I will come on the 29th to JFK from Zurich.I have to go to Morristown NJ.How can I go from JFK to Morristown?

There is no direct connection from JFK to Morristown,NJ.
You have to use public transportation to get there.
1. By train:
Take Airtrain from any terminal on track 1 to Jamaica Station( be careful - on that track there are two alternating trains going to different routes; check the sign above the doors as the train arrives; the red colored sign is Jamaica one). Then either:
-take subway line E to Penn Station or
-take LIRR to Penn Station(faster but more expensive)
At Penn Station take NJ transit train to Morristown,NJ.

2. By bus:
Take Airtrain from any terminal on track 1 to Jamaica Station. Then take subway E to 42nd street-Port Authority Bus Terminal(there is another express bus called New York Express Service that leaves in front of every terminal at JFK and goes express to PA Bus terminal)
At PA Bus Terminal take a bus to Morristown,NJ.

We need to arrange airport transfers from Newark Liberty Airport to Comfort Inn, 42 West 35th St. New York. 2 Adults & 2 Boys (11 & 8)& suitcases travelling together in Sep 2010.

Can we use the Airtrain and get off near our hotel. If so, where do we get off and how much will it cost for a one way trip. Can we purchase tickets in advance, or on the day of travel.

Thanks

How do I get from JFK to New York Marriott Downtown 85 West Street at Albany? I dont want to spend $50 bucks on a cab. Even walking a few blocks to the hotel is fine, only one bag so lot alot of luggage to worry about

Airtrain to Jamaica Station + subway E to WTC/last stop/ will do the job .

Hi Sid,
The fare will be $7.25 per person to your final address.
Take Airtrain on track 1 to Jamaica Station, then take subway line E to Queens Plaza; there transfer to bus Q102 toward 2nd street. Get off on 30 Ave/30 st.

thanks for your help

I will be arriving in Manhattan by bus from Allentown, Pa. and need to know the best way to get to JFK for a flight to Kenya. will have luggage.

I guess you are arriving at Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan. From there you can either take yellow cab(flat fare of $45+$5.50 toll) or NYAS express bus to JFK($15 per person).
