Depending on where you're flying you might be able to use B6 which has great planes, service and an awesome new terminal at JFK.
P.S. Welcome to the neighborhood.
Thanks a lot armattheus. I too will be living just north of Prospect Park. I guess it technically would be Prospect Heights as well.
I'll certainly consider EWR. Having lived in DC for a while the non-stop issue was a large one, could barely fly anywhere west of TX going non-stop if I wasn't willing to go out to Dulles. I'm looking forward to doing non-stop's everywhere domestically now.
I'm leaning towards AA due to the Skypeso's issues. I always like to have 2 airlines in the fold as the pricing on one typically is just too expensive to rationalize.
In terms of atlantic terminal, I'll just take the subway a stop or two and transfer to LIRR there. How long is it from there to JFK? I assume I get off at Jamaica and switch to Airtrain?
Any idea of what cabs cost from JFK to your place? Is flying LGA a horrendous idea? Thanks in advance for all your help.
