For Bergen County residents, John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is the most complex airport run in the metro area. It's farther than Newark (EWR), has more terminals, and requires navigating either the Van Wyck Expressway or the Belt Parkway — both notoriously congested. Despite this, JFK is often the preferred airport for international travel and certain domestic routes. Here's what you need to know about getting there from North Jersey.
How Long Does It Take from Bergen County to JFK?
Under normal conditions, the drive from Bergen County — Fort Lee, Hackensack, Paramus, Teaneck — to JFK runs approximately 45–75 minutes via the George Washington Bridge and either the Van Wyck or the Belt Parkway. During rush hours or weekends with heavy traffic, budget 90 minutes or more. We always recommend departing with extra buffer for international flights.
Which Route Do We Take?
Our chauffeurs monitor traffic in real time and choose the optimal route for your departure time. Typically that means crossing the GWB and taking the most favorable approach to Queens, adjusting dynamically based on what traffic looks like that morning. This local knowledge is something a GPS app can't replicate.
JFK Terminal Navigation
JFK has eight active terminals served by the AirTrain. Your EHT Limo driver will confirm your terminal at booking and drop you at the correct departure level — no circling, no confusion. For arrivals, we track your flight and meet you curbside after baggage claim.
