How can I get to Grand Central Station in Manhattan?
I'm going to arrive at JFK International Airport next Sunday, and I should get to the Grand Central Station from the airport to take a train to Conneticut. I wonder whether the Airtrain goes to the station or not. And, is there any other way I can get to the station? Or is this the only way? I should arrive at the station as soon as possible.
AirTrain does not go direct
AirTrain does not go direct to GCS but will take you to the subway; take AirTrain on track 1 to Jamaica Station, transfer to the inbound E subway to Lexington/53rd St, transfer to the downtown #6 subway for one stop to 42nd St/Grand Central. Allow at least one hour travel time and cost is $7.25 including AirTrain. You can also take the NYAirports bus from terminal to GCS, also allow one hour, cost is $15.
