Travelers heading in and out of New York City looking to save some money are getting a summer surprise. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is cutting AirTrain fares to John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) by 50% as it tries to reduce traffic congestion during the summer travel season.<\/p>\n

It’s not a permanent price cut, but fares will drop from $8.50 to $4.25 starting June 30 through Labor Day. While some travelers view the AirTrain as an inconvenient way to get to JFK<\/a>, this reduction might make people rethink their plans, especially when considering how bad traffic could be this summer.<\/p>\n

JFK is around 15 miles from Midtown Manhattan, and traffic to and from the airport is always busy. This summer, however, brings a perfect storm of events that threaten to create major traffic problems. The airport is currently in the midst of a $19 billion renovation<\/a>, the largest airport redevelopment project in the U.S. At the same time, the Port Authority expects a record-breaking travel summer, with more than 18.3 million passengers expected to pass through it during that time.<\/p>\n
