I want to travel as cheap as possible from JFK to Howard Johnson hotel, adress 680 Route 3 West, Clifton, NJ 07012 US . Can someone tell me how i get there by public traffic the cheapest way?

JFK_Employee

Take Airtrain to Jamaica Station; price $5.
Transfer to Subway E to Penn Station; price $2.25
Take New Jersey Transit train to Clifton; price $5.50
There is a bus as well from Port Authority Station in Manhattan that might be more convenient for you.
Check www.njtransit.com for more details.

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

find a taxi with a baby seat in it. You can find one there.

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.

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 They are incorrect, out of date, and take an extra half hour because it is all local streets with a million stop lights.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.

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 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.

Anonymous100 (not verified)

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.

What's the quickest way to get from JFK airport to the Milford Plaza Hotel which is one block from Time Square? As well if it's cheaper to take train or subway vs a taxi can you please tell us which one to take. We will only have over night bags so luggage isn't a problem.

Thanks laurie
