if you take the airtrain to lefferts blvd, you can get an Uber to crown heights for about $30, or take a city bus from there to the new lots Ave 3 train and get to crown heights for $2.90 in under an hour
I took that bus to New Lots once and will never do it again
Or take air train to Jamaica and take the LIRR to Atlantic and then the 3 to ch
It’s a journey but it’s cheaper than an uber!
Bus to port authority and 3 train to ch
It’s the best option if you’re landing in Newark.
Generally, I would not recommend flying into newark though if you can avoid it. Too far
For the queens
the b15 transfers to the 3 train at new lots ave
Construction at JFK has made it a nightmare. We arrived late at night and were forced to take a bus to a different location before we could get an uber. It was so inconvenient and exhausting
It’s near the Ohel…
I used to fly out of Newark a-lot, I live in Flatbush. Lately, I have been flying out of LGA. It’s closer, Bli Ayin Hara has had less issues than Newark and the airport is way nicer.
LGA now is NICE, clean, easy to get around, a good parking garage with clearly marked areas for uber/lyft .
It’s so good! B”H a real upgrade!
The passenger pickup and Uber area is pretty straightforward!
Jfk is under construction now and it takes longer to get to the uber area
It’s time for a kosher cafe in LGA and JFK ! Please can we make this happen🙏🏻
On my recent trip there were some airport kiosks that had a sign selling kosher food. From wall Street grill
in terminal b there is kosher sanwiches and some salads vechulu after security
satmar hechesher so you choose
Definitely use uber its not worth any other Schlep
I’ve seen airports Ubers be over $80. In that scenario you really need to think of different people’s financial situation before telling everyone to uber
Close to ohel- end of story
and?
Newly renovated and Uber is easy
The taxi from EWR to CH is so expensive
Easier to get around less delays better airport but if you’re landing and want to go straight to Ohel than JFK is more convenient
No lines, takes so fast to get to your gates
Many years ago, at LaGuardia, I had to daven Mincha.
So I asked an African porter if he knew which way was east..
He touched his finger near his temple, thinking. Then he
points to a wall and says, “It must be over there because
sometimes, I see your brothers going like this,” and he
starts shucking a little. LOL!
Cute story!
I have been to allot of airports and cities.
Newark is by far the smoothest procces out of all of them.
Can just be annoying the drive.
But the airport and the city is incredible, newark is changing!
JFK for taking off (uber goes direct to terminal)
LGA for landing in (American and delta are short walk to ride share pickup)
EWR if you have time, and few bags and can take public transport (I haven’t experienced since the recent issues with cancellations)
Each airport has a benefit, just depends on who’s traveling and which way you are going.
Btw – if you are flying with kids and you order an uber black (supposed to replicate a limo experience) you can call, and tell them you have a baby, and they might be willing to pick you up from the terminal.
Jfk says take sky train to queens for Uber, so we went outside and called sholom.car service and went out. Was much cheaper then Uber. All depends on how much luggage shlepping
LGA is by far the smoothest and easiest departure and arrival experience. Anyone who says otherwise does not fly often.
ohel and then take bus to ohel to ch
just take the a uber straight to crown heights much much quicker
אין תורות בדרך כלל כדי להיכנס משא״כ ב
JFK שיש כל הזמן צורות והרבה אנשים ולא כיף להיכנס לשם בחסרון ב EWR
זה שזה מדינה אחרת ואובר לוקח הרבה כסף אבל מי שיודע לנסוע ברכבת או שיש לו חבר עם רכב שבא לאסוף אותו אז ממליץ מאוד
