Hello!
I arrive around lunchtime on 4th July 2010 at JFK airport in New York. I need to go to Port Authority Bus Terminal to catch a Bus that stops near Frenchwoods.
The route I figured out from the airport to the bus terminal is taking the AirTrain towards Howard Beach, that'll cost me $5 and then change on subway line A (end station Inwood 207 St) and leave at 42 St Port Authority Bus Terminal (I think I have to walk a bit...), that'll cost me $2.25.
Is that correct? And how long will the journey take me from the airport to the bus terminal?
Many thanks!
re: arrive around lunchtime on 4th July 2010 at JFK airport in
The route you choose is correct. Travel time is ~1hr:15min - 1hr:30min.

trip to the Met and back?
My family of five will arrive on Saturday at Terminal 5 on Jet Blue at 7am and leave at 6:30 for Australia at Terminal 7. Will we have time to drop our bags off at storage, go into Manhattan by the Airtrain/Subway route, see a show at the Metropolitan Museum, return by the same means to JFK, pick up our luggage and get through security to make our flight? If all this is feasible, is there any time saving advantage in storing our luggage at Terminal 1,4 or 8?
re: family of five will arrive on Saturday at Terminal 5 on Jet
You will have time to do that. Use the baggage storage at T4(access to Airtrain is easier there). Just remember that you have to be at the airport no later than 4pm for your 6:30pm flight.

Transferring Terminals and Security Lines
I've read a few pages of comments and can't seem to figure out if/when one is transferring terminals whether you will also need to go through security again. I know that to get from one terminal to the other, you take the AirTrain -- but is AirTrain behind the security lines, meaning once you're on it you don't have to go through security again?
I'm flying into JFK from LAX on United (landing in Terminal 7) but will be connecting a flight to Vienna, which will depart from Terminal 1. When leaving Terminal 7 for Terminal 1 via the AirTrain, will I have to go through security again in Terminal 1?
Airtrain is outside security
Airtrain is outside security and when a passenger transfers via Airtrain he/she has to clear security again.

Take Airtrain on track 1
Take Airtrain on track 1 from your terminal to Jamaica Station. Transfer to either the E subway ($7.25) or LIRR ($13-faster than subway and trains have overhead luggage racks) to Penn Station.

Hi.
For the guy at the "Newkirk" Station. Do you mean Q or B Train to Newkirk subway? If so, take the Q or B (only runs weekdays not weekends) TOWARDS MANHATTAN. Get off at the Atlantic Station Stop. Walk up to the Long Island Railroad and purchase a ticket from there to the Jamaica stop (tell the teller you are catching airtrain). Once you purchase you ticket, check the board to see the LIRR departure time. Take LIRR to Jamaica, jump on the AIRTRAIN and get to JFK.

re:booking taxi.
You have to be at the terminal 2-2.5 hours prior to departure time.
Get a local taxi from your area(look up for the phone number in Yellow pages or on the Internet)to JFK.

Please can you help me
Please can you help me understand how to get to 60 West 23rd St from JFK at 10pm on the 3rd July?
Taxi to anywhere in
Taxi to anywhere in Manhattan from JFK will cost $45+tolls+tip. Airtrain/subway will cost $7.25-take Airtrain from your terminal to Jamaica Station, take the E subway and transfer at any stop after Jamaica/Van Wyck or as far as Jackson Heights to the F subway to 23rd St. which is near 6th Ave. and your destination. If you continue on the E subway to 23rd St. the stop is on the west side and a long walk to where you want to go.
