Scottish Departures : Norwegian and Delta start direct flights to New York from Scotland

Transport from New York Airport (JFK), USA

Kennedy Airport is New York's principal international airport. It lies on Long Island, adjacent to Jamaica Bay, about 15 miles southeast of downtown Manhattan. This massive airport has 9 passenger terminals, all linked by the free AirTrain. Driving access is via the Van Wyck 678 and JFK Expressways, the two main highways in/out of the airport, but this can be very slow. Most public transport journeys involve the airport's AirTrain monorail system. Transport Information desks are in all arrivals areas.
Taxis	Available 24 hours at cab stands in front of terminals. Fares can be quite expensive from airport, for the latest taxi fares to Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, Staten Island, La Guardia etc. see Kennedy Airport Taxis.

The quickest reliable way into Manhattan is to take the AirTrain JFK to Jamaica Station, then the fast Long Island Railroad (LIRR) to Penn Station in Manhattan; you need $5 bills or credit card for the ticket machine - no change given.
