Hi.
For the guy at the "Newkirk" Station. Do you mean Q or B Train to Newkirk subway? If so, take the Q or B (only runs weekdays not weekends) TOWARDS MANHATTAN. Get off at the Atlantic Station Stop. Walk up to the Long Island Railroad and purchase a ticket from there to the Jamaica stop (tell the teller you are catching airtrain). Once you purchase you ticket, check the board to see the LIRR departure time. Take LIRR to Jamaica, jump on the AIRTRAIN and get to JFK.

Taxi to anywhere in
Taxi to anywhere in Manhattan from JFK will cost $45+tolls+tip. Airtrain/subway will cost $7.25-take Airtrain from your terminal to Jamaica Station, take the E subway and transfer at any stop after Jamaica/Van Wyck or as far as Jackson Heights to the F subway to 23rd St. which is near 6th Ave. and your destination. If you continue on the E subway to 23rd St. the stop is on the west side and a long walk to where you want to go.

I will be arriving at JFK at 7:30 am from South America (New York is our first point in the U.S.), and after a large-scale I have to take another flight. I have been told we have to take our luggage to customs control. Need to know if at the end of the process I have to stay with my luggage and check it again before my next flight or I can check it immediately after the end of this control.

At T4 go to Airtrain on
At T4 go to Airtrain on third level and take the Airtrain marked Jamaica Station. At Jamaica Station transfer to the E subway to 42nd St./Port Authority. When you exit Airtrain you will purchase your Airtrain/Metrocard at one of the self-service kiosks to pay for both Airtrain and subway. There are nice folks there to help you.
