Who needs this kind of stress in their lives? Book an earlier train or a later flight
No. Rush hour is terrible and toss up between subway and car. Wouldnt advise
It’s not even risky. Unless your flight is delayed you just will not make it
Risky. Unless you took a helicopter, I wouldn’t recommend.
The people who noticed that OP said “boarding at 6" — you’re the hero’s we don’t deserve.
Yes. That is enough time to make your flight if you have pre check. You’ll probably get to the airport at 5:50-6pm.
Risky. Cab would be fastest but by the time you get out and get in cab, would be past 5 and at best would arrive at airport when boarding begins. Wouldn’t take the chance.
Flight is boarding at 6, not departing, which makes it not that bad. Just take the E to Jackson Heights or walk to the N to Astoria Blvd and cab from there if you want to avoid the rush hour
Boarding at 6pm, you should be fine. Unless train is late.
Rush hour in NYC? That could be tight- especially if your train is late, which happens frequently at Penn.
Risky is the right answer — sources of risk include the tunnel into nyc on Amtrak, catching a taxi at Penn, E train delays if you choose to take that to queens and then taxi to lga, traffic cross town at rush hour, security lines. Lots of sources. That said, if you ran that route every day for ten days straight, I bet you’d make it 8 or 9 times, but never with more than 15 minutes before they close the boarding door.
It depends; what is the relative rate at which the distance between them is increasing and is it a right angle?
Take the Long Island railroad to Woodside (10 mins), get a cab underneath the overpass - they are always waiting there. The cab doesn’t have to get on highways. The cab ride will take 10 more mins.
Nope. There’s the last mile connectivity by bus from Jackson Heights which will kill you.
Nope
This is NYC and penn is 7 miles from LGA given rush hour traffic in a cab/Uber and the subway is.... subway, your fastest option is to sprint the 7 miles. Can you sprint 7 miles in an hour? Did you run track back in high school?
Such an exaggeration. Word record speed is 28mph, averaging 7mph for an hour straight is clearly doable. This is just under 9min mile guys repeated 7 times. AND we are talking a guy here right? A simply go bag and laptop is all we are talking? It’s not like he will be “sprinting” with 50lbs of clothes dragging behind him.
OP did you make it?

I would take the 7 train or something to queens. Avoid manhattan traffic as much as possible and hope for the best
