JFK to Van Dam St, Long Island City 11101
Hi!
Iʻm from Hawaii and visiting New York City for the first time! How do I get from JFK to Van Dam Street in Long Island city using the subway?
AirTrain to Jamaica Station.
AirTrain to Jamaica Station. Then, Manhattan-bound "E" train to Roosevelt Avenue/Jackson Heights, and transfer to a Manhattan-bound #7 train to 33rd Street/Queens Boulevard. If you want to avoid taking two subways, you can instead take a Manhattan-bound Q-60 bus from Jamaica Station to 33rd Street, but the bus ride will take longer.
Note that if your particular destination on Van Dam Street is not close to Queens Boulevard, you might have a long walk (or short taxi ride) to get there. Map the location on www.mapquest.com to see how far it is from Queens Boulevard.

D train to Seventh Avenue
D train to Seventh Avenue station in Manhattan; then, Queens-bound E train on the lower level to Sutphin/Archer/JFK station. AirTrain from there to your terminal. There is normal AirTrain service until 9:00 PM nightly.
Caution: on weekday afternoons, some E trains run along the F line in Queens. Make sure you board an E train whose destination sign reads "Jamaica Center," or "Parsons/Archer."
Best way to go from JFK airport to Wall Street
Allo,
I'm landind at JFK airport and I want to get to Wall Street, do you know which is the best way to get there? Do I have to use train only or subway?
thanks in advance
You will need to take the
You will need to take the subway to reach Manhattan. Take a "Howard Beach" AirTrain from your terminal to the last stop. At Howard Beach station, take a Manhattan-bound "A" train to "Fulton Street"; Wall Street is a short walk from there.
There is also a slightly less expensive option: From JFK Terminal 4, you can take a Q-10 or Q-10 Limited bus to Lefferts Boulevard and Liberty Avenue, and board the "A" train to Manhattan from there. This route will likely take a little longer than the AirTrain/subway combination.

Hi, I would like to ask you, if the Airtrain is operating 24 hours? We´ll arrive to JFK at 2:00am on saturaday 17th September and we need to get to penn station about at 6:30am, how is the best way to get there? Thank you for reponse

AirTrain is scheduled to
AirTrain is scheduled to resume 24-hour service before the end of August, so yes, you should be able to ride the AirTrain at 2:00 AM in September. Take a Jamaica-bound AirTrain to Jamaica Station. From there, you can take the Long Island Rail Road at 3:08 AM to Penn Station (select the "City Ticket" option at the ticket vending machine to get the discounted $3.75 weekend fare); or you can take a Manhattan-bound "E" subway from Jamaica to Penn Station for $2.25 per person if you purchase a Metrocard, or $2.50/person if you purchase a single-ride ticket. At that hour of the morning, there should be a subway train every 20-25 minutes, but I would recommend taking the Long Island Rail Road instead, if you can catch the 3:08 AM departure.
Air Train reliable?
I need to take the Airtrain this Thursday morning to make a 9:30 am flight. I know the service advisory says service to the Howard Beach stop resumes normal service after 7am. Has this been happening without delay? I don't want to arrive at 8am to find they haven't resumed running to Howard Beach. How quickly to they actually get that service back in order every morning?
