Hey NYC folk! It's been over a year since I was last here, and am about to land at JFK. What's the best way to get out of the airport these days? Heading to FiDi. Lyft / Uber Pool or other? Thank you!

Yellow cab is flat rate to Manhattan so generally cheaper than lyft / Uber

Second that notion. Also there is a private bus for $19.

I avoid using cars in the city as traffic always sucks, so am an advocate of using the subway in/out of JFK. I would take the airtrain to Howard beach and get the A train to the city, relatively quick and much cheaper way to get to FiDi.
However if you’re not a fan or got too many bags, last time I checked both Uber and Lyft offered rides and it was fine, takes probably as long as the subway and should cost around 60+tip.

Perfect, thanks so much M1! I've never been able to wrangle public transport from JFK in the past as I've always had a tonne of bags - but travelling cabin luggage only this time, so great tip!

Ended up going the AirTrain / A Train route. Worked a charm. Thank you again!

I posted this somewhere else before I remembered that I am in this bowl :) so, I changed jobs 6-7 months ago and I am realizing it is not a good fit. Leadership seem to not want to hear the truth so people tell them what they want to hear and if you don’t middle management gets pissed at you. I am seriously thinking about looking somewhere else. My question is how do you answer the “why are you looking to leave” question without bad mouthing your current company?
