JFK opened in 1948 as Idlewild and expanded air travel for New York; LaGuardia opened in 1939 to serve shorter regional flights and business traffic.
Conservation
Shared transfers reduce per-passenger emissions compared with single-occupancy car trips; consider consolidating rides and minimizing idling while waiting to reduce impact.

Confirm terminal and flight details
Provide your flight number and terminal when booking and again on arrival so drivers can track delays and meet you at the right curb.
Allow extra buffer during peak hours
Plan for 60–120 minutes travel time; weekday rush hours and holiday weekends can double transit times to Manhattan.
Have the driver number handy
Call the driver after baggage claim to get precise pickup directions—terminals and pickup points vary by carrier and airport.
Pack carry-on essentials
Keep valuables and a light layer in your carry-on—the van stays cool or warm depending on season and tunnel drafts.
Valid photo ID (passport or driver's license)
Required for hotel check-in and sometimes requested by drivers.
Fully charged mobile phone
Needed to receive driver calls, show booking confirmation, and navigate last-mile directions.
Luggage with sturdy wheels
Smooth-rolling bags speed curbside transfers and simplify loading into the Sprinter.
Compact travel umbrella or outer layer
Useful for sudden rain or chilly rides through tunnel winds.
