The Taxi & Limousine Commission is conducting a Flat Fare program for trips between (to and from) the Manhattan and JFK International Airport.
The flat fare is $45.00 plus any tolls. The meter will not be turned on and the night surcharge will not be added.
If passengers request multiple stops, the flat rate of $45.00 will be collected at the first stop in either Manhattan or John F. Kennedy Airport, and the meter will be turned on for the remainder of the trip. The metered fare should be collected at the last stop, from the last passenger.

How do I get a cab at JFK at Jet Blue area and once I do how much to Yankee Stadium?
There is a taxi stand on the first floor, to your left as you exit the building. The yellow cab will charge you on the meter.
The taxi cost is flat fare of $45+toll($5.50) + tip.
There is no specific number for airport taxis - just find the taxi stand which is in front of each terminal and a taxi dispatcher will assist you getting yellow cab.
I will be going to La Guardia Airport from JFK Airport on october 19th ( around 9am), I would like to know the usualy cost of the ride and how much should i pay for the tip for the taxi. (i don´t live in the states). Thank you.
The fare would be on the meter and it is usually between $30-$35 from JFK to LGA. The tip in this case is between 10% and 20%(which comes around $3-$7).
If it is Kimberly Hotel at 145 East 50th Street, then the yellow cab will take her on flat fare($50). No need to pre-book a taxi.
I'm arriving at JFK airport on 03/9/2010 at 5.30 am. I require the prices of a cab for 2 people from JFK Airport to 13 Waverly St, Jersey City, NJ 07306. Each will have 1 hand luggage item.

If my friend gets a Taxi to JFK to spend time with me during my stopover will I be able to go out and pay the taxi for them? Will the taxi accept my credit card? Can they book one of the JFK cabs so they know they take credit cards?
