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. ;)
travel on Oct 6th-9th
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!
Take AirTrain to Jamaica
Take AirTrain to Jamaica Station and transfer to either E subway to 34th St/Penn Station or LIRR (faster but more expensive) to Penn Station, walk two blocks north to W. 35th St. Depending on your location address it could be anywhere between 5th Ave and continue 12th Ave.

How do I get from the free hotel shuttles to terminal 4 ?
JFK to 121 West 28th street
Hi there. arriving at JFK on Thursday morning. What would be the correct train connections from JFK to final destination (121 West 28th street - zip 10001)?
Thank you in advance
Take AirTrain on track 1
Take AirTrain on track 1 from terminal to Jamaica Station, transfer to E subway to 42nd St, transfer to downtown #1 subway to 28th St and walk east about a 1/2 block, OR take LIRR from Jamaica to Penn Station and walk down 7th Ave about four short blocks to 28th St and turn left.
AirTrain to Jamaica Station.
AirTrain to Jamaica Station. Then, Manhattan-bound "E" subway to Queens Plaza station. Transfer to a Manhattan-bound "R" subway (on the adjacent local track). Take the "R" to 28th Street/Broadway station. Walk west on 28th Street to your destination, which should be just a block or two away from the subway station.
Note: If getting a seat on the "R" train is important to you, then consider transferring to the "R" at Continental Avenue/Forest Hills station, instead of at Queens Plaza. This can add about 15 minutes to your travel time since the "R" runs local and the "E" runs express, but since the "R" begins its run at Continental Avenue, you are virtually guaranteed getting a seat if you make the transfer there.
You should be able to obtain a free subway map at the Ground Transportation/Information desk in your terminal at JFK, or at the subway booth at Jamaica, just before you pass through the turnstiles. And at 28th Street station in Manhattan, the subway booth attendant should be able to provide you with a free Manhattan bus map.
