I am thinking of taking CX840 JFK or CX890 EWR and plan to take a taxi into downtown Manhattan. Does anyone know if either of these flights would generally run into long queues at immigration, or have horrible traffic congestion on the way to town? Thanks
If you want to avoid long queue at USA, then EWR is the way to go. JFK you hit into BA jumbo and immigration easily becomes 500+ people. If you are not Global Entry forget it, it's easily 1 HR plus if not more for non-citizens.
EWR gets to downtown Manhattan easily too by asking them to take the Holland tunnel and you get right in.
