Ernie's Taxi drives the Stamford to JFK Airport run from our Mount Kisco base, 19 miles from Stamford, so the car is already nearby when you book. Door to door it is roughly 40 miles to the airport in Jamaica, Queens. In normal traffic plan on 55–75 minutes; weekday rush hours (7–9 AM and 4–7 PM) and holiday weekends add 20–30 minutes, which is why we build a buffer into every airport pickup time.
How we go: I-95 or the Merritt and Hutchinson River Parkways to the Throgs Neck Bridge, then the Cross Island and Belt Parkways into JFK. Our drivers run this road constantly and switch crossings when live traffic shows a backup.
JFK spreads its terminals around a large central loop, so tell us your airline when you book and the driver drops you at the correct departures curb rather than the wrong end of the airport.
The nearest Metro-North station to Stamford is Stamford on the New Haven Line, about 3 minutes away, with Glenbrook and Noroton Heights also close. The train gets you to Grand Central, but reaching JFK from Grand Central still means the subway or LIRR plus the AirTrain, all with your luggage. A car from Stamford is one vehicle, one driver, door to door in about 55–75 minutes.
We cover all of Fairfield County and run the same JFK Airport route from Old Greenwich (2.2 mi from Stamford), Cos Cob, Riverside and Darien. Pickup is from any address: home, office, hotel or the Stamford station lot.
Book 24 hours ahead when you can; pickups before 6 AM must be reserved the day before.

About 55–75 minutes for the 40 miles in normal traffic. Weekday rush hours add 20–30 minutes. For a domestic flight we suggest a pickup about 3 h 15 min before departure.
Is Metro-North from Stamford a good alternative?
The Stamford station on the New Haven Line is about 3 minutes from Stamford and gets you to Grand Central, but reaching JFK from Grand Central still means the subway or LIRR plus the AirTrain, all with your luggage. Door to door by car is 55–75 minutes with no transfers.
Do you also pick up in Old Greenwich and Cos Cob?
Yes. Old Greenwich, Cos Cob, Riverside and Darien and every other town in Fairfield County get the same JFK Airport service; the flat rate depends on the pickup address.
