Is there a place on the internet to get service updates on the AirTrain? Hard to tell whether it is running or not? Trying to plot a path to JFK (from NJ via Penn Station) this evening for late PM departure and hoping for any insight about AirTrain connection to NY Subway.
thanks!

I understand that AirTrain closed because of snow late this afternoon. Does anyone know when it is scheduled to open again? Or taxis, or busses, or car services, or any way to leave the airport?

The web suggests only
The web suggests only routine delays due to service and maintenance for yesterday which certainly was not the case; no one was doing maintenance in the blizzard.

You take air train to either
You take air train to either Jamaica or Howard Beach Station (both final stops take you to the Penn station) To get to the final stops of Air train takes approximately 15 min. To get from Howard beach or jamaica (either A or E subway) takes about 1 hour and 20 min to Penn station.
Hi, As much as I understood
Hi,
As much as I understood Airtrain seems to be one of the best possibilities to get to Manhatten directly. But could you tell me: I need to get from JFK Terminal 1 to Penn Station. How long does this ride take?
Thank you!

Bowery station is on the J
Bowery station is on the J subway line, so take AirTrain to Jamaica Station, not Howard Beach, and transfer to the J subway there. Trains run every 10 minutes. NOTE: due to the snow AirTrain and above ground subway service will not resume until tracks are cleared.
Times of Air Train
My flight will be getting to JFK at 5:30am, will the Air Train be running at that around time? Or does it have certain hours of operation?
