1. Please confirm AirTrain is free between terminals and runs 24 hours a day.

2. Does each terminal have its own bagagge claim?

3. Advise if we are permitted to check baggage 8 hours prior to flight departure.

Hello,

Flying into JFK on Thursday, I will arrive at 20.30, looking for most affordable route to on Chinatown (Manhattan NYC)

I presume AirTrain will be quickest and easiest option, but what stations and lines do I need?

Yes, take Airtrain to Jamaica station and then the J subway to Bowery. Station is at Bowery and Delancey so walk about three blocks south on Bowery to your destination which is a block north of Canal St.
