Hiya
I am coming to New York next week and I need to get to Penn Station, how do I get there via train from JFK?
Take AirTrain from your terminal to Jamaica Station and then either LIRR (faster, more comfortable, overhead luggage racks) or E subway (cheaper) to Penn Station.
AirTrain only runs between JFK terminals, rental cars, long term parking and public transportation links at Jamaica and Howard Beach Stations. You can take the LIRR-Montauk Branch train to Mastic-Shirley from Penn Station in Manhattan or Jamaica Station.
Hi! What's the fastest way to get from Juilliard to JFK?
60 Lincoln Center Plz
New York, NY 10023-6500
Thank you!
Taxi is probably fastest, cost is $45+tolls+tip. You can also take subway which is cheaper but would require a few transfers and take longer; #1 subway from 66th St/Lincoln Center one stop to 59th St, transfer to the C subway one stop to 50th St, transfer to the Jamaica-bound E subway to Sutphin Blvd/JFK, transfer to AirTrain to all terminals.
