I will need a wheelchair to
I will need a wheelchair to transfer from terminal 3 to terminal 4. How do I arrange for that?
I'm traveling by delta connecton to JFK, arriving at 9:30 PM, Monday April 4 and connecting to Avianca at 12:55AM April 5
Your advice is appreciated
You will need to arrange
You will need to arrange this with Delta so they have a wheelchair waiting for your on arrival at T3.
Which track do I take to get from Terminal 4 to 5
What level for the airtrain and which track do I take to get from Terminal 4 to 5? Is there somewhere to eat when you go through gate for Jetblue flight?
Thanks for the info
Go to the third floor of T4
Go to the third floor of T4 to AirTrain and take train on track 1 one stop to T5. There's food available post-security.
Location of the Air train stations
Hi. I need to know whether the stations for the "Airline Terminal route" are inside the secured area or in the public area. Thanks
They are in the public area.
They are in the public area. They are the same stations used by Howard Beach and Jamaic trains.
How to get from Terminal 4 to Terminal 5?
Arriving with Aerlingus into Terminal 4 at 13.15. Flight Departing with Jetblue from Terminal 5 at 16.05. How do I get from 4 to 5? How long will it take. If its by train is it free between terminals or do I need a ticket? Believe I will need to check in again and go through customs how long will this take?
Many Thanks for your help.

You will clear customs on
You will clear customs on arrival (unless you depart from Shannon, you will clear US customs there). Take AirTrain (free) one stop from T4 to T5. You will check-in and clear security there. Allow one hour to clear customs and enough time to clear security at Jet Blue, travel time on AirTrain is less than one minute.
How long to collect luggage?
I am traveling in from the West Coast on Delta Airlines on Monday the 25th of April, arriving into JFK at 5:44 AM. I will be traveling to Penn Station to catch the Northbound Amtrak Adirondack which leaves at 8:15 AM and desire to take the AirTrain/LIRR route.
I am curious to know how long it generally takes for you to collect your baggage and walk to the nearest AirTrain station for Jamaica Station? Also, how does one get to the AirTrain station from the baggage carousels for a Delta flight? I think I have enough time to make the journey from JFK to Penn for my train, but I am still a little nervous!
After you collect your bags
After you collect your bags follow the signs to AirTrain, take Jamaica Station train on track 1. There should be elevator access just across the street from ground transportation. Definitely take LIRR, much faster to Penn Station than subway. You will pay peak fare ($8.50) but it's worth it. It's 15 minutes on AirTrain to Jamaica and 20 minutes on LIRR to Penn Station. Walk upstairs to the Amtrak concourse and wait for the boarding announcment and track #. I can usually make it from terminal to Penn Station in less than one hour. Not sure how far north you're going but if you've never taken the Adirondack you must sit on the left side for the best river views!!
From Terminal 7 to terminal 8
Hi! I'm connecting from BA to AA flights. How do I get from Terminal 7 to Terminal 8 and how much time do I need? Thanks in advance!
Take AirTrain on track 1 one
Take AirTrain on track 1 one stop from T7 to T8. Takes less than one minute.
Hi, we are going to spend 5
Hi, we are going to spend 5 days in NY, in an hotel situated close to Times Square. What will be the best thing for us to do? Go by subway? Shuttle bus? Taxi? Buy a card for the subway?..
Taxi is easiest and most
Taxi is easiest and most direct, but most expensive at $45+tolls+tip. You can take the NY Airporter bus from terminal to Port Authority ($15) which is only a few blocks from Times Square, or AirTrain to Jamaica Station and E subway ($2.25) to 42nd St. If you expect to use public transportation to get around during your stay definitely get a Metrocard. You can buy a pay-per-ride card, put as much $ as you want on it and use it for subway, bus and AirTrain. The 7-Day Unlimited Pass is $29 which includes unlimited subway and bus until midnight, but does not include AirTrain.
Call subway authorities
