Best wat to get to JFK Airport

[jdini76]

Yahoo maps has me taking Lincoln Tunnel, But it seems Holland Tunnel would be better. Anybody have any suggestions?

Coming from Union county, NJ area.

Looks like Holland tunnel takes you through Manhattan. Wouldn't that suck for traffic?

If you take the holland tunnel, it takes you to canal st.. From there it will take you to the Manhattan bridge. Then that will take you on the BQE/LIE to JFK.

If you take Lincoln tunnel, you'll have to cut through midtown in order to get to the midtown tunnel. When you get out of the tunnel it will then take you to the BQE/LIE to JFK.

You'll run into traffic with both routes, but the first choice would most likely be less. Yahoo recommended the Lincoln tunnel way because that's probably the shortest way distance wise.

1. 78-NJ tpke exit 13a-Goethels-SI expy-VZ bridge-Belt pkwy east to JFK
2. Holland-Willaimsburg Bridge-BQE-LIE-VanWyk-JFK
3. Lincoln-Midtown tunnel-LIE-Vanwyk-JFK.

Listen to traffic reports and decide, no real difference either way.

I've done this hundreds of times.
Don't go through Manhattan, go through Staten Island.
Take the Parkway north , exit right after the Raritan/Driscoll Bridge (I think it's 129).
Take the Outerbridge Crossing.
Get onto 440 towards the Staten Island EXPWY.
Get on Staten Island Expressway, stay straight until the Verrazano Bridge.
Go over the Verrazano, get onto the Belt Parkway take it straight until the airport exit.
