I’m not sure I understand the above. Generally taxi and uber are similar pricing and more expensive, cheaper route is the Kew Cab/Voyager at the rates below. Even cheaper yet is the bus/train option at $2.75. As said above NEPP if you don’t have any other company paid parking for EWR/LGA rotations.
Transportation costs are part of the NYC experience. Try and find the silver lining, junior base, faster seniority gain (typically) and increased GS opportunities.
- JFK-KEW $12
- LGA-KEW $15
- JFK-LGA $18

Back in the day, how I used to get from LGA-EWR.
Walk from crash pad to USAir shuttle terminal
JS LGA-BOS
Walk to Continental terminal
JS BOS-EWR.
Total time in transit, 4hrs
Cost: free
Usually a seat in First so well rested too.
Disclaimer - you need about 8hrs notice and reasonable weather to pull it off (no ground stops.)
Note, this was back when there were hourly flights in both directions. Not sure if that still exists today

Lots of good info. A few follow-up questions. Hopefully I didn't miss it here.
Primarily asking in regards to JFK since I imagine most trips fly out of there:
1. For those living in the area, where do you live? Northern NJ/Southern NY? Connecticut? Which towns, specifically?
2. I tried researching, but is there a public transportation option via train from these northern areas? All I'm seeing here is essentially subway access from downtown NYC to JFK, but you'd have to drive/Uber to those stations first.
Thanks!
