Getting Around
Flying in for PIFF
When flying to New York City for PIFF, there are three airports in the area:
- John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK)
- LaGuardia Airport (LGA)
- Newark Liberty International Airport – in New Jersey (EWR)
Getting Around NYC
If your destination is not within walking distance, public transportation is one of the most efficient ways to get around NYC. You can get around with yellow cabs and ride shares (Uber, Lyft, Revel, etc.), but traffic can be unpredictable. Also, parking can be very challenging and expensive in NYC so we advise against renting a car.
- Public Transportation
- We strongly encourage all PIFF attendees to use NYC’s public transportation.
