@thekatieromero I’ve been using @uber Shuttle and it has totally changed the game for me. You schedule a shared airport ride, you book right in the Uber app for under $30. Use code: KATIESHUTTLE25 There are multiple pickup stops throughout Manhattan, to all 3 major airports, the shuttles run every 30 minutes from 6 AM–11 PM, and you can book up to 3 days in advance or even right before departure. Such a good travel hack to know before your next trip to nyc. #UberPartner #NYCTips #NYC

Guys, we need no stop spending so much money going to the airport. This is what you need to do instead. Tier shuttle is the best option. I paid under $20 compared to, like, a $100 that I paid before. You can choose from multiple stops throughout this, like, Union Square or Grand Central. It takes you to all three airports. It runs every thirty minutes minutes from 6AM to 11PM. You've got a reserved seat on a comfortable temperature controlled And I love that you can book up to three days in advance or even right before departure. If you're traveling in New York City, this is such a good hack to know.
