Board the A line subway at 34th St.: $2
Transfer to the AirTrain at Howard Beach: $5
You will probably need to transfer A lines at Euclid Av.
You want to continue in same direction; ultimate subway (not you) destination is Far Rockaway.
You should buy a $7 card at 34th st station.

Hello,

I will arrive at JFK next monday at 2:00pm and need to travel to the Sunset Park Area - 45 st. Is it possible to take the subway? What would be the best connection?

Thanks a lot in advance!
Cheers!

If you mean Sunset Park in Brooklyn NY:
The R line (yellow) has a station at 45th and 4th very near Sunset. The D and M subway lines are also nearby and there is a transfer station between them all at 36th St. (or you could walk from there). I always take the AirTrain to the A line subway @ Howard Beach Station: $5 Airtrain, $2 subway fare. You will have to transfer from the A line to the other lines.

I do not know the best transfers. Check out the links.
Possibly: the A line to the F line at Jay St - Boro Hall; F line to R line at 4th Av- 9th St.

At JFK take the Airtrain to Howard Beach A train/subway station. Take the Manhattan bound A train. In about 50 min you'll reach the 14th street station on 8th Avenue in Manhattan, get off. There you can transfer to local train C or E if you need to go northbound.
