subway/Airtrain to JFK questions
Hi - I'm going to JFK from Manhattan (UWS), and would like to take the airtrain. 1.) Do I take the E train from Times Square or the A? To where, Jamaica? And, 2.) How much time should I allow for the entire trip? I understand the airtrain takes about 8 minutes to circle the terminals, but how long does the subway typically take from Times Square to Jamaica? 3.) Are there signs on the Airtrain that tell you which airline is at which terminal? Unless you can tell me - I'm looking for United domestic. 4.) Lastly, what are the hours of Airtrain's operation? Thanks!

How to get from JFK to Newark Penn Station on Sat evening
Hi -
we (family of 5) will arrive at JFK on Sat, 5/22 at (planned) 7:40 PM - but that might be later if there are any delays on int'l flights.
We then have to reach our hotel in Newark NJ.
What would be a fast and - hopefully - not too expensive way to do this?
Many thanks for any info!
H.M.
