I am flying into New York in the morning and my connecting flight leaves at 9 in the evening. I want to take the airtrain and see some of New York. What do you recommend and what is the easiest to get to? I don't want to go anywhere that is complicated....just see a bit of New York during the daytime.

HELLO again,
is there somebody to tell me, what's the best / cheapest way to get from jfk to get to a hotel close to 106 st / central park north west? Shall we take a shuttle (maybe you've an idea for a serious transport (www...??)), the train or a cab??
THANK YOU FOR A SHORT ANSWER.

Depends how many of you are needing transport.

yellow cab is a flat $50 (including tip)

other option is to get the super shuttle, whereby you share the ride with others arriving. It costs $20 per person. Would probably work out cheaper if you are travelling in a large group. http://www.supershuttle.com

Cheapest is the train, but it takes a long time!

i am surprising my best friend of seven years, so she cant really tell me how to get around. So I need help on how to get to LONG ISLAND ( shirley) from JFk?

Shirley,LI isapproximately 50 milesfrom JFK. Shirley is on the south shore of LI in mid suffolk county. Leastexpensive way is using mass transit. You would take the airtrain monorail to the Jamaica Long Island Railroad Station, and from there treansferto a train going to Shirley. Will probably take at least 2 hours total time and about $20.00 US. Only otheroption would be to pre arrange a carservice to pick u up, probably cost at least 75 to 100 dollars. Any other questions please just ask. Good Luck . HG
