subway/Airtrain to JFK questions
Hi - I'm going to JFK from Manhattan (UWS), and would like to take the airtrain. 1.) Do I take the E train from Times Square or the A? To where, Jamaica? And, 2.) How much time should I allow for the entire trip? I understand the airtrain takes about 8 minutes to circle the terminals, but how long does the subway typically take from Times Square to Jamaica? 3.) Are there signs on the Airtrain that tell you which airline is at which terminal? Unless you can tell me - I'm looking for United domestic. 4.) Lastly, what are the hours of Airtrain's operation? Thanks!

Airtrain Breakdown Friday 4/1
The AirTrain system closed down last night and their seemed to be no realistic back up plan. A couple hundred of passengers (including myself) were dumped out at Federal Circle, and after quickly filling two buses, many of us (~100) were left standing in line for nearly an hour waiting for another bus. Adding insult to injury, two or three empty buses left for Jamaica station during that time. With no cab line at Federal Circle, I'm sure there were many, many folks who missed flights. Bottom line: How often does the Airtrain system shut down, and why isn't there a better back-up plan to get passengers to the terminals when it does?
