On the New York subway


Took the fast train to Jamaica Station and on to 42nd street for the Intercontineal in Times Square.

.

New York from London City airport.

Very small plane on Flight BA1 from London City to New York JFK.

The advantage is that we landed for 45 minutes in Shannon (to refuel) where we cleared USA Customs and Immigration in 45 minutes, arriving as domestic customers in Terminal 7 at JFK. A nice Aerobus 318 with only 38 Business seats - entertainment was an IPad!
