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.

Do you know if the children pay? Y have two children 4 and 2 years old.

Children 5 and younger ride for free.

I am coming into JFK on American (terminal 7) from SFO at 8:40pm on 8/21 and have a 1hr 15 mins layover before i catch my flight to Shannon (SNN)at 9:55pm on Delta (Terminal 3). I will not be checking in my luggage. Is this enough time to make my international flight?

If you have your boarding pass for the Delta flight issued from AA, then you have to be at Delta terminal no later
than 9:25.
If you don't have that boarding pass and it needs to be issued by Delta then you have to be there no later than 8:55.
As you see your time frame is very limited.

me and my children will be flying into terminal 3 on delta air lines on the 30th of june.my wife is picking us up so i need to give her directions to the parking area nearest terminal 3 and i understand this to be the green lot.plz repliy soon
thanks

Yes, the green lot serves T1, T2 and T3. Tell her to follow signs to Green parking.

I want to drop off my mom at terminal 4 who will be taking an Etihad airlines flight. I wish to stick around till she finishes her check-in and security procedures. If I park my car in the 'blue' lot, how can I get to terminal 4?

How far is the parking from the terminal? And is there a way I can drop her off at the terminal, park and make my way back to the terminal?

Thanks,
BG

You can do that - blue lot is located just across the street from T4.

My daughter arrives tomorrow at terminal 3. Needs to pick up her baggage and then get to common pickup area at terminal 7 or 8. Can someone help with tips on how to best navigate around the airport so she is prepared?

Let her take Airtrain on any track to either T7 or T8. The pick up areas at those terminals are on the first floor.

Can you please tell me that how i get train to Central Islip- Ronkonkoma Line on the long Island?

Hope to hear from you soon.

Take Airtrain on Track 1 from your terminal to Jamaica Station where LIRR is located. You can purchase your Airtrain and LIRR fare on one ticket at the automated kiosks located where you exit Airtrain.

which is the easiest and cheapest way to get to Cranbury,NJ from JFK ?

How long does it take to take airtrain from terminal 2 to terminal 4? Which floor do I catch the train from terminal 2? Is there a faster choice? thanks!!
