Where can I transfer from the A train (coming from JFK/Howard Beach) to the 4,5, or 6? How about the reverse: 4/5/6 to the A-train headed to Howard Beach/JFK? Carrying luggage!

Hi there

Can the location of the Federal Line station in relation to its street location be put on the webpage - Not sure if people can get on and off and outside the station. Would be helpful for those who may be staying nearby the airport.

Thank you for your help with this

I will be arriving JFK on Royal Air Maroc (Terminal 1?), and have a connection on American (Terminal 8?). We will be coming in from Africa. Since Royal Air Maroc and American are not partners, will we need to claim our bags then go to Terminal 8 ticket counter to check in for American flight or will bags be checked thru to final destination? Also what is quickest way to get from Terminal 1 to Terminal 8 for the connection?

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide
