Time From JFK to a Show

Wanting peoples opinions on if i%26#39;m mad trying to make a show on the day I arrive in New York.

I arrive at JFK at 2.45pm and the show I want to see starts at 7pm

In that time I have to go through passport control, get luggage, get a taxi to just south of Central Park, check in at my hotel and then get to 15th Street

Is that doable? I%26#39;d need to leave myself a bit of leeway too in case my flight is late

I%26#39;m thinking this is a bit risky, what do you think?

Thanks

Time From JFK to a Show

It%26#39;s doable If you can get out of the airport like in a hour or so and your flight is on time.. I think you will be on the move but you should make it. I guess you like living on the edge a bit lol.

Time From JFK to a Show

I%26#39;m in two minds over it and want to see if people think I%26#39;m mad for even contemplating it. If things go well it could work like this

2.45pm - land

4.00pm - Leave airport in taxi

4.45pm - reach hotel and check in

5.00pm - leave hotel

5.30pm - arrive at theatre

Gives me an hour and a half leeway and I think none of those times are too unrealistic

If the plane arrives on time is another matter tho!!

Yes that%26#39;s the way I look at it also. Just hope for not too much traffic and plane lands on time. There is no other time to see this show or day? If not I guess take your chances.

JFK to Manhattan at night.

Hi. My family and I will visit NYC next July, our plane will land at terminal 8, at 10:30 PM. But my question is what is the best way to get at that hour to Manhattan? Is it safe to take public transport (Airtrain, subway) at that hour? or Is it better to take a taxi at the airport? In your experience how long do you think that take us go through migration and customs?

Thanks in advance for your advices.

JFK to Manhattan at night.

There is no problem taking public transportation at night. My only concern is that if you are traveling with little ones, they will be exhausted and not do well on the transfers.

JFK to Manhattan at night.

We%26#39;ve got a late arrival at JFK as well. We get in at 11pm. We%26#39;re flying in from elsewhere in the US so won%26#39;t have the hassle of going through customs.

Am I right in thinking that the cab will be a flat fare and with tip included will be $60? We%26#39;re going to East 58th Street.

I take it we%26#39;ll get a straight run in at that time of day? We arrive on a Monday.

Thanks.

Yes, cab fare between JFK and anywhere in Manhattan is a flat charge of $45, plus tolls %26amp; tip, so your $60 estimate is fine.

At that time of the evening, you shouldn%26#39;t encounter much traffic congestion.

Thanks.

***Cinemas close to Lexington Ave?***

Hello,

We are staying at 569 Lexington Ave (Doubletree Metropolitan Hotel)and wondered if there are any decent cinemas close by such as an IMAX screen one? I won%26#39;t quite be 21 whilst there so at night we can%26#39;t exactly go out to a bar drinking etc so thought maybe one of the nights go see a movie as we are not into Broadway type shows.

Thanks,

~Becka

redeeming actual CityPass booklet (replacing print-out)

For my visit to New York next week, I will buy CityPass online. I have the option to print an E-ticket 鈥?a printout confirming my purchase 鈥?which I will redeem at any of the participating CityPass attractions for an actual CityPass booklet as per website info.

I wonder if I will need to wait a long time (say more than 10 minutes) in line to get my printout with the booklet? Or can I redeem it in a snap?

easyclicktravel.com?? Scam or just deals??

Hey can anyone tell me if they have used easyclicktravel.com before and whether anyone would trust them?? Found via Kayak.com and have good deals just not sure if safe??

Whats the cancelation policies on this and sites like them??

Many thanks

easyclicktravel.com?? Scam or just deals??

I%26#39;m also interested in the answer to this...they have some great hotel prices but would like to know they are a reputable site before using them for bookings.

easyclicktravel.com?? Scam or just deals??

I hope someone who%26#39;s actually used them will reply. Until then,

PS, when I did a web search for reviews of easyclick, I did find a few people saying they%26#39;d used them (for other locations besides NYC) with no problems. I think you just have to be careful about how the rate is described. Kayak features the lowest possible rate in the search. Then once you click through to it, often the rate for YOUR situation may be higher. (ie don%26#39;t book a government rate if you%26#39;re not entitled to it)

I booked a hotel in New York few weeks ago on easyclicktravel.com after I was redirected from Kayak.

There was no problem at all with my reservation.

On a later search there I saw that their prices are very reasonable (I was looking for NY and Chicago).

Looks legit...

I%26#39;ve used EasyClickTravel in the past and I consider them 100% legit.

I used EazyClickTravel a couple of years ago when visiting Las Vegas.

It was one of their ';secret'; hotels where the name is not revealed until after you pay, but being Vegas it was very clear from the description which hotel it was. I got a rate about 30% cheaper than was available on any other on-line site.

I had no problems at all with the booking - I was even able to modify the dates of my trip slightly without any difficulty, and I%26#39;d have no reason not to use them again in the future.

I%26#39;m glad I found this topic because I have the same question. When you book is your credit card charged immediatly or is it just a hold/gaurantee?

what is the cancellation policy?

Yeah good questions (the last two posts). Anyone know??

Cheers

Take care

I think asking others for cancellation policy is problematic. I have booked on sites where one hotel has one policy and another is different. Sometimes the cheapest prices have the least flexiblity. I would recommend looking carefully at each policy as you book.... and each time that you book.

This is much safer than relying on the anecdotal evidence of other TA users.

Great rate for Hampton Inn, Chelsea.

While researching hotel prices for my next NYC trip I came across what seems like a great rate for the Hampton Inn, Chelsea. For the dates of 13th Feb. 2010-18th Feb 2010 ebookers.com are quoting 拢392.50 for a 2 queen bedded room, by my calculations that works out at around $118 per night.

It%26#39;s no good for me because I need a suite but thought the info might be of some use for others planning a trip next year.

Oh, forgot to mention, that includes all taxes!

Worst new property EVER. Management is unfriendly and down right rude!!! If anyone ever picks up the phone you MIGHT get a chance to book a room but I wouldn%26#39;t count on it.... When you finally do get through the staff is oblivious. Sorry to say folks this place is NOT the place to be. I would suggest going with the more tried and true Yacht Club.
