Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Transportation

Why this week is different

A route that bisects Manhattan on one of the busiest travel days of the American year.

Venue. Central Park West to Herald Square.

Booking advice. The route splits the west side from the east for the morning. Airport departures that day leave earlier than anyone expects.

What we provide during Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

• Airport meets on the peak arrival and departure days, with a greeter desk for larger programmes
• Executive sedans and SUVs for individual and small-group movement
• Sprinters that keep a delegation together between the venue, the hotel and the customer dinner
• Published-interval shuttle loops between hotel blocks and the venue, reinforced at the two peaks
• Hospitality staging for suites, offsites and after-parties with a curfew that is actually held
• Setup and teardown runs outside normal service hours for exhibitor crews
• Consolidated billing per programme, per exhibitor or per department

Getting around New York that week

New York is the hardest ground transportation market in the country and the one where a professional chauffeur earns the fare most obviously. Three commercial airports on three different sides of the city, four tunnel and bridge crossings that each fail at a different hour, midtown streets closed at no notice for a motorcade or a film unit, and a set of pickup rules at JFK and LaGuardia that change with the construction phase.

Local note. UN General Assembly week in September closes large parts of the East Side at no notice. If you have meetings above 42nd Street that week, book as-directed hours rather than point-to-point transfers.

If the city is sold out, the nearest alternatives are within driving range: Philadelphia (about 2 hours), Washington, DC (about 4 hours), Boston (about 4 hours). We run those legs as fixed-fare city-to-city transfers.
