Hi jfk, i arrive next friday at 24:06 hrs,

Metro North RR-Hudson line
Metro North RR-Hudson line stops at Hastings-on-Hudson, trains depart from Grand Central Terminal. At that time of night you're only options are taxi (flat rate $45+tolls+tip) or Airtrain to Jamaica Station, E subway to 53rd St, transfer to the downtown #6 subway to Grand Central. I'd take a taxi so late at night. Metro North-Hudson has trains every hour or so late nights.

Hello!
I arrive around lunchtime on 4th July 2010 at JFK airport in New York. I need to go to Port Authority Bus Terminal to catch a Bus that stops near Frenchwoods.
The route I figured out from the airport to the bus terminal is taking the AirTrain towards Howard Beach, that'll cost me $5 and then change on subway line A (end station Inwood 207 St) and leave at 42 St Port Authority Bus Terminal (I think I have to walk a bit...), that'll cost me $2.25.
Is that correct? And how long will the journey take me from the airport to the bus terminal?
Many thanks!
trip to the Met and back?
My family of five will arrive on Saturday at Terminal 5 on Jet Blue at 7am and leave at 6:30 for Australia at Terminal 7. Will we have time to drop our bags off at storage, go into Manhattan by the Airtrain/Subway route, see a show at the Metropolitan Museum, return by the same means to JFK, pick up our luggage and get through security to make our flight? If all this is feasible, is there any time saving advantage in storing our luggage at Terminal 1,4 or 8?
Transferring Terminals and Security Lines
I've read a few pages of comments and can't seem to figure out if/when one is transferring terminals whether you will also need to go through security again. I know that to get from one terminal to the other, you take the AirTrain -- but is AirTrain behind the security lines, meaning once you're on it you don't have to go through security again?
I'm flying into JFK from LAX on United (landing in Terminal 7) but will be connecting a flight to Vienna, which will depart from Terminal 1. When leaving Terminal 7 for Terminal 1 via the AirTrain, will I have to go through security again in Terminal 1?
Airtrain is outside security
Airtrain is outside security and when a passenger transfers via Airtrain he/she has to clear security again.
