EY 1 That’s not helpful. My wife warned me earlier not to post this in desi group but in some other group for the same reason.

It depends.

If you’re solving for convenience, then UberXL/SUV or two UberX’s should be good.

If you’re solving for cost, then you could do the shuttle (though it’ll be HIGHLY inconvenient)

Split into 2 Uber XLs. That would be most continent. 10 bags and 4 People would fit.

Omg, the questions here are just mind numbing.

OP you’ll need more than one car. So either couple of Uber’s but if you’re not able to call multiple - then yellow cabs.
Cannot emphasize enough to not use the random people (at T4) that offer rides no matter how cheap it sounds!

Two XL, or one cab and one U haul ? There is no one best way, you need to know your constraints rather than saying your wife warned you against us

There are shuttles

4 adults I would just take a cab it’s a flat fee into the city.

Thanks guys, it’s not just about 4 people, there are total 10 bags, out of which 6 are big ones

If looking for convenience..get 2 Uber (x/l)...if saving for money then the trains are also decent ..think 5 dollars for the air train plus 2.75 for the metro..so 7.75 per person .but you have 10 bags for 4 people.. per person taking more than 2 bags will be difficult ..

You can check Uber prices easily ..but 2 Uber will be much more expensive than the train option

OP - since you’re posting this I’m assuming you’re looking for cost effective way. The shuttles are no good as they charge 9-15 dollars a person. So with 5 people it might add up quick. Also I doubt the shuttles can take 10 bags and even if they do, you will get a few dirty looks.

My advice is to take the subway. There are transfers you can take that minimize walking. E.G the E to Roosevelt Avenue and then F without having to walk as the E and F are on the same line in queens.

Can you let me know where you need to get to in Manhattan? I can give you a route.

Just do 2 Uber XL. U have no other option

Omg please don’t do trains with 10 bags, your wife will leave you! If you had the gall the pack 10 bags, just do 2 Ubers(xl preferably). Also wtf do you have in 10 bags?

OP - also isn’t this simple enough / trivial to figure yourself vs posting ?

At Cognizant they are solving harder problems. This is for us to solve. OP try to find porter with luggage cart who can cart those suitcases kerbside, that’s the biggest challenge you will need to solve. Then take two yellow cabs if lines aren’t long or do 2 Uber XL

Come on Guys why are you giving OP shit.
