jfk commute
Didn't see anything when I searched so apologize if this has been covered. I am moving to the iad area and wonder if anyone on here commutes from there to jfk. My flight options seem to be 3 a day on Jet Blue or a miserable commute to dca and then lga and a car across town. Any experiences you could share would be appreciated, especially Jet Blue guys who may be doing this commute.

Can't help much but used to do the DC-LGA thing.
There are usually a bunch going to JFK on those lga flights. So people usually look for each other when they get to LGA.
Qcab from LGA-JFK is $18. It's just hard to get in and out of JFK in general.

There's also 3x/day Shuttle America E135 service as Delta Connection on IAD-JFK. If you do wind up having to schlep over to DCA, there are AA and DL flights right in to JFK.
Getting from IAD to DCA is a pain. The Metro Silver Line won't be finished until 2019 (so they say) and the option available is a bus that will take you to the Reston East Metro station for the Metro ride to DCA. Driving is often quite a very miserable experience.
At the other end, in a pinch, you can catch a van for $13 from LGA to JFK.
So, there are a few options. How viable they are, I will leave for others to say.
Hope this helps.

My guess is you'll be on reserve? Crashpad in Kew Gardens? If so, from LGA to Kew Gardens is $2.75 by bus (Q70) to train (E-train). (Free transfer from bus to train)
$13 to go direct on NYCAirporter from LGA-JFK or split a cab with someone.

It's almost always a 190 as an FYI.
2 jumpseats total, one flightdeck and one FA.

I tried this IAD JFK commute for a short while back when B6 had 5 a day on the 190s as well as a slew of DL RJs. Lots of guys doing this one! While I was always treated well by the blue crew (thanks again!) I gave up, just too much stress.
It was easier for me to commute transcon to SFO from IAD than to do the 45 minute JFK run. Looks easy, but it's a tough one, good luck!

Seems to me from LGA you can take the Q61 bus to Roosevelt Station, subway to Jamica Station, A train to JFK... Total about 8 bucks if you buy the multiple passs (my info is 3 yrs old so please verify the bus #)
