hi, just wondering how long it will take to get from newark airport to jfk around midday on a monday or tuesday and the best way to travel?
Also will it be safe to travel on the airtrain at 9.00pm on a wednesday by myself(a 23yr old female?)
thanks =)

If you take the NJT train from the airport the most stops you could possiably have is 2. To get to Penn station NYC it will take you no longer than 45 minutes (train ride should only take about 25!)

If you don't mind a longer way take take either the train or bus to Newark Penn Station and take the path train- Anywhere from 1 hr to 1.5 hrs.

Air Train at anytime of the day is perfectly safe! When I was 23 I took it from Queens to JFK @ 4am!

EWR-JFK Best bet is to go to the Ground Transportation desk in the Arrivals Hall. There is an hourly shuttle bus, first come first served. Trip takes aprox 1 hour.
Re 9pm JFK Airtrain. Safe but beware of hard luck stories from seemingly fellow travellers who have lost their wallet etc.

how to take the airtrain to terminal 1 in JFK from Howard Beach Station? and how to pay the fee of airtrain?

My wife and I are arriving JFK on Thursday at 4:45 Pm and head to 1078 E 15th St in Brooklyn. We leave on a 6 AM flight on Sunday the 21st. What is our best way from and to the airport? We thought the Air Train to subway but we are concerned about the 6 AM leave and the trains running on a regular schedule at 4 AM ? Any advice/help will be VERY much appreciated!!

You should be just fine! Just watch for any service notices at your station ahead of time (they post them on paper everywhere). Trains run 24/7 365. The slow time is between 1am and 5am on a weekday but you will be fine just remember to leave a bit earlier!
