Hi, I am coming from Boston by Chinatown bus (will arrive at Chinatown in New York). I need to go to the JFK International Airport. How can I go from NY Chinatown to the JFK International Airport? Where can I take the AirTrain? Which subway line should I take from the NY Chinatown station?
Many Thanks!

Dear Sirs, please advise which station I should get off if I want to go to Sheraton Manhattan At Times Square at 790 7th avenue 51st Street, New York 10019 and the fares. Thanks. Irene

Howdy!

I would truly appreciate any advise on how to get to McKibben Street in Brooklyn wednesday evening/night!!!
I'm flying in to JFK and I'm considering getting a cab ... does anyone have any idea of the cost for getting a cab to McKibben Street? I've heard approximately $ 35-40 ... does that sound lika a fair deal? Also, I'm considering shuttles or the airtrain as well ... how does that work and how much would it cost?

Once again ... thanks a lot for your advise!!!

Cheers / Henrik

Catch the Air Train to Port Auhtority and then take the Long Island Railroad at Jamaica Station to Penn Station...takes about 25 minutes, excluding waiting time for railroad.

We will be arriving into JFK and would like to check out Rockefeller Plaza, Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty. Is this all possible in one day? Would it be best to buy an all day transit pass? Do you know if that includes both bus and subway service? Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!

Hi,

I'm coming from Europe,to JFK airport in June. I need to go to New Jersey ( Point Pleasant ). I absolutely don´t know how to get there, maybe someone do...
thanx

Take a taxi to Penn Station in Manhattan. (You could also take the Air Train to the subway to Penn Station, but it's easy to get lost and you'll have to schlep all your luggage around too). Once at Penn Station, take the North Jersey Coast Line (railroad) directly to Point Pleasant. It's about a 2 hour ride.

Have fun! Point Pleasant is a great place--beautiful beach and boardwalk.

thank u very much!

Hi can anyone telle me what the best to do, as i understand its only to Manhattan that there are a fixed rate $45(60) we are going just across the Hudson river at the Sheraton Suites in Weehawken, are there a huge price difference or what can you recomend??

I need to get from the airport to 69th Street (corner of Park Ave). The closest city subway stop is 68th Street, Hunter College. Could anyone give me directions on how to take the train from the airport to find the correct subway to get to 68th Street/Hunter College?
Thanks.

Take the A train from Howawrd Beach (the airport) to Fulton Street (1st stop in Manhattan) Tranfer to the 4 train which is express to 59th St. Tranfer at 59th St to the 6 train one stop to east 68th St

We are staying near Rockefeller Center and flying into JFK. Should we take a taxi to the hotel? Our flight gets in at 1 p.m. Suggestions?
