Unfortunately, easiest rarely equals cheapest. The absolute cheapest way by public transportation is to get to Terminal 4 (you can ride the AirTrain between terminals free of charges), and then take to Q10 or Q10 Limited bus to the end of the line (Kew Gardens) for $2.25. From Kew Gardens, take a Manhattan-bound E train to Penn Station. If you purchase a Metrocard at JFK before boarding the bus, you will get a free transfer from the bus to the subway; otherwise you will have to pay a separate subway fare ($2.25 or $2.50, depending on whether you purchase a Metrocard or a single-ride ticket at the subway station).

Hi,
Whats the best way to get 3adults and 1 kid with 7bags from jfk to Marriot downtown. Thanks in advance.

Have to pick up my daughter at terminal 7, am driving from Albany,NY, how long will it take, will be using the I-95.

Not sure exactly how long - depending on where you actually leave from, but your looking at a good 4-5 hour drive at least !

Does anyone know how to get in touch with Royal Air Maroc? They never pick up their phone. I booked a flight with them on line but wasn't offered the opportunity to get a seat assignment. I'm trying to touch base with them but they are impossible to reach. Any suggestions?

I am coming from New Windsor NY. What is the cheapest way to get to the Jet Blue terminal at JFK?

Probably by train, approx. $25: go to the Metro North/NJ Transit station at Salisbury Mills-Cornwall (southwest of New Windsor on the other side of the Thruway) and take the Port Jervis line train to Secaucus Jct, go to the station upper level and take any NJ Transit train to Penn Station ($14), transfer to LIRR ($5.75) or E subway ($2.25) to Jamaica and take AirTrain ($5) from there to terminals.

Hi, there,
We all three 2 adults and 1 kid will arrive at JFK early Dec, and rent a car to head towards Empire state building. How would the parking cost around the area?

Thanks a lot in advance.
