Your ride to JFK Airport from Riverside. Door-to-door rides from Riverside, CT to JFK in a Premium Black Sedan or SUV. One fixed price, confirmed at booking.
Riverside is a waterfront neighborhood in the Town of Greenwich, between Cos Cob and Old Greenwich, with its own Metro-North station. Riverside's streets run from the Post Road down to the water around Riverside Yacht Club and the Mianus River, and I-95 Exit 5 is only a minute or two from most of them.
Your chauffeur starts onto I-95 at Exit 5 in Riverside, then takes I-95 or the Hutchinson River Parkway south into the Bronx, across the Whitestone or Throgs Neck Bridge, then the Van Wyck Expressway to the terminals. Expect about 35 mi and 50 min – 1 hr 10 min on a normal day; the Van Wyck Expressway is where the time goes when traffic is heavy.

From Riverside, plan the pickup 3 hr 15 min before a domestic departure and 4 hr 15 min before an international one.
Overseas flights from JFK close check-in about 60 minutes before departure, so don't trim the 3-hour cushion on an international trip. Flights before 8 AM are the easy case: roads are clear and the drive is closer to 50 min.
Take the New Haven Line from Riverside to Grand Central, then the LIRR from Grand Central Madison to Jamaica and the AirTrain to your terminal — three legs with luggage.
By car it's one ride from your door: 50 min – 1 hr 10 min to JFK. If you're flying overseas, the car also saves you hauling large suitcases through Grand Central and onto the AirTrain.
Late December is the busiest stretch for international departures from JFK, and the airport roads are at their worst on the evenings before the holidays. Book the Riverside pickup early, and add 30 minutes to the usual cushion that week.
