Hey!
I am arriving to terminal 8 and have 2h and 40 minutes until my plane leaves from terminal 4. I need to pick up my luggage before heading to the airtrain. Can someone tell me which way to go and will this be long?
After you get your luggage take the AirTrain inside (counter-clockwise) loop from Terminal 8 to Terminal 4. The outside (clockwise) loop goes to parking and train/subway stations and the inside loop is only between terminals.
This is my frist time in NYC, my hotel is at 37th not so far from Grand Central and Penn Station. Any suggestions to get there in a easy way? I'm landing at Terminal 3 but I'm going to meet with some friends that arrive at Terminal 8 2hrs later than me. Thnx!!!
you can also take the bus for Grand Central (express bus for manhattan) outside your terminal. You arrive on 42nd st and park av. Not so far from your destination. Will cost you $15/per person but insure you to be seated and no train change...Here their website : http://www.nyairportservice.com/page.php?id=78
Enjoy the Big Apple !!!
take the AirTrain between terminals (free), then take it to Jamaica Station-LIRR and LIRR to Penn Station. Easy and relatively cheap ($5 on AirTrain, $5.75 off-peak LIRR).
I am landing 7:45am on a tuesday morning and need to go to 8th ave. Any suggestions?
Take the AirTrain to Jamaica station and then the LIRR to Penn Station and exit on 8th Ave. If you're further up or down 8th Ave. from the station take the A or C Subway.
I am arriving JFK at 17.05 pm. Which transportation type do you advice me? and how can I find them? It's my first coming.
Take the AirTrain from your terminal to the Howard Beach subway station. Take the Manhattan-bound A subway to Utica Ave.
ort. my stop is utica ave. is the train station by the airport how close? how much money? do i need tickets?
Looking for best way to get from JFK to Riverside Church in the vacinity of Columbia Seminary. Thanks
if time is not an issue, take the air train to Jamaica and transfeer to the E subway line; take it into Manhattan and change at 7th Ave to the uptown A to 125th St; upstairs, on 125t St, transfer to the westbound M60 bus to W. 120th & Broadway. It'll take about 90 minutes, but will cost you $7.75.
How can I get from E42nd Street to JFK for a 7:10 PM international flight on a Tuesday, assuming I can't leave until 4:30. Is it possible?
I am arriving JFK at 11.30 am. I have outbound flight at 9.00pm. Can you advise how long it will take to go to Manhattan and come back? or is there any mini tour to show places of interest around?

Terminal 2 & 3 are the same AirTrain stop. Walk from 3 to 2; they're connected.

Hi,
Can someone please tell me if it would be better to take a cab or the airtrain to JFK, from upper Manhattan, at around 4:30 pm on a weekday. Thanks!
If you're lugging around some heavy bags, I'd taxi it. Otherwise, the Airtrain is easy with just a change at the Jamaica station.
I have a 5 am flight out of Terminal 4 on 1/23. I intend to leave the car in longterm parking. How do I get to Terminal 4 at say 2 a.m.?
Take AirTrain to Jamaica Station and LIRR to Flatbush Ave. Brooklyn. The station is at Flatbush/Atlantic/4th Aves. If you're destination is further down 4th Ave. connect to the R subway which runs down 4th Ave. to Bay Ridge.
Hi everyone.
Could anybody advice
- How long does it take to get from the Terminal 8 to the Terminal 1 and what is the fastest way?
- What is the fastest way to get from the JFK to La Guardia airport?
I recall that there is airport bus service to JFK just across the street from the Grand Central entrance.
Does anyone know what is the best way to get from grand central on 42th street to the JFK airport?
i want to take airtrain to meet my brothet coming to jfk airport at terminal 4 and i wonder if we can use the airtrain back to newyork
can somebody please helpme.i would like to know how to get from canal street(china town) to jfk airport??
thanks a lot
ha ha...about to do this myself, but from brooklyn.
depending where on canal street you are....take the A, C or E subway (6th Av) UPTOWN or the 1 (7th Av) to 34 St. and take and LIRR train there to Jamaica. At Jamaica you can connect to the Air Train to JFK. Alternatively, you can tke the A train Downtown into Brooklyn/Queens to Howard Beach OR the E train UPTOWN to Sutphin Ave I believe (check this). You can connect at Howard Beach or Sutphin also to the AirTrain. Going with the LRR is quicker but is a few dollars more expensive and requires more connections but you will hang outside less. The other way is slower but cheaper.
can someone tell me where i can get the transit schedule for Jamaica hub to JFK terminals or note estimated times it runs? i.e. every 15 min, 30 min? does the schedule vary by day/night? thanks!
Sue if you need to go from Jamaica to JFK you do not need a schedule. The AirTran runs under every 5 minutes from Jamaica to all terminals at JFK.
What is the best way to get from JFK to Hotel Pennsylvania for two people traveling lightly? Can we catch the subway to Penn Station near JFK?
Yes, look for and take AirTrain to the subway, JFK Airport stop of the A Train. Take the A Train towards Manhattan, get off at 34th St./Penn Station stop.
this site is a mess. there is no indication on how to get from one terminal to the other and how to get to downtown Manhattan the most efficent way.
Use the NYC MTA website for travel connections from JFK to Manhattan. Briefly, take Airtrain to the Jamacia station, then the E subway or the LIRR. The Airtrain ride is $5 and the subway is $2.25. LIRR is a few bucks more.

Please could you tell me how long it should take to get from Term. 7 to Jamaica on the Air Tran. Thanks
What is the fastest/easiest way to get from Terminal 3 into Terminal 4 and how do I do that?
How do you actually pay for the airtrain travelling from jamaica to jfk? before or after you get on? where?
You pay for it before you get on the train. You can use your MTA card.
Hi. I'll be using the airtrain to move from terminal 6 to terminal 2 with my bagges, can I take the cart which I will be using to move my bagges on the airtrain?
