A $50 cab ride. It's the only way to get into Manhattan, right?
Actually, there's another option, and it's a lot cheaper.
When our family arrived at JFK at 7:45 a.m., we hopped on the Air Train. We paid $5 to ride a train that zips you to the subway. It's free for kids 5 and under, so my son rode for free. We only had to pay $15 for three of us.
At the subway, we paid another $2.25 for my husband and me; the station agent said the kids were short enough to get in free. And so we got into Manhattan for $19.50--more than half what we would have paid a cab driver.
Is there a downside? Well, yes. After taking the train, the subway, and then walking to our hotel, it took us nearly two hours to reach our destination. We would have arrived in an hour in a cab. But when your flight gets in long before anything is open, taking public transit is a great way to kill some time.
