AIRPORT PICK-UP
If you have booked an airport transfer, you will be met at one of
the three major local airports (JFK, LaGuardia, or Newark) by our
airport pick-up services. After you collect your baggage from
Baggage Claim and/or pass through Customs, go to the
Welcome Center Cellphone Charging Station. This is the last
area BEFORE the exit of the airport building where passengers
meet the people who come to pick them up. Your driver will be
waiting for you INSIDE the arrival waiting gallery. Look for
someone holding up a sign with your name on it and the EC
Logo.
If you are arriving at JFK airport, please make sure to look out
for the EC driver as you exit customs/immigration and then
once you receive your luggage. You should keep your eyes open
and look out for an EC New York sign with your name displayed
on it.
If your first flight into the U.S. is delayed or your flight number is
changed, you must call or text: +1 (0) 718 506 8424. If you arrive
at the airport and cannot find your driver, you should also call
+1 (0) 718 506 8424.
If your flight is delayed or cancelled, you must call to reschedule
at least two hours before your originally scheduled pick-up
time. Otherwise, you will have to pay for a second transfer or
take a taxi.
You should not get into a car with anyone who does not have
this EC sign.
If there is an emergency, call ECNY’s emergency line +1 (0) 347567-3543.
