Ernie's Taxi drives the Yorktown Heights to JFK Airport run from our Yorktown Heights base, 0.5 miles from Yorktown Heights, so the car is already nearby when you book. Door to door it is roughly 51 miles to the airport in Jamaica, Queens. In normal traffic plan on 70–95 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: the Hutchinson River Parkway or I-95 to the Whitestone or Throgs Neck Bridge, then the Cross Island and Belt Parkways or the Van Wyck Expressway 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 Yorktown Heights is Katonah on the Harlem Line, about 15 minutes away, with Mount Kisco and Bedford Hills 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 Yorktown Heights is one vehicle, one driver, door to door in about 70–95 minutes.
We cover all of Westchester County and run the same JFK Airport route from Amawalk (1.3 mi from Yorktown Heights), Yorktown, Granite Springs and Cortlandt Manor. Pickup is from any address: home, office, hotel or the Katonah station lot.
Book 24 hours ahead when you can; pickups before 6 AM must be reserved the day before.
