The operator had recommended being at the airport 3 hours before an international flight, buy having boarding cards already and only needing to do a bag drop, we said we would be happy to arrive 2 hours before flight. Terminal 7 is normally not at bursting point at 7pm. Our driver Lenny was courteous, making sure he had everyone on board and even searching for one passenger who was not at the allotted location. We weaved through downtown New York as workers headed home.
Once we cleared the city he took a faster route through Queens than I was used to, but it got us to our destination 10 minutes ahead of schedule. That is all you can ask for! Thanks folks, will use you again.
