Commercial airport arrivals
JFK, LGA, and EWR pickups need terminal, airline, scheduled landing, passenger count, baggage, and handoff style. The tool adds more time for international arrivals, meet-and-greet, checked bags, and group coordination.
NYC AIRPORT TOOL
Airport pickup time, planned before the curb.
Estimate a pickup window for JFK, LGA, EWR, Teterboro, or Westchester arrivals using airport, terminal or FBO, scheduled landing or passenger-ready time, handoff style, baggage, and group complexity.
§ 01— PICKUP WINDOW PLANNER
Suggested window
3:10 PMto 3:35 PM
JFK Terminal 4 should be planned around 3:10 PM-3:35 PM. This is 40-65 minutes after scheduled landing.
Domestic commercial arrival baseline: 30-50 minutes after scheduled landing or passenger-ready time.
Curbside or garage handoff adjustment: no added buffer.
Checked baggage adjustment: +10-15 minutes.
Limits
- This is a planning window, not live flight tracking and not a binding pickup time.
- The final quote confirms wait policy, vehicle class, toll and surcharge treatment, and contact path.
- JFK Terminal 4 can route car-service pickups differently by time of day; confirm the active handoff instruction before landing.

§ 02— HOW TO USE THE RESULT
Treat the window as a planning band, not dispatch certainty.
FBO arrivals
TEB and HPN trips should use passenger-ready time, not only wheels-down. Add exact FBO, tail number, baggage, and whether the handoff is lobby, canopy, curb, or ramp-adjacent where permitted.
What the tool does not do
This planner does not pull live flight status, customs queue data, road traffic, or operator availability. The quote confirmation still controls wait policy, assigned vehicle class, and pickup instructions.
Next step
Use the tool output as planning context, then send the itinerary to the concierge team. The quote confirms availability, vehicle class, operator terms, pass-through costs, and the exact plan in writing before confirmation.
