Taxi is easiest but most expensive $45+tolls+tip. AirTrain/subway will cost $7.25; take AirTrain from terminal to Jamaica Station, transfer to inbound E subway to Lexington/53rd St, transfer to downtown #6 subway to 33rd St, walk 4 blocks north on Lexington to 37th St.

I would like to know which vehicle is more convenient to Culumbus circle. I will arrive on may 2 th, by American airlines at 10 am.
I have one small luggage, and i travel alone.
If I take a taxi, how much will cost from airport to 120 west 60 th street.

Thanks

Taxi is $45+tolls+tip. You can take AirTrain/subway for $7.25: take AirTrain from terminal to Jamaica Station, transfer to E subway to 50th St, transfer to uptown C subway one stop to 59th St/Columbus Circle.

I don't see anything stating how much time it takes to get from Jamaica station to JFK via the AirTrain. It's hard to plan without that important piece of information. Anyone know approx? Thanks.

About 15 minutes.

How can i go to JFK airport from Newark Airport? ANy public transportation/ airtrain that i can take?

Thanks!

Take Newark Airport AirTrain from terminal to train station. Take NJ Transit or Amtrak (more expensive than NJT) train to Penn Station. At Penn Station transfer to LIRR to Jamaica. Walk upstairs to JFK AirTrain to all terminals.

My wife and I will be arriving at JFK at around 3pm on April 27th(Wednesday) for a vacation. We will have 2 carry-ons and a large suitcase. Would you recommend taking the AirTrain and subway to W 48th St and 8th ave to save money or should we just take a cab? At that time of day would it be bad to take that luggage on the subway?

For two of you with luggage spend the money and take a cab, $45+tolls+tip. It will take you direct to your destination and no need to schlep your luggage on AirTrain or subway.

How do I get to JFK Airpt from Metropark, NJ train station
And how long will it take?

Take NJ Transit or Amtrak train to Penn Station, transfer to LIRR train to Jamaica, walk upstairs to AirTrain and take to terminals. Amtrak is faster, less stops, but more expensive than NJ Transit ($50 for Amtrak/$10 for NJT). Allow about two hours for travel time.

I am coming to New York 18th June. Do you know how I get from JFK airport to 30 East 30th Street at around 2.00pm. Also how do I get back from 30 East 30th Street to JFK airport at around 7.00pm on the 22nd June? Is it expensive? Thank you

Taxi to/from JFK/Manhattan is $45+tolls+tip and is most direct. The closest subway is the #6 line at 28th St/Park Ave S., then walk two short blocks north to 30th St. and 1/2 block west.
