I want to go from JFK to W 63rd St/Brodway near Columbus Circle. What connection is the best and how long will it take me to get there?

The easiest way is to take the AirTrain to Howard Beach, and then board a Manhattan-bound "A" subway to Columbus Circle station.

The alternative -- which will probably be a few minutes faster but will involve an additional transfer -- is to take the AirTrain to Jamaica, and then board a Manhattan-bound "E" subway. At Seventh Avenue/53rd Street station, transfer from the "E" to an uptown "B" or "D" subway (on the lower level of the station) for the one-stop ride to Columbus Circle.

AirTrain and "A" subway should take a little over one hour; AirTrain and "E" subway, with a transfer to the "B" or "D" at Seventh Avenue station, should take just under an hour.

can someone give me detailed directions on how to get from JFK Airtrian to brooklyn, thanks

Brooklyn is a very big place. Tell us where in Brooklyn you want to go, and we can better assist you.

I need to get from terminal 3 to Lefferts Blvd on Liberty ave. I assume the route would be - Airtrain to Howard beach - A train up to Rockaway blvd, then change to Lefferts blvd branch. Is this correct?

Taking the Q10 (or Q10 Limited) bus from Terminal 4 -- as suggested by B2G -- will not only be cheaper than the AirTrain/subway combination, but it will almost certainly be faster. From Terminal 4 to Lefferts and Liberty, the trip time is about 25 minutes, and the buses run frequently. You can get from Terminal 3 to Terminal 4 for free by riding a Jamaica- or Howard Beach-bound AirTrain one stop. (There is no charge for AirTrain travel wholly within the airport.)

Yes by AirTrain/subway ($7.25)or you can take the Q10 bus from T4 to Lefferts Blvd for $2.25.

How can I go from PEN station to the airport using the Air tram? What will be the route and the cost?

Take AirTrain on track 1 from terminal to Jamaica Station, transfer to LIRR or E subway to Penn Station. AirTrain fare is $5, LIRR fare is $6.75/$8.25 but faster than subway which costs $2.25.

Hi!

How can we go från JFK to Sheraton Lincoln Harbor Hotel in New Jersey in an easy way?

Thank you!

Kind regards
Mia

hey I will be arriving On October 7th at Terminal 7 with BA, and would like to go to Astoria, what traing do i need to take??? thank you

Where in Astoria?

Astoria is in Queens, New York.

The questions was not, "Where *is* Astoria?"; the question was, "Where *in* Astoria?" In order to give the best directions, one needs to know what part of Astoria the inquiring poster is headed to. ;)

Hi, I am traveling from JFK to W 35th ST. on Oct 6th. It looks like the Airtrain would be a good option. Any suggestions for the best route to follow?
Cheers!
