By train you can take the PATH from Hoboken to 33rd St./Penn Station, then LIRR to Jamaica and Airtrain from there to your terminal. Per person, PATH is $1.75, LIRR $5.25 and Airtrain $5. Considering your flight leaves at 6am and you'd ideally need to be at JFK by 4am taxi or driving might be your fastest and easiest mode of transportation. Long term parking is $18 per day and you can take Airtrain from the lot to all terminals. Taxi would probably cost $80+. Travel time at that hour by car or taxi is about one hour, double that by train as PATH and LIRR runs every 30 minutes late night and Airtrain is 10-15 minutes from Jamaica to terminals.
I need direction about how to get to cambridge,NY from JFK.I'm flying to USA for the first time from Turkey and I have 1 big luggage.I'm going to turnpike road in Cambridge to be exact. Please I need direction and how to go about transportation. Thanks in advance.
By train: go to Penn Station (Airtrain from terminal to Jamaica Station and either LIRR or E subway to Penn Station) and take the Amtrak-Adirondack train to Saratoga Springs and then local transportation from there to Cambridge. This train runs northbound from NY only once a day leaving at 8:15am and arrives in Saratoga Springs around 12noon. By bus: go to Port Authority Bus Terminal (Airtrain to Jamaica and E subway to 42nd St./Port Authority or NYAS express bus from terminal to Port Authority). Greyhound/Adirondack Trailways has bus service with a stop in Saratoga Springs (no transfer) or Greyhound to Saratoga Springs with a transfer in Albany. Check www.greyhound.com for schedules and fares.
Hey guys I´m arriving to JFK at 1am on saturday and need to get to Penn station by 6am. could you please tell me the easiest, cheaper and safer way to get there?
Thanks a bunch!
Since there's no shuttle bus at that hour, a taxi will cost you $50+tip but is safe, the safest public transportation route is Airtrain from your terminal to Jamaica Station and then LIRR to Penn Station. Trains to Penn from Jamaica run about every half hour even in the middle of the night ($10.25 w/Airtrain). The E subway also runs from Jamaica to Penn but some folks wouldn't ride the subway in the middle of the night and it's tough if you have luggage ($7.25 w/Airtrain). LIRR trains have overhead racks.
Can you please tell me the best way to get from JFK to east brunswick, NJ via public transportation?
Take Airtrain to Jamaica Station, then E subway to Penn Station, then NJ Transit NE Corridor train to New Brunswick.
My family and I (4 people) are looking for best way to get to Madison Avenue hotel from JFK on 15th Aug AND best way then to get to La Guardia from hotel on 17th Aug.
Has anyone any good suggestions please?
Also any idea of costs?
We will each have a large suitcase!!
The best way for four people with luggage is to take a taxi(yellow cab) - it will cost you flat fare of $50.50 for all four of you(from JFK to the hotel in Manhattan).
From the hotel to LGA the taxi will charge you on the meter - expect to pay between $35-$45.
Hello,
Please help me find an inexpensive way and schedule to go from EWR to JFK round trip (possible)
Thanks
Try State Shuttle - they have hourly service between the two airports and the price is $30. Check with the ground transportation people at either airport for the service.
My flight information is as follows:
From St. Louis(STL) to New York City(JFK)----American Airlines
From New York City(JFK)to Shanghai(PVG)---China Eastern Airlines
Do I need claim baggages and then re-check it when I arrive at JFK．
My niece is Flying Delta from Malaga via JFK to Los Angeles the 12th of August. She is a US citizen.
What will the procedure be at JFK? Will she have to go through passport control and customs? Does she have to check in again at JFK? And finally, will she have to change terminals?
She has to go through immigration, pick up her bags and go through US customs. Then she can re-check the bags at Delta connecting flights counter. It is very hard to determine if she has to change the terminals since Delta operates out of three terminals at JFK(T2,T3 and T4).

I am arriving at JFK from England on 19th September and have to get to Fairfield Inn Long Island City Van Dam Street. Could anyone tell me the best way to get there without taking a cab.
Subway should get you pretty close. Take Airtrain from your terminal to Jamaica Station, then take the E subway to Jackson Hgts/Roosevelt Ave. Follow signs to transfer to the Manhattan-bound #7 subway to 33rd St./Rawson St. Walk two blocks west on Queens Blvd. to Van Dam St. Turn left and follow Van Dam St. under the L.I. Expressway to the hotel.
HI!
Can anyone tell me how can I get to JFK from Brighton Beach the fastest?If I dont want to use taxi, but subway.
My flight will take off at 10:30, so i was planning of leaving towards JFK around 12 noon.
Take the B or Q train to Prospect Park, transfer to the Franklin Ave. Shuttle, get off at last stop Franklin Ave. and transfer to the C subway. Get off at next stop Nostrand Ave., wait for a Rockaway-bound A train (do NOT take the Ozone Park-bound A) to Howard Beach and take Airtrain to terminals. You can also take the F train to Jay St./Borough Hall and transfer to the Rockaway-bound A train.
I woukd like to know how I would get from JFK terminal 4 to 152 West 26th street (Fashion 26A Wyndham Hotel)via bus or train after 10pm the 4 august 2010. thank you very much.
by train :
take Airtrain to Jamaica Station and then subway E; get off at 23rd street stop. Walk 1 block east on W23rd street and make left ,then three blocks and make right on W26 street; the address should be on your right.
by shuttle:
Go to ground transportation(welcome center ) counter and ask for door-to-door shuttle. If the counter is closed , you can use the self-service phones(dial 18 for Airlink or 29 for Super Shuttle). The shuttle will take you right to your address for $18.50-$25.

Taxi is certainly safest and most direct route, cost is $45+tolls+tip. By subway; take Airtrain from your terminal to Howard Beach Station, transfer to the A subway and get off at 59th St./Columbus Circle stop. Walk north on Central Park West to W. 63rd St.

Hello,
We need directions to the Long Term Parking on Lefferts Blvd.?
How many hours before take off should we arrive for an international flight?
Netbooks and iPods are to brought in on carry on, right?
Thank you for your time.
When you enter the airport area follow the signs for Long Term Parking. Take the Airtrain from there to terminals. Arrive at least 2.5 to 3 hours prior for international departures. Netbooks and iPods are permitted in carry on bags but be sure to remove them from your bag and place them separately in the gray bin to go through the x-ray at security.
hi, how do i get from jfk to Northfield new jersey?
can someone pls explain to me how i get from jfk to that erea?
thanks
uriya
Which Northfield, there are two of them in NJ; in Atlantic County near Atlantic City or in Essex County near Livingston? Are you driving or taking bus/train?
Anyone know how much the tolls are driving from Bogota, NJ in to JFK and if there are any alternate routes that do not have tolls on them? Oh and which terminal is Delta or North West located?
You will have to pay tolls somewhere along the way as all crossings (bridge & tunnel)entering NY from NJ require tolls as well as the major crossings into Queens. GWB, Holland and Lincoln Tunnel is $8 to NY only and Triborough or Whitestone bridge is $2.25 (discount with EZPass) each way. Northwest merged with Delta so all flights are considered Delta, they are located at Terminal 2&3.
We're arriving to JFK from southwest and our flight leaves from terminal 7. Which of the two Avises should we return our rental car to so that we'd be as close to the terminal as possible?
There is only one AVIS facility at JFK, located at Federal Circle(where all of the rest rental companies are at).

Is there public transit from the dock to JFK and how long would it take on a Saturday. thanks
Probably you meant Redhook, Brooklyn?
There is a public from there but with a lot of transfers(bus-subway-Airtrain). Let me know if you need the exact way.

Hello, do you know the terminal where Lan Chile (departure) is located. Also, if I have to left my car in the long term parking lot how I can go from there to the Lan Chile terminal and for how long I can leave my car there.
Thank you for your help
Lan Chile should be terminal 4. There's an Airtrain station at long term parking which you can take to your terminal. Long term rates are $18/day, not sure if there's a set time limit but I'm sure there are people who leave cars there for weeks.
How exactly do I get from the Jet Blue terminal to Long Term parking and about how long should this take.
Take Airtrain on the third floor of T5, on track 1(Howard Beach bound train) .
Be careful - on that track there are two alternating trains going to different routes; check the sign above the doors as the train arrives; the green colored sign indicates that the train is the one going to the long term parking lot. It takes ~15 min to get there.

I have a family member coming in at terminal 3 (Delta) who needs to get to Qantas which I believe is terminal 7. What is the easiest way to get there for someone who gets lost easily? Thank you!
Taxi would be the easiest way if the person does not mind paying ~$10-$12.
Besides that Airtrain across the street is another alternative free option.
ANY train on ANY track will take you to T7.

I am new to New York and will fly in soon from Africa.I am destinated for Wall Street and Greater New York Chamber of Commerce located at 20 West 44th Street, 4th floor New York City, NY 10036.
Can anyone tell me the cheapest means of transport from JFK Airport to Wall Street(New York Stock Exchange) and then from Wall Street to " 20 West 44th Street.
Please in which borough is the Chamber of Commerce located?
I will also like to have the cheapest JFK hotel apart from JFK Plaza Hotel.
Thank you.
The cheapest way is to take Airtrain and then subway.
Take Airtrain to Howard Beach station and the subway A towards Manhattan. Get off at Fulton St-Broadway Nassau stop. From there you can walk south on either Broadway or Nassau street couple of blocks until you reach wall Street.
From Wall Street you can take subway 2 or 3 to Times Square where your second destination is . The address is on W44th street between 5th and 6th Ave.
All these addresses are located in borough of Manhattan.

Good afternoon,
My family and I (three of us) will be traveling to Jamaica soon. Our flight is through Air Jamaica. We depart at 6AM. We live in Hoboken, NJ. We are thinking of either grabbing a taxi to the airport, taking train/shuttle, or driving and parking in long term parking. Can you please provide information for each in terms of time, cost, convenience? We typically travel out of Newark (EWR); however, wanted a non stop flight to Montego Bay so needed to fly out of JFK.
Also, what time should we arrive at the airport since our flight is at 6AM (on a Thursday)?
We really appreciate your help, thank you!
