Take Newark Airport AirTrain
Take Newark Airport AirTrain from terminal to train station. Take NJ Transit or Amtrak (more expensive than NJT) train to Penn Station. At Penn Station transfer to LIRR to Jamaica. Walk upstairs to JFK AirTrain to all terminals.
JFK to Manhattan
My wife and I will be arriving at JFK at around 3pm on April 27th(Wednesday) for a vacation. We will have 2 carry-ons and a large suitcase. Would you recommend taking the AirTrain and subway to W 48th St and 8th ave to save money or should we just take a cab? At that time of day would it be bad to take that luggage on the subway?
For two of you with luggage
For two of you with luggage spend the money and take a cab, $45+tolls+tip. It will take you direct to your destination and no need to schlep your luggage on AirTrain or subway.

And how long will it take?
Take NJ Transit or Amtrak
Take NJ Transit or Amtrak train to Penn Station, transfer to LIRR train to Jamaica, walk upstairs to AirTrain and take to terminals. Amtrak is faster, less stops, but more expensive than NJ Transit ($50 for Amtrak/$10 for NJT). Allow about two hours for travel time.

Traveling early in the morning
I am planning to take the "E" train from manhattan (23rd st) to JFK - I have an international flight that leaves at 6AM - so I'm thinking of heading to the subway at around 3AM. Is that enough time? Does the airtrain run all night from Jamaica station?
Is there any other nighttime restriction I should know about for the airtrain or subway?
Transit
I am arriving in Terminal 8 with AA from Miami at 11pm and will be leaving at 11:50pm with Qatar Airways to Doha from Terminal 8, is it possible to get there in time?
Probably not.
Probably not.
International baggage
My parents are arriving at JFK via Qatar airways QR83 at 1500 in Terminal 4.
They will be taking a United flight UA19 from Terminal 7 to SFO at 1905.
Is 4 hours sufficient to clear immigration and customs?
After clearing customs, is there a United counter in
Terminal 4 (international) to check-in their bags?
Or, do they need to take bags to Terminal 7 and check in
there?
Thanks for the help
