Details
The leg clocks 12 road miles via BQE south from Astoria Blvd. Typical drive-time clusters between 25 and 55 minutes. BQE south to Williamsburg / DUMBO / Park Slope. BQE construction windows add 15-20 min.

Sixty minutes of included wait starts counting from genuine wheels-down into LGA, not scheduled arrival. Overrun past the hour bills in fifteen-minute increments at the booked vehicle class rate. The fare itself is locked at booking — tolls, fuel and airport-authority access fees are already baked into the quoted number.
