3 adults travelling from Sheraton Tribeca to JFK. Is it correct to take the A line subway from Canal St to Howard beach station and change for the A-train to Terminal 7?
How long will this take? Need to check in 16.45.
Do you know with the subway at Canal St A-line and changing at Howard beach station is it difficult with large bags, up/down stairs, through turnstyles?
Arriving in JFK next week...I need to get to Penn Station. From the map it looks like I take AirTrain to the Jamaica Station. Then take the LIRR to Penn Station.
I want to confirm travel is correct. Also, how much does the LIRR cost to Penn Station?
Thanks in advance.
