Hi:

Is there an air train from Terminal 4 (international terminal to Terminal 5 (JET BLUE AIRLINE)?

Hi,
can you help me please , how can i get to 103rd station form JFK ?
Thank you.

Hi. I need to get from T7 to T8 - is it close enough to walk (I will have luggage) or easy to jump on the airtrain.
Thanks

Hi! We need to catch a plane at JFK tomorrow night (saturday 28 feb) and we're staying at the Sheraton New York hotel. Do we go by subway, train, bus...?
Would be thankful for some advise.

Take the E train @ 53rd Street and 7th Avenue to Jamaica station (in Queens). When you arrive at Jamaice, go upstairs (use the elevator),and follow the signs to AirTrain (you will walk right past all the Long Island Rail Road platforms), and it will take you to the JetBlue terminal (#6 I believe). It is easy as can be, although the walk from the AirTrain to Jetblue is a healthy one (all indoors, there is a moving walkway). The cost is $2.25 for the subway, and $5.00 for the AirTrain, total $7.25.

Can anyone update with the Airtrain service status?

I can't seem to find a page that has it.

Thanks in advance.

What is the best method for traveling from JFK to Hofstra University in Hempstead?

We need to get to the IZOD center in NJ right after our arrival at JFK and then to our Hotel in Hoboken after the Nets-game. Do you know what's the fastest way there and if there's any options to leave luggage during the game for pick up later?
thanks!

I need to get from terminal 3 to terminal 4. And I need to take my luggage with me. need help ASAP

DO NOT attempt airtrain between JFK terminal 2&3. Airtrain only has one stop serving both terminals! The walkway between the two is easy with four motorized walkways. Do not attempt to walk between the terminals outside if 1) you have luggage; or 2) there is weather.

If I ride the airtrain to Howard beach station, can I buy a 7-day pass overthere and ride the subway with this pass to Manhattan ?
Thanks !

I want to pick someone up from JFK. Does anyone know if I have to pay the Airtrain fee twice? Or is there another way or special pick up fee?
Thanks for advice
