The city's train and bus terminals are centrally located and connected to major subway stations.   By air Three major airports serve New York. International and domestic flights are handled at John F Kennedy (JFK) (tel 718/244-4444), in the borough of Queens, and Newark (tel 973/961-6000), in northern New Jersey; La Guardia (tel 718/533-3400), also in Queens, handles domestic flights only. Taxis are the easiest option if you are in a group or are arriving at an antisocial hour. Expect to pay $16-22 from La Guardia, a flat rate of $35 from JFK and $35-55 from Newark; you'll be responsible for the turnpike and tunnel tolls - an extra $5 or so. And don't forget a tip of fifteen to twenty percent. Another good way into Manhattan is by bus , the two Manhattan terminals, used by all airport buses, being Grand Central Station and the Port Authority Bus Terminal. By bus or train If you come by Greyhound, Trailways, Bonanza, or any other long-distance bus line , you arrive at the Port Authority Bus Terminal at 42nd Street and Eighth Avenue. By Amtrak train , you arrive at Penn Station, 32nd Street and Seventh and Eighth avenues. Both stations are well positioned for all manner of subway service.
