How is traffic to JFK from Lower Manhattan on weekday mornings? I need to be at the airport by 8:45am this Friday.

I’d give yourself at least 75 minutes to get there. The Van Vyck can be absolutely evil at any time of day.

Thank you!

My rule of thumb is to look at how long it’ll take me on the A/E there (depending where you are). If traffic is brutal, I just go via public transit. It’s usually around 90 min. So I give myself at least that. For a 845 flight, depending on how adventurous you are, I’d be ready to leave between 630 and 7.

Thank you for the tip! My flight is at 930am and I have precheck so arrival has to be around 845am.

I didn’t even think about that even though that’s why I’m traveling this week 😅 Thank you!

Check the travel time the same time Thursday. Add 15 mins for it then being a Friday.
