Can someone please help. I want to get to the Hilton Garden Inn 63 West 35th Street from JFK airport. How do I do this? Can I get a an Air train and subway. What am I looking for and How do I get there.
Cheers
You can get to your hotel via airtrain and subway--you'll get off the subway at 32nd st. and walk a quick couple of blocks. A great tool is www.hopstop.com, will show you exactly what to do/what trains to take.
You might also want to consider a Super Shuttle van. It's about $15 one way, it's door-to-door, and if you're lugging any luggage, it's much easier. (If the subways are crowded, it will be hard for you to shove your luggage on--subways are not equipped to handle luggage.)
Cheers and enjoy!
I did this last weekend - really easy.
Take the air train that goes to Federal Circle station (the one I took was described as a "Howard Beach" train) At Federal Circle go down stairs and out the doors. Turn right and follow walkway under tent/awning to where the Hotel Shuttle buses pick up. The Sheraton bus also goes to Hilton Garden (check with driver to be sure) as the hotels are next door to each other.
I have been doing this for several weeks..very easy: Take the JFK Airtrain to Jamaica Station (the station after Federal Circle). Airtrain $5 charge. After going thru the exit go straight to the Long Island Railway door (LIRR) and there is a monitor in front of you. Find next train to Penn Station (every 10 min or so) - it will probably leave from Track 2. $5.75 off peak (4pm till about 8pm) or $8 peak - buy ticket from the machine or pay more on the train. Go all the way to Penn Station. Find the 34th Street/7th Ave exit and go up the escalator and turn right - you will be heading east on 34th...walk 1 long block to Broadway then turn left and go 1 block to 35th. Turn right and you will see your hotel.
is this possible to get from JFK airport terminal 8 to the Park Avenue, Manhattan at Satuday afternoon by using common transport?
Heavy snow is expected in New York on Sat 6 Feb 2010. How soon can I know whether flights will be cancelled or delayed please? I'm taking the 12 N from London tomorrow.
Thanks.
Hi, I am arriving in JFK on Monday at 16:30.
1.How long it will take to clear the security measures.
2.What is the best and safest way to get to the Sheepshead bay(ave. Z) from the airport?
Thanks for your advice. M A
Clearing customs can take a while, especially if many flights arrive at the same time. It could take two hours or more. If you don't have alot of luggage the easiest route to Sheepshead Bay is to take AirTrain to Jamaica Station-LIRR, LIRR to Flatbush Ave.-Brooklyn and then the Q or B subway to Sheepshead Bay. Otherwise take a taxi.
How much it cost between JFK to
Courtyard Secaucus Meadowlands
455 Harmon Meadow Boulevard
Secaucus, New Jersey 07094 USA
By Shuttle or taxi?
Thanks
Hello,
My Parents are arriving today from India at Terminal 8 at 1.30 PM. They have their connecting flight to MSP at 7.30 PM in Terminal 4(B20). I have asked them to use the loop Train.
1.Is the loop train stop within the Airport building or will they have to walk outside to reach to the stops.
2.Learnt that Terminal 4 has the stop within the building,is that right?
Thank you for your help.
Air train connects all terminals within airport, without having to exit airport; runs every 3-5 mins bi-directionally, all terminal stops within building.
i need some info. about terminals.Actually i have a flight on Saturday at JFK but before that my arrival will at terminal 7 and my next flight will be at terminal 4. My problem is i don't know the code of the train. please if somebody know share it to me.thanks

Hello I lost a blue Mountain Hardware Coat, size medium, coming in from Helsinki Finland on December 21st. I called lost and found but never heard back. The coat could have been taken at the security checkpoint transferring to American Airlines. I arrived at terminal 8, showed my passport, went upstairs and checked in for an American Airlines flight to San Francisco.
Will give a reward if found. Thank you,
Steve
Hi i have a question! I need to know in which areas of the jfk airport there is internet access by wifi(wireless) in the area of check there is internet??? or in the baggage claim?? in which areas??
Hi, looking for advice.
At what time should I be at JFK to catch a 5:30 pm flight on Friday to Washington (IAD)?
No bags to check, will have checked-in online. How long is the security line at that time these days?
Thanks
I am flying out of LGA but flying back into JFK. Can someone point to me the cheapest yet the most efficient way to do this?
Hi, I am arriving in NY on Wednesday at 16:00. What is the best and safest way to get to the Greenwich village from the airport? Thanks for your advice. Kristina
There is a bus. But by the time you get to midtown(dropoff point)and change to a cab. You might aswell pay for a cab. There is a flat fee into city. So you won't get ripped off -- only take yellow cab from rank clearly marked outside. Safe as can be. Nyc is very safe these days. Take subway everywhere till at least midnight. After that, like most cities it could , but rarely is dangwerous. Enjoy
just in case you haven't rec'd a response, I advise taking the cab right outside JFK. No matter what terminal you come into, just ask security where the cabs are. JFK has one of the best set ups for cab service. The wait on the line is about 10-15 min until you get to the front of the line, but atleast it is organized and the cabbies are registered with NYC. A cab to anywhere in the city from JFK is about $35 dollars flat rate. I take this service to Manhattan quite often without any problems. Make sure you have the address in the village to give to the cab driver.
good luck :)
I like to use this shuttle: http://www.goairlinkshuttle.com/
They have the best prices-less than half what a cab costs though it takes a bit longer because they will be carrying other travelers too.
which airports can I fly to direct from JFk to Beach's in North and South Carolina??
emailing from England
Thank you
marion
Try flying to Norfolk, VA and driving south along the Outer Banks or fly to Wilmington, NC
for the carolinas....you should get good deals from jfk itself. i do know that there are good deals from jfk.
LAdams, OKC:
Any advice on the exact best way to get cheaply from JFK airport to Cape Liberty Cruise Terminal in Bayonne, NY, would be much appreciated.
Getting to the cruise terminal from jfk is possible using the airtrain to jamaica and then taking another trainf rom there to penn... from penn you would need to take the nj transit....followed by the nj-hudson bergen light rail...followed by the bayonne cab company to take you rite to the cruise... the travel would be the cheapest but pretty difficult if you have big bags to carry with urself. i would recommend a fixed fare cab that would charde like 65 bucks for getting you rite to your cruise.
HI,
Please advise if there is any public transportation (train, subway, bus) my family and I could use to get to our hotel near Times Square from JFK. We will be arriving at JFK early in the evening on Feb 1.
Thank you.
Getting to Midtown is easy. Once at the airport- take the Air Train to the Jamaica Station of the Long Island Rail Road- there are pletny of signs in the airport and peropl in red jackets and vests who can direct you. The air train is $5.00 per person and the ticket for the railroad is also seperate but check with customer service in the airtrain terminal, they may run package tickets. Take any train going to Penn Station- Once you are in Penn Station- take the 2 or the 3 (red line) subway one stop - uptown to 42nd street and you are in the middle- literally of Time Square. Should take you nore more than 35- 45 mins tops.
Taxi fares into Manhattan are regulated. Would cost a family of four about $50. Train may be difficult if you're not familiar with it. Buses run every 20 or 30 minutes, but would be separate fares for each and would cost as much as a cab fare. Consider a cab. Safe, fast, and the fare is set by law. Add 20% tip.
Hi I am arriving to JFK from cairo at 1515 in terminal 4, then i will have to make a domestic connection at 1925 through deta airline from Terminal 3

Hi to all,
how many time from landing to Hotel in Manhattan including
luggage pick up, security and taxi ?
I'll arrived at 7:40PM on 12th april.
I am arriving from germany on friday and have a connecting flight to Vegas. Arriving with Delta and departing with American airlines. Time between flights is 1h 50m. Should I have enough time to get tru homeland and customs and get to the gate in time?
Thanks
it definitely depends on the time that you land. if you are landing at JFK during early mornin hours, i am certain that it would not matter. you should be able to get through customs in 1 hr and then make your connecting flight. however, if you do not, i would say RUN for your flight...
Fridays are pretty busy days, so if you're arriving flight coincides with a few other international ones, (i.e. after 3 PM when most European flights start coming in) you will be cutting it pretty short - the lines at immigration are notoriously long, but you also have to pick up your luggage,clear the customs and then drop it off for your connecting flight (fortunately, you don't have to take your luggage to check-in counters or anything, the drop off area is right past the customs check). I've done this whole ordeal a few times in less than two hours, but it will feel a bit crazy.
I'll be flying into JFK from Halifax Int'l airport in June. My connecting flight will be less than hour. I was reading on Halifax website, that I can go through customs there and not have to hassle with it at JFK and would be landing as a domestic flyer. So is it possible to land at 7:35am and make a connecting flight at 8:20am?
csb

Was quoted a price for a cruise with Aifare from JFK to London. The Agency now added $200 and says its for a departure tax from New York. Is there such a thing?
how do i get from jfk to Doubletree Metropolitan Hotel
569 Lexington Avenue?
Thanks
take the Air train to the Jamaica Station, that'll cost $5. From there take any LIRR train going into penn station. Once in Penn Station take the E to E.51 and lexington and you'll be within a few blocks

I have a flight from JFG to Geneva, Switzerland. Can you please tell me how much time in advance of the flight I need to check in? thanks you
There have been planes on the the Tarmac for over an hour due to a security breach, but the JFK website still reports delays of less than 15 minutes. We don't trust our security professionals because we are regularly lied to regarding things that are onject fact. Dear TSA, this is a lesson in Consumer Relations.
Flight I am sitting on is not leaving & was supposed to leave @ 2:50pm so now a 2 hour delay!
Hi. I will be travelling to Europe on the 31 of may, need to leave my car at the airport for 60 days. Does anyone know how much it is going to cost me, and where to do it. Any info will help. Thank you in advance

I have a good friend coming via Aeroflot from Moscow this Sat at 5pm. Should she have enough time to make an outgoing 10:30 PM domestic flight? Is the customs/immigration routine as follows?
1) collect bags
2) Clear customs/immigration
3) is there another security screening here and check in and check baggage for the domestic flight ? (this is the second question)
4) go to the required domestic terminal
We appreciate any advice! Thank you!!

Hi,
My aunt is an old,handicapped lady, using a walker to move around.
She's coming on a flight from Florida and needs help in moving the luggage, pass customs and get to the flight in another terminal.
What service exists in JFK for people like her?
