I also live in Chelsea. I take the train 95% of the time and the transit time to either jFK or EWR is roughly the same. EWR costs $10 more but both are under $20. And if you're taking a car anyways I'm not suer what the hassle is. Call dispatch, stand on the curb, get in, ride, get out.

You got fleeced by a cab driver. Definitely blame UA for that.

Decidedly not $20, but keep trying.

There is one river crossing from any of the three airports to Manhattan. If you're crossing more than one bridge or tunnel you're doing it wrong.
