A practical review of Go Airlink NYC’s $31 shared JFK transfer, with pickup instructions, timing concerns, hotel limits, and honest value advice.

“Driver was great and certainly knew how to navigate New York. The issue is the communication with company on arrival : very difficult to locate driver/ unsure what to do/ nearly jumped in another cab / lots of time wasting as they try to fit as many as possible into the van so we went back and forwards around terminals -will not use again .”

4.Manhattan: Bus Transfer from/to Newark Airport

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 1,382 reviews · from $25Best value

Review of the $25 Newark Airport Express bus, with terminal tips, Manhattan stops, timing, comfort, value, and advice for booking.

“Pre booking made life a whole lot easier. The service was quick, friendly and good value for money. I do think some signs would be beneficial as after a 8 hour flight it can be hard to navigate a new area but everyone is friendly and more than happy to answer a question or direct you.”
