Plan the transfer from the airport to the city 

One of the crucial moments when traveling to New York is organizing transfers. The city has three airports: the largest, JFK; La Guardia, located in Queens; and Newark, in the state of New Jersey. When booking a flight, it is key to verify which airport you will land at, and not rely solely on ticket prices. JFK is often the most convenient option for tourists due to its accessibility via public transportation. In the case of landing at JFK, the subway can be a good option, especially if the flight is not at night, since security can be a problem at those times. Taxis are a quick alternative, although caution should be taken with unauthorized taxis that offer their services at airport exits. A sure way to avoid them is to use apps like Lyft or Uber. Opting for private transportation is also an excellent choice, especially when traveling in a group. Fares start at $105, varying depending on the number of passengers, the airport of origin and the additional services you wish to include.

Create a custom itinerary 

One of the central aspects when it comes to New York is the development of effective itineraries that consider distances, climate and the most favorable times to visit certain places. To optimize time and at the same time save money, tourist cards are an excellent alternative to discover the most outstanding attractions of the city. If you choose not to purchase them, it is recommended to purchase tickets for museums, viewpoints and attractions in advance, since, during the high season, the lines are usually long.
