I am arriving tomorrow to jfk, is there an easy, cheap way to get to manhattan hotels without ride sharing? Air tran to something?

Will be arriving from the uk at terminal 4, would like to take the airtrain to Penn Station. I am an invalid, although I can walk, how far it airtrain station from terminal 4. How often do the trains run, and do we pay before getting on the train or on the train itself.

From Terminal 4 you can take the elevator to the Airtrain and get off at the Howard Beach stop. From there take the subway A-train to Penn Station.

The Air train runs every 5 minutes and the fee is $6.00. You pay when you exit the Airtrain. In this case at the Howard Beach stop. You will also need a metro card to get on the subway which is $2.50.

Need to get from JFK to the MET then back. Airtrain to Jamaica Beach or Howard Beach? Will I need to transfer once on the subway?

I arrive by Uzbekistan airways at terminal 4 and departure from terminal 3 by delta. How can I reach terminal 3

If all goes well, we arrive at T5 JetBlue at 20:44 and depart T4 Emirates at 23:00. Will this be enough time to transit between the 2 terminals and any other processes?

Hello, I will be arriving next week on Terminal 4, and I need to get to Terminal 3 for another flight. How can I find the Airtrain that takes me only through terminals, what track is it? Is there anything special I need to know? Are there clear signals?
Thanks

I am arriving at T2. I want to go to T4. Does the airtrain reach inside the T4 or do I need to walk outside to reach T4?Thanks in advance.

I will be arriving in terminal 4 and need to get to queensbridge subway station. Can you advise me on the route please? Thanks

My wife's arriving terminal 4 on Monday and she needs to take the airtrain from term 4 to terminal 5. She doesn't speak or read very good english so I want a foolproof way to get her on the train so she can't get lost.
What track is the "all terminals" airtrain in terminal 4? I realize that there are probably shorter ways to get from 4 to 5 but I would rather be safe. The worst that can happen is that she goes in a circle if she misses 5/6.
I think it's track 2 but not sure. Also, is it color coded?

what is the best way to T1(china estern) from T5(jetblue)? how many hours I need to take into consideration bewteen? Thanks.

Take the JFK AirTrain from JetBlue (T5) to
Terminal 1(T1) for $5. Twenty to 30-minutes the most.

Or, hop into a NYC Taxi outside Terminal 1 and give the driver $8-10.

I would like to Know if there is the option for the Airtrain from JFK to Newark or La Guardia and the time for wich trip

Sorry but there is not an AirTrain that connects the three airports (JFK, Newark or LaGuardia)
Please vist this site: http://www.panynj.gov/airports/jfk-airport-connections.html
to find out the best way to travel between the various airports. Thanks!

What is the best way to get from T5 (JetBlue) that arrives at 11:30am to get to T7 (Cathay Pacific) that leaves at 2pm? Which tram should I use?
