Transportation from LaGuardia airport

There are several ways to get to Sunnyside from LaGuardia Airport:

  • Taxi:  there are always taxis waiting outside of ground transportation. Tell them you're going to 1) 41st St., Sunnyside or 2) 41st St. Queens Blvd., or 3) 41st St., Long Island City. Any one of these instructions will get you to Sunnyside, the great neighborhood.
  • Subway: $2.25 bus + $2.25 subway or less w/Metrocard (With a MetroCard all transfers are free and reduced fares are available). Note: if you plan to stay in NY longer than a week, it is economical to buy a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly pass.
  • Bus & Subway:
    • 1st: Take the Q33 bus (bus map) from the airport terminal to the subway "7" train station at Jackson Heights (74th Roosevelt Avenue).
    • 2nd: Take the subway train "7" (violet color in the subway map) in the direction of Manhattan (heading to Times Square) and get off at 40th Lowry Street.
    • 3rd: Walk back one block on the Queens Blvd. to reach 41st St., look for the corner of Berger King (north of Queens Blvd.).
    • 4th: Walk one and a half blocks and find the building with a wooden door facing the PS school ground (I will provide the address once you pay the deposit).
  • Door to door car shuttle: (could take a longer time than taxi as you have to wait for the arrival of the car service unless pre-arranged)--the prices below may be outdated:
    • ETS Air Shuttle: $25-$30 (718) 221-5341
    • Super Shuttle Manhattan: $25-$30 (212) 258-3826
    • Fenix Car Service 718-821-2121
    • Four Ones Car Service 718-456-1111
    • Liberty Car Service 718-366-6666
    • Parangse Call Taxi: $16 (718)888-9999 
    • The host is NOT associated with any of these entities. These are only for your information.

Transportation from JFK Airport:


Taking a taxi is the easiest solution (see above for door-to-door shuttle service), but this can be expensive (around $30-$40). There are fixed prices at the airport and they are posted in the cab. There is no reason for the driver to ask you for any more and it is up to you to decide how much you want to tip (normally 15% but it can go higher if the driver helps you load and unload more than one large, heavy luggage).

Print out the map (by clicking the map below) and hand it to the driver to help him find the apartment building on 41st St. between Queens Blvd. and Skilman Avenue. 

You can save money by taking the Air Train and this should cost you about a total of $8.00.  Though economical, this may not be a good choice if you have more than one large, heavy luggage. Air Train goes only up to Jamaica where you have to transfer to a local subway twice (many stairs involved). Look at the
subway map here which shows all the subways in NYC. JFK airport is on the far right of the map, midway between the top and bottom.

  • 1st:  Follow the signs at JFK to Air Train and take it to Jamaica.
  • 2nd:  Take the E train to Jackson Heights (74th St. & Roosevelt) and transfer to the "7" train (violet color in the subway map) in the direction of Manhattan (heading to the Times Square).
  • 3rd:  Get off at 40th Lowry Street station and walk back one block on the Queens Blvd. to reach the 41st St., and look for the corner with Berger King (north of Queens Blvd.)
  • 4th: Walk one and a half blocks and find the building with a wooden gate facing a PS school ground (I will provide the address once you pay the deposit).
