You can take Air-Tran to Jamaica Queens, catch the E train downtown to 7th avenue Manhattan, and take the Uptown D train 1 stop to 59th Street Columbus Circle.
Good luck, enjoy your stay!!

I'm coming into JFK On Saturday morning via Terminal 1 domestic, My girlfriend will be arriving in Terminal 8, I wanted to know if there's any possible way I could meet her at her gate or if I would be leaving the security area and unable to re-enter.

I need to get from JFK to Albany. What is the fastest way to do that? Thanks!

Once I park my car at the Long Term Parking Facility, how do I get to the AirTrain? Is there a station right at the parking lot or do I need to take a bus shuttle to the AirTrain? I ultimately need to get to terminal 8 (American Airlines). Many thanks for any feedback.

Could someone can tell me how to get to the Michelangelo hotel in 152 West 51st Street, next to the Radio City Music Hall. What is the best way, shuttle, airtrain and metro. Arriving 1st april. Thank you in advanced 4 your answer.

how far is it from Terminal 4 to terminal 8. We will be arriving late at night on Aer Lingus and need to transfer to American, which will be departing at Terminal 8. Is there some form of transportating seniors to the air train and then from the air train to the next American gate.

Also, will we have to go to the ticket counter to check in when we change to American after arriving on Aer Lingus? I realize we will have to go through customs, but do we have to handle our luggage for the next airline.

Please help. I am travelling drom South Africa. I am arriving on 30 March at terminal 8 at 7:45 and have a separate flight to Miami on American Airlines at 11:15, departing from terminal 4. Will this be enough time for me to make the Miami flight?

how many luggage bags can I take if it's international and how many pounds each... how much will it cost if i have an extra bag thats 50 pounds?
