Airtrain or Taxi
I'm arriving tomorrow with mother-in-law and daughter in tow. Ultimate destination is Omnni Berkshire, and I see I can taxi from Grand Central. Is the airtrain a good option to Grand Central? Or should I stick to a taxi, which seems easier?
re:arriving tomorrow with mother-in-law and daughter in tow
If you have luggage I will suggest you taxi. It is flat $50.50 +tip to any point in the city for the whole cab.
Airtrain to Jamaica + subway E to Lexington is another option. The hotel is 2 blocks away from Lexington/53rd street stop.

Question
Can I get to Columbus circle through Howard beach (line A) easier than through Jamaica Station (line E)?
re:Can I get to Columbus circle through Howard beach (line A)
