And the 1-1.5 hour is time by travleing with the express train ?? or local?

I arrive from DUBAI to T4 on May 13th and my connection flight to washington is with United Airline on T7 how should i go from T4 to T7 by airtrain

Take any Airtrain on Track 1 from T4 to T7. Only takes a few minutes.

hi,

I am going to reach JFK airport at 5.00 A.M. Then i have a connecting flight at 4.00 pm. I want to visit time square between this duration. Please let me know is it possible and if yes then how by public transportation...........
Thanks for your answer.

You would be able to do that.
Take Airtrain from any terminal on track 1 to Jamaica Station( be careful - on that track there are two alternating trains going to different routes; check the sign above the doors as the train arrives; the red colored sign is Jamaica one). Then take subway line E to 42nd street stop. Cost-$7.25/passenger.

I will be reaching JFK at 7:30am and need to take a bus from grand street station for Boston. How do i reach grand street station from JFK via the shuttle?Is there a better route(economical)

Take NYAS(express bus) to Grand Central . It leaves in front of the terminal every 20 min.;cost $15/person. More economical way($7.25/person) is by public transportation but involves 2 transfers(Airtrain->subway E->subway 6).

I will be arriving on a Sun Country flight at JFK Terminal 4 and I have to get to baggage claim at terminal 3. What is the best way to get there by the Airtrain? Where do I get on/off the Airtrain and what level are baggage claims found at both Terminal 3 & 4.

Thanks

Connie VanderPoel

Domestic baggage claim at T4 is located on the first floor. Take escalator or elevator to the third floor and take Airtrain on track 2; get off next stop, cross over to Delta building and go to the first floor - area D. That is where Delta domestic baggage claim is.

Hey what is the best way to get to Best Western Plaza Hotel New York City 3934 21st Street New York 11101 from JFK at 4 PM monday the 17:th? I figure the airtrain to Jaimaica and then a subway towards queens?

From Jamaica take subway E and transfer at Roosevelt Ave to subway F(going the same direction). Get off at 21st street stop.Walk north block and a half on 21st street - your hotel is located between 40th Ave and 39th Ave.

Hello, Can you give me the easiest way, by public tansport, to Wayne New Jersey. We are arriving at JFK.
Thank you

Take Airtrain from your terminal to Jamaica station.
Bus: take E subway from Jamaica to 42nd St./Port Authority station and take the NJ Transit bus.
Train: take E subway or LIRR from Jamaica to Penn Station and take the NJ Transit train. You can also take the NYAS bus from your terminal to either Port Authority or Penn Station. See the NJ Transit website for info.
