Two Queens Airports, One Transfer Plan

JFK and LaGuardia are both in Queens—roughly 12 miles apart by road—but the transfer between them is one of the most time-sensitive ground moves in the region. Your outcome depends on terminal pickup rules, highway conditions on the Van Wyck and Grand Central Parkway, and how quickly you can exit the arriving terminal.

This page is for travelers who need a private, reservation-based car service that coordinates pickup based on real flight arrival timing, terminal constraints, and luggage needs—not rideshare guesswork. Whether you’re connecting same-day flights, switching airlines between airports, or traveling with family and luggage, the transfer should be planned around your next departure, not your current landing.

Every inter-airport transfer includes complimentary flight tracking when you provide flight details, 60 minutes of wait time for domestic arrivals (90 for international), and direct chauffeur communication so you know exactly where to go after landing.

What Determines Your Transfer Time

Terminal Curb Access

Pickup rules change during construction. Port Authority advisories can redirect for-hire vehicle pickup at specific JFK and LGA terminals.

Queens Highway Traffic

The Van Wyck Expressway and Grand Central Parkway connect the airports but congestion swings quickly. Peak hours can double the drive time.

Bags vs Carry-On

Checked bags add 15–30 minutes at baggage claim. If your connection is tight, carry-on only significantly reduces your exit time.

Terminal Exit Speed

How fast you clear the terminal and reach the pickup point matters most. International arrivals at JFK can add 20–40 minutes for customs.

JFK Terminal Coordination

JFK pickup rules can change by terminal due to roadway construction and Port Authority travel advisories. For example, Terminals 5 and 7 have had temporary pickup-area relocations that affect where for-hire vehicles stage.

What you do: send your airline, flight number, and arriving terminal at booking. Keep your phone on after landing. Follow your chauffeur’s instructions to the correct pickup location for that terminal and date.

If your terminal has an off-site pickup requirement, your chauffeur routes you to the designated pickup point and coordinates timing so you’re not standing around.

LGA Terminal B: Why It Matters

At LaGuardia, pickup logistics vary by terminal. Terminal B pickup for for-hire vehicles is commonly directed to the Terminal B Parking Garage (Level 2)—not the general curbside.

This is exactly why this page exists: the best transfer isn’t just the drive—it’s knowing where you’re supposed to meet so you don’t lose 15–25 minutes circling. Your chauffeur texts you with specific walking directions from baggage claim to the correct pickup level.

Buffer Planning: Don’t Miss Your Flight

If you have a hard departure time, tell us. Your pickup plan should be built backward from boarding, not forward from landing.

What eats time

  • Deplaning + walking to terminal exits
  • Checked baggage or oversized items
  • International customs & immigration at JFK
  • Construction detours to pickup areas
  • Van Wyck / GCP peak-hour traffic

What to share at booking

  • Arriving flight number + terminal
  • Departing airline + terminal (if known)
  • Checked bags: yes or no
  • Passenger count + luggage details
  • Departing flight boarding time

How It Works

1

Share Both Flights

Book online and provide your arriving flight details (airline, flight number, terminal) plus your departing flight time and terminal. We build the transfer plan around your connection window.

2

Flight Tracking Activates

We monitor your arriving flight from departure through landing. If it runs early or late, your chauffeur adjusts automatically. No need to call from the tarmac.

3

Terminal Pickup

Your chauffeur stages at the correct pickup area for your terminal (including garage-level pickups at LGA Terminal B) and texts you when in position with walking directions.

4

Direct Transfer

Van Wyck to Grand Central Parkway (or reverse). Your chauffeur takes the fastest route based on live traffic. Curbside drop-off at your departing terminal.
