Hi,

Can anyone give me a rough idea of the time it would take (and how I would go about it) to get from both LGA and EWR to JFK? I am looking at a flight that gives five hours to make it with the onward destination being international. Is this enough time? It is on a Saturday afternoon. Thanks in advance.

LGA to JFK would be the better chose, as both are in Queens.
As long as your incoming flight is on time, it shouldn’t be a problem.

There is a shuttle bus that takes you between the two airports.

Do not try doing a transfer from ewr to jfk.Even by cab it’s going to be about an hour+ ride!Lga-JFk can be done via the shuttle mentioned above and also in a cab for about $15

The port authority has train connection instructions that include EWR to JFK, and the reverse. Its at http://www.panynj.go…

They don’t appear at first glance to have a time estimate, but I haven’t used the site recently, nor made that connection.

However, from EWR, you have to go from EWR air train -> NJ transit/Amtrack train to Penn Station -> Penn station LIRR to Jamaica -> JFK airtrain from Jamaica.

You need a metro card for the Airtrain to JFK, a LIRR ticket for Penn station to Jamaica, and a ticket for the EWR to Penn station.
Also the trains don’t run as frequently on the weekend.
