Just provide the address to Parking Lot B.
Your website provides lots of information, but makes it extremely difficult to get the address to specific long term parking lots. I want the address so that I can put it into my GPS system in my iPhone.
Just do it....
Lefferts Bl - AirTrain Station B Jamaica NY 11430.
Thai is what works in Google maps.... Hope it works with GPS systems.

Hi:
We are travelling with an infant and arriving at JFK. What is the best way to get to manhattan (5th and 62)?
We can't take a taxi since we are not taking the car seat with us. We thought either train or subway would work best.
Thanks, E
If 2 or more people are travelling, a yellow cab is the cheapest. There are shuttle buses (operated by Carrier) that will take you to Grand Central Station (42 & Park Ave)from there you will either take a city bus or walk. Carrier will charge you approx half of what a cab will cost you per person.

Best way to go from JFK to University of New Heaven (Connecticut)?
Thank you!
The person who wrote the directions "From the West via I-78" to the airport is a sadist. Absolutely DO NOT follow them. They are incorrect, out of date, and take an extra half hour because it is all local streets with a million stop lights. Just take the Belt Parkway from the Verrazano.
We (2) need to know how to get to JFK from Norwood NJ on June 3, 2009 in the late morning around noon. We may use train combined with shuttle.

Is there any type of transportation bedsides a taxi, such as a shuttle, bus, or subway to get to Columbia University?
Here's the cheapest way to go, although it will take at least an hour. Take the AirTrain to Jamaica Station. You'll have to buy a MetroCard with at least $7 on it. They'll charge $5 for the transfer from AirTrain to Jamaica, and $2 for the subway. Take the E train towards Manhattan and get off at 42nd St (Port Authority)- it'll take about 45 mins. Transfer to the uptown 1 train and get off at 116th Street/Columbia U.
Good luck!
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS A PAY SERVICE AT JFK AIRPORT TO ESCORT PASSENGERS FROM TERMINAL 1 TO TERMINAL 3.

I can't believe this is JFK's website. It is the most poorly designed site for an international airport. Very disappointing to say the least.
My flight leaves on November 26 from JFK to Toronto at 7.55 and it's COMAIR. I have no idea to which terminal i have to go, i just know that it's gate 23, but where? Can somebody please help me, thank you so much!!!
Have you never flown before? Have you no common sense? Is a JFK comment board really your first choice for good travel information? Had you not considered first searching the website that you're already on? Contacting the airline? Checking your ticket? Or perhaps even waiting until you arrived at the airport to consult one of the many conveniently and very visibly located directories that must surely be available to you? What on earth do you think everyone else does?
***
It's Terminal 3.
I had the same issue, and I fly at least once a week for work. Neither flightstats nor delta nor my ticket say which terminal and there are 8 different ones at JFK. I tried waiting and going to the gate before, but what makes you think they know -- or worse -- will not take up hours of your time.
I'm glad someone asked the question, but this helped me a lot today.
I land on 18 Nov. at 1:35pm with LH 400 Terminal 1 and want to fly on to Phili at 2pm with Delta, how far is the Distant and do i have enough time to catch my plane?
Under site navigation, click info. You will see the address. Hope this helps.
