Roads used: From the center of Yorktown Heights the driver spends about 7 minutes on Underhill Avenue (2.8 mi) before joining the Taconic State Parkway; after that it is the Sprain Brook Parkway, the Bronx River Parkway, the Cross County Parkway, the Hutchinson River Parkway, the Hutchinson River Expressway, the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge, the Whitestone Expressway and the Van Wyck Expressway to JFK Airport. It crosses the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge (a tolled crossing). If traffic turns, the Throgs Neck Bridge is the usual fallback when the Whitestone backs up; the dispatcher checks live conditions before the car leaves Yorktown Heights.

JFK spreads its terminals around one large central loop, so give us the airline when you book and the driver goes straight to the right departures curb.
Katonah station (Harlem Line) is about 15 minutes from Yorktown Heights, with Mount Kisco (18 min) and Bedford Hills (19 min) as backups. The catch for JFK Airport is what comes after Grand Central: the subway or LIRR from Grand Central or Penn Station and the AirTrain to the terminals. That is why most Yorktown Heights travellers with luggage book the car instead.
Closest first: Amawalk (1.3 mi), Yorktown (2.5 mi), Granite Springs (2.9 mi) and Cortlandt Manor (3.3 mi). Station pickups at Katonah are timed to your train.
