Depending on what time you want to leave, you could also fly into Newark. Take the train into Grand Central right from Newark airport and then take the subway to wherever you need to.

Actually, the train will take you right into Penn Station from Newark, not Grand Central.

But from Penn Station you can walk a block east and pick up the B or D train (B weekdays only) right to Yankee Stadium.

They now have a monorail from the Newark terminal to the train station, so you can get from the terminal to the stadium by taking three trains.

That's what I would do.

Or instead of walking a block to pick up the D and having to deal with a few extra stops, just take the uptown 1 from Penn Station, get off at 59th Street/Columbus Circle and change over to the D there.

I also second flying into Newark.

You could also take the Cory Lidle Shuttle.

If you're going to do Newark, triple-check that the connection from Manhattan to there runs at the ungodly hour you're hoping to leave.

Fly into LaGuardia (which is closer and avoids the almost always troublesome Van Wyck), walk outside, grab a cab. It really isn't that difficult.

I don't know what the transportation is like from JFK, but there is no subway running to LGA. Taking a bus is unwieldy because you'll have to go to the Port Authority, which is at the lower tip of Manhattan. You'll probably have to hitch a cab to Shea, take the subway to Penn Station (which I believe takes over an hour) and go from there.

My guess is that you should avoid LGA.

Um, Port Authority is not in Lower Manhattan. It's in midtown.

There are shuttles for like $12 each way that go from LaGuardia into midtown - there's a stop near Grand Central and a stop near Port Authority. I'm having a brain freeze, but I think it's called New York Shuttle Service. Or there's the M60 bus for $2 into Manhattan and you can then take the subway anywhere. More info here: http://www.mta.info/nyct/service/airport.htm

LGA is the closest to Manhattan, so it's probably the most expensive one to fly into.

Yup, you're right. It is in midtown. It's still a royal pain in the ass when compared to hopping on the subway at JFK.
