Your ride to JFK Airport from Stamford. Door-to-door rides from Stamford, CT to JFK in a Premium Black Sedan or SUV. One fixed price, confirmed at booking.
Stamford is Fairfield County's biggest city, on I-95 with one of the busiest Metro-North stations in Connecticut. Stamford's downtown is full of corporate offices and hotels, and many of our Stamford trips start at a hotel lobby near the Stamford Transportation Center or at Harbor Point.
Your chauffeur starts onto I-95 downtown or the Merritt Parkway in North Stamford, 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. Door to door it's about 40 mi, usually 58 min – 1 hr 18 min, and the place that decides your timing is the Van Wyck Expressway.
JFK isn't the nearest airport to Stamford — that's HPN, about 35 min away — but it's often the one with the right flight. Overseas flights are the usual reason to choose JFK. You'll see the fixed fare before you book — $235.04 in a sedan or $278.55 in an SUV, tolls, taxes and gratuity included.

From Stamford, plan the pickup 3 hr 30 min before a domestic departure and 4 hr 30 min before an international one.
Evening international departures make late afternoon the busiest time at JFK's security lines — plan a little extra if your flight leaves between 5 and 10 PM. If your flight leaves in the late afternoon, give the Van Wyck Expressway extra room.
JFK is really several airports in one — check which terminal your airline uses before the day, and your chauffeur drives straight to that terminal's departures curb. For arrivals your chauffeur waits at the arrivals curb of your terminal; international passengers usually need 30–60 minutes after landing for passport control and bags, which is why we track the flight and count free waiting from the actual landing time.
Coming home, the trip back to Stamford takes about the same time; we track your flight and the 1 hour of free waiting starts when you land. JFK guide →
Take the New Haven Line from Stamford 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: 58 min – 1 hr 18 min to JFK. If you're flying overseas, the car also saves you hauling large suitcases through Grand Central and onto the AirTrain.
