I am flying to JFK on Delta and my friend is flying on Jet Blue. Will I be able to ride the airtrain from my terminal to Jet Blue terminal without reentering security? I want to meet her there before going to the taxi area.

Take any Airtrain on track 1 from Delta T3 to Jet Blue T5, you can meet her in the arrivals/baggage claim area.

need to park for six days and are flying jet blue. Where should I park my car? I have hadi-cap person traveling as well.

Terminal 5 parking lot.

i will be arriving into terminal 3 and will be looking to go to the bronx. how do i go about getting there the cheapiest way?

Cheapest is by Airtrain to subway ($7.25); take Airtrain on track 1 from terminal to Jamaica Station, transfer to E subway into Manhattan and transfer to whichever Bronx-bound Subway line will take you closest to your destination as multiple lines serve the Bronx. Check the MTA subway map for Bronx stations.

I arrive @ terminal 7 where do i go to catch the air train that will take me to Jamaica Station?

thanks!

i would like to take the airtrain from terminals 3 and im heading to richmond hill... can u explain to where and how can i go about getting the air train after im done with immigration?

Hello,

I will be staying in an Hotel located at Queens Boulevard 65-09, Queens.

What would be the easiest way to get there via public transportation from Terminal 7 of JFK airport?

Thanks in advance,
Aharon.

I arrive from Phoenix at 14 55 at terminal 3 and depart for Bermuda from terminal 8 at 17 .30. will I have sufficient time, allowing for luggage and customs etc to make this connection on sky train?

I'm arriving at terminal 8, and I have a 4 hour lay-over before my next flight, also at T8. When I get there, can I go to the shops at terminal 4 by AirTrain? What track is it, and how far is it?

Will arrive at terminal 8 at 12:35am and have to go to Manhattan. Want to know what is the last time of the Jamaica Station air train since I would like to take the Penn Station train. Txs

Hey I'll arrive at terminal 4 and need to go to Brooklyn with a big luggage. I just read that the B15 bus departure isn't anymore at terminal 4 but it changed to T5. Is it a walking distance or what other options could you give me to get to Franklin Ave... The luggage is 7ft*3ft*1,5ft...

Take the air train to Howard Beach and transfer to a Manhattan bound A train get off at Franklin Ave.

Hi JFK_S
Coming to JFK with a National rental car & flying from T-4.
Whats my best bet? Return car with wife & daughter, then take the AirTrain together to T-4 or drop them off at T-4 with baggage then drop off car myself & return to T-4 via AirTrain.
Thanks
