More on Cheap Flights to New York
We will go more into ground transportation later in trip planning, but they are not important once you have booked cheap flights to New York. Town cars and shuttle buses can be reserved the week or day before you arrive, and if you just want to take a taxi, there is nothing more to do. For many people, getting off the plane and into a NYC yellow taxi line becomes part of their NYC experience and a fond memory. With 3-4 people, shuttle buses won't save any money over the taxi fare.
For more information than you will ever need on NYC Airports and every last detail on transportation options, see Wiki Flyer Guide and the NYC Taxi and Limosine Commission. If you choose to take public transit (buses, shuttles, subways), which include several transfers and often carrying your luggage up and down stairs, you can get into NYC for $2.50 and the above sites will show you how to do just that.
