Round trip from JFK to Jazz on the Park Hostel
I will fly to New York on May 21st and stay at Jazz on the Park Hostel, locating at 36 West 106th Street New York 10025. My flight is CX840, which is expected to arrive at NY at 21:05pm that day.
I will fly from New York to Los Angeles on May 25th and my flight is Delta 2663. Flight time is 7am.
I wonder how I can get to the hostel when arrival and what's the cost. How can I get to the JFK when leaving and what's the cost. Can I catch up my early flight if I take the subway+airtrain? If I take the cab, will it be possible traffic jam?
Thanks!
