you change your arrival date to Jan 2, you have even more options under $130 (pre tax).

Of course, if you are driving, those rates do not include parking.

Happy Planning!

Thanks everyone. The plan was to drive toNYC on 12/31 early in the AM and return prior to midnight. But, I didn't factor in the holiday traffic. So, we will probably have to nix the idea. We need to begin our drive back to Florida on 1/1. Thanks for the feedback!

Good call. The last thing you'd want to do is drive into Manhattan on the same day that 1million+ people are gathering in the streets for New Years Eve.
