Hi, I just wanted to know that do relatives coming to receive passengers have to pass through any security check before entering terminal
I'm going to arrive at JFK International Airport next Sunday, and I should get to the Grand Central Station from the airport to take a train to Conneticut. I wonder whether the Airtrain goes to the station or not. And, is there any other way I can get to the station? Or is this the only way? I should arrive at the station as soon as possible.
