Hi,
we'll be arriving this Sunday at 16:50 at JFK with a party of six, would you recommend we should take a taxi to Manhattan (One United Nations Plaza) or go for the JFK AirTrain, which would be the fastest regarding rush hour?
Thanks a lot
The fastest would be taxi
The fastest would be taxi around 50$ to Manhattan.

Terminal 3 to AirTrain
I'll be arriving on an international Delta flight at terminal 3 JFK and need to get to the AirTrain. I hear that this is tricky. How exactly do I find the AirTrain after I get my luggage?
From terminal 3 arrivals
From terminal 3 arrivals hall go outside to the next building take an elevator to the 3rd floor and follow the signs for the air train. It is very simple and not tricky.
