as i want to book a limo.
and they will need a time.

thanks melon [y]

Your seat number might have a big influence on this, but I'd allow between 30-45 mins (Upper) to 1.5-2 hours (Economy, at very worst) to be safe.

IIRC, the immigration hall is not too busy before VS003 arrives, so preiffer's 2 hours may be on the generous side.

VS planes usually end up a long way down the pier, so if you're fit enough, there is plenty of opportunity for overtaking anyone who is walking slowly.

Baggage can also be a lottery, particularly if you have got through immigration quickly by virtue of being in J, and priority loading has not worked properly.

thanks for your help.

i hope its not to cold in march.
it will be my first time in ny so any hints/tips would be good
thanks melon

Welcome aboard V-Flyer.

NYC will be windy and cool in March. By using the search feature on the Forum you'll find a number of threads where your fellow posters are discussing the great City of New York.

Hope you have a splendid time.
