For $5.00/person, the AirTrain can take you to the Howard Beach subway station, where you can connect (for an additional $2.25) to the Manhattan-bound "A" subway, which can take you to Brooklyn.
There is also a local bus, the B-15, which travels from JFK Terminal 4 to Brooklyn. Bus fare is $2.25/person, with a free transfer to the subway (if needed) if you use a Metrocard to pay the bus fare.
Where in Brooklyn do you want to go?

Hi, and thanks for your reply. I eed to get to Lawrence Street. I kind of googled it and think that the nearest station is Jay St - Metrotech so will be most grateful if you can confirm this is correct and also the easiest way of getting there. Thankyou
There is a "Lawrence Street"
There is a "Lawrence Street" stop on the "R" train, but coming from the airport, you would take the "A" train to Jay Street. Take AirTrain to Howard Beach station; then board a Manhattan-bound "A" train for the 30-minute ride to Jay Street.

if in the city, which train station should i be looking in the area of, for hotels.
dont want to be carrying luggage too far thru the streets or be looking for extra large taxis
You have very little
You have very little time.
Get your luggage to a hotel near JFK.
Then get the hotel's shuttle back to the airport to take the AIRTrain to Jamaica Station (NOT Howard BEach).
Take the E train at Jamaica Station to Manhattan OR take the Long Island Railroad at Jamaica Station. Both get you to Manhattan.
If you insist on staying in Manhattan, the E train is still good. There is a Sheraton hotel near the 53rd St./ 7th Avenue E train stop.
