Transfer from LGA to JFK with a stop in Manhattan
I have a layover on a Sunday from 9:00 am to about 5:30 pm (the first leg is a domestic flight with AA arriving at LGA, the second leg is an international flight with Finnair departing from JFK). So I'll have an 8-hour window. I'm thinking about spending a couple of hours in Manhattan, just walking around (I think I'll only have a backpack). What is the best way in terms of transportation? (I don't consider Uber since it'll be too expensive.)
Let's say I want to go to the area near the Carnegie Hall and I don't want to spend more than $20-25 each way. (But even if I land at a different area of Manhattan, I think I can walk to another its part - as noted below, I'll have 4 hours.) At some point, I considered a shuttle, but the one I found starts operating at noon or something (on Sundays).
Best Answer
LGA to Manhattan: M60 bus from LGA to Manhattan.
Manhattan to JFK: Take the E line from Manhattan to the Jamaica-179th Station and then the Q2 bus to JFK.
Each one will take about an hour. It looks like you're already deducting the 2h early you're supposed to get to the airport from the window (9am to 5:30pm is 8h30m) so I guess doing it this way would give you about 4h in Manhattan.
