Making the Trip from JFK to Brooklyn
Brooklyn may be just across the East River from Manhattan, but getting there from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is a very different trip. With neighborhoods spread across one of New York City’s largest boroughs, travel times can range from about 30 to 60 minutes depending on your destination, traffic, and time of day.
Whether you’re staying in Williamsburg, Brooklyn Heights, DUMBO, Park Slope, Downtown Brooklyn, or another neighborhood, reserving your airport transportation in advance helps simplify your arrival. Instead of transferring between trains or managing luggage through multiple subway stations, choose the transportation option that best fits your trip.
The trip from JFK to Brooklyn typically takes 20 to 40 minutes depending on your neighborhood. Downtown Brooklyn, Park Slope, Williamsburg, and DUMBO are among the most frequently requested destinations — all significantly closer to JFK than to LaGuardia or Newark.
GO Airport Shuttle offers shared airport shuttles, private cars, SUVs, and vans for solo travelers, families, business travelers, and groups. Whether you’re heading to a boutique hotel, vacation rental, residence, or the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal, you’ll have transportation arranged before your flight even lands.
If you’re planning your return trip to JFK, booking round-trip transportation at the same time helps eliminate one more item from your travel checklist.
