Will you have to clear U.S.
Will you have to clear U.S. Customs and Immigration upon your arrival at JFK? Will you have checked baggage to claim? If so, does your inbound airline have an interline baggage agreement with your outbound airline, so that you can re-check the bags at Terminal 1 after you clear Customs? These factors can affect whether you will make your connection.
Getting from Terminal 1 to Terminal 5 should only take about ten minutes: you can take any AirTrain, in either direction.
TIME FROM JAMAICA TO CONTINENTAL TERMINAL JFK
How long will it take me from Jamaica to Terminal at JFK where Contintal flight leaves. And how often does the Airtrain come?
I am trying to figure out what train to take for a flight
Are you sure that you are on
Are you sure that you are on a Continental flight, as opposed to a "code share" flight operated by another carrier? I do not believe that Continental flies out of JFK.
In any event, the AirTrain ride from Jamaica Station will take about 10-15 minutes to the terminals. (In three minutes, you will not have even arrived at the first stop, which is Federal Circle.) And from Jamaica Station, the AirTrain can depart from either track, as Jamaica is a terminal for AirTrain.
Is "sutphin station" the
Is "sutphin station" the same as Jamaica Station?
Sutphin Boulevard/Archer
Sutphin Boulevard/Archer Avenue/JFK is the name of the "E" train subway station located directly beneath Jamaica Station, where the AirTrain and Long Island Rail Road stop.
Do not confuse Sutphin/Archer/JFK with Sutphin/Hillside; the latter is an "F" train subway station, several blocks north of Sutphin/Archer/JFK and Jamaica Station.
Hi, I´m helping a friend
Hi, I´m helping a friend checking in at terminal 5 later today. My flight to San Diego leaves from terminal 8 at 5.15 pm. When should I be leaving terminal 5 in order not to be late for checking in for my flight at terminal 8? /Thanks.
JFK to Van Dam St, Long Island City 11101
Hi!
Iʻm from Hawaii and visiting New York City for the first time! How do I get from JFK to Van Dam Street in Long Island city using the subway?
AirTrain to Jamaica Station.
AirTrain to Jamaica Station. Then, Manhattan-bound "E" train to Roosevelt Avenue/Jackson Heights, and transfer to a Manhattan-bound #7 train to 33rd Street/Queens Boulevard. If you want to avoid taking two subways, you can instead take a Manhattan-bound Q-60 bus from Jamaica Station to 33rd Street, but the bus ride will take longer.
Note that if your particular destination on Van Dam Street is not close to Queens Boulevard, you might have a long walk (or short taxi ride) to get there. Map the location on www.mapquest.com to see how far it is from Queens Boulevard.
The fastest way to get to the airtrain

Thank you
D train to Seventh Avenue
D train to Seventh Avenue station in Manhattan; then, Queens-bound E train on the lower level to Sutphin/Archer/JFK station. AirTrain from there to your terminal. There is normal AirTrain service until 9:00 PM nightly.
Caution: on weekday afternoons, some E trains run along the F line in Queens. Make sure you board an E train whose destination sign reads "Jamaica Center," or "Parsons/Archer."
Best way to go from JFK airport to Wall Street
Allo,
I'm landind at JFK airport and I want to get to Wall Street, do you know which is the best way to get there? Do I have to use train only or subway?
thanks in advance
You will need to take the
You will need to take the subway to reach Manhattan. Take a "Howard Beach" AirTrain from your terminal to the last stop. At Howard Beach station, take a Manhattan-bound "A" train to "Fulton Street"; Wall Street is a short walk from there.
There is also a slightly less expensive option: From JFK Terminal 4, you can take a Q-10 or Q-10 Limited bus to Lefferts Boulevard and Liberty Avenue, and board the "A" train to Manhattan from there. This route will likely take a little longer than the AirTrain/subway combination.
Air Train reliable?
I need to take the Airtrain this Thursday morning to make a 9:30 am flight. I know the service advisory says service to the Howard Beach stop resumes normal service after 7am. Has this been happening without delay? I don't want to arrive at 8am to find they haven't resumed running to Howard Beach. How quickly to they actually get that service back in order every morning?
Airtrain from JFK to Airtrain
Will we be able to take Airtrain at 10am to Jamica? From the message on the LIRR it looks like it only operates at night???
Special MessageDue to construction, AirTrain JFK will only operate between Jamaica & Federal Circle, Sunday through Thursday, from 9:00 PM to 7:00 AM through Friday, August 19th. Free Shuttle Bus Service will be provided at the Howard Beach, Lefferts Boulevard and Federal Circle AirTrain Stations and at all Airline Terminals. Please expect delays during these times.
At 10:00 AM, you will be
At 10:00 AM, you will be able to take the AirTrain directly from the terminals to Jamaica. If you were traveling between 9:00 PM and 7:00 AM, you would have to take a shuttle bus from the terminals to Federal Circle, and then board the AirTrain at Federal Circle for the ride to Jamaica.
