Yes, look for and take AirTrain to the subway, JFK Airport stop of the A Train. Take the A Train towards Manhattan, get off at 34th St./Penn Station stop.

this site is a mess. there is no indication on how to get from one terminal to the other and how to get to downtown Manhattan the most efficent way.

Use the NYC MTA website for travel connections from JFK to Manhattan. Briefly, take Airtrain to the Jamacia station, then the E subway or the LIRR. The Airtrain ride is $5 and the subway is $2.25. LIRR is a few bucks more.

how do I get from terminal 6 to port authority biuld 14 from airtrain?

You pay for it before you get on the train. You can use your MTA card.

Hey,
