Starting to make plans for my NYC trip in September. I did think about spending 20,000 miles on a return limo transfer at JFK (which I think you can still do if you're booked in Z).
Want to save the miles though so does anyone know which limo company VS use at JFK [?] or can anyone recommend another limo company please [?]
Thanks and Regards

According to a recent trip report by csparker, it is Manhattan Limos

NN is right. I have their number if you want it (read the trip report to find out how I got it - I don't think it is VS policy to give the number out).
I suspect there are cheaper options - a yellow cab was USD35 plus toll and tip, though NY cab fares have just gone up. There are car companies that advertise in papers like Village Voice that will beat the yellow cab price, but I can't recommend one (this is the problem of always flying VS UC).
One piece of advice I would give is to book in advance - once when a VS limo went AWOL on myself and a colleague, a driver from my firms "car service" (a bunch of opportunists that hang out around the block from the building) charged us USD100 to JFK, and we had to pretend to be a friend of the driver because he wasn't licensed to drop off at Kennedy. The car was no better than a yellow taxi.
