What train or subway do I take to go to W 59th street (Columbus Circle) next to Central Park from JFK airport?
Hi,
I am arriving during the day into JFK and need to get on Subway 2 or 3 and get off at 96th Street as my hotel is close to there. However my return to JFK will be at 9pm at night...so is this trip possible on public transport(from 96th Street to JFK)
Any help would be apprecaited..
Perhaps I should just book a shuttle service...what do you think?
First also the A subway can take you over 96th st. For the return use the A subway to howard beach. the true is that is much more cheap doing this way instead of shuttle
You can take the 4-5 and then transfer into the A to go to Howard Beach. In all stations you are able to see a big map with the deatil of transfer between routes

Hi! I am wondering if someone could tell me
1.How to get to Port Authority Bus station from JFK. My hotel is very close to there but the thing is my flight arrives at JFK at late night around 11pm. So:
2.Is it safe to travel around with two big luggages or I'd better stay at the airport overnight and wait till the morning.
3.Does the Airtrain run all the time 24hrs?
Thanks alot!!!
1.- Subway A will take you to the 42th st port authority bus station. The advantaje is that you take the A from the Airtrain howard beach station
2.- Yes, as a visitor I can say it
3.- yes

Hi.
I'm arriving in JFK with Swiss air august 6, about 2.45 pm, and need to get to West 97th street. What is the best way to get there? Bus or train?? And how long does it take?
Thanks.
If it can help you, some days ago I went from 47th street to JFK by subway (A line) and connecting with the airtrain service at Howard Beach station. It took me about 90 minutes and two line transfers to get there with the luggage up and downstairs. In NY subway (subway in Calcutta must be more developped than that in NY)escalators or lifts are non existing. I arrived to JFK exhausted before taking a 7 hour flight but the best was the price, only 7 dollars (5 airtrain plus 2 subway)compared to the 45 dollar flat taxi fare.
About the bus, I have no idea but expect it to be more expensive and to stand heavy traffic jams in the way through Brooklyn and Queens.
If you travel with more people to share the cost, think about the taxi option, a few more dollars will be worth it.
there is some bus between de JFK airport and the la guardia airport??
thak you
I'll need to get to JFK from Huntington Station in LI. I remember passing the LIRR. If I take the LIRR, what stop to get off and how do I access the airtrain?
We will be flying into JFK and need to get to Penn Station to catch amtrak to DC. We are wondering the best way to do so and what the cost would be.
Take the airtrain into howard beach. Over there you will take the A train that stops on 34th st = Penn St. Total cost $7usd. ($5 airtrain + $2 subway) Consider (60-90 minutes)
Hello,
I'll be arriving at JFK monday 30 June and have to go to West 31st Street. Should I take the Air train to Jamaica Staion and take the E train or is it faster to go to Howard Beach and take the A train
Cheers,
Riemer
i am flying into jfk from ohare on june 26 landing in terminal 3 and need to get to terminal 4 for a international flight to israel. should i take the tram or walk. i am also on a time crunch
If you are not flying, grab a cab, take the train (Amtrak) to Pen Station. E train to Jamaica station then Airtram to JFK. This could take a few hours.
I need to pick up my brother who is coming into JFK from PR. I am in Bucks County, PA and can pick him up from either Trenton or Philly. What is the best way that he can get here??? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Tomorrow 2 days later i'll be in NY.(JFK airport)My question is what is the quickest and cheapest way to go Manhattan is it airtrain or bus?If i get there by a taxi what will i pay?
Please tell me,
The best way from JFK to Stony Brook (Long Island)....?
We, 7 people,will arrive at 9:15pm at JFK.
Thanks
Your best bet would be to take the air train to Jamaica and then catch a train to Stony Brook. The train arrives at the back of Stony Brook University and is within walking distance of the town. There are also cabs there.
