How do I get from JFK to the Howard Johnson Hotel Long Island City ?

Hi, we are arriving on friday evening from Germany and need to get to the Sofitel 45 West 44th Street. Can you give an advice for the train route?
Thanks in advance.

Take Airtrain from your terminal to Jamaica Station, transfer to E subway. At any station between Forest Hill and Jackson Hgts. transfer to the F subway. Take the F to 42nd St./5th Ave. Walk north two blocks on either 5th or 6th Aves. to 44th St., hotel is between 5th & 6th Aves.

Arriving in JFK Sept2010 on a Sunday morning. Accomodation at Embassy Suites at Secaucas. Please advice the best way to get to Secaucas. By train? or by shuttle? ?bus

Airtrain across the street - take it on track 1 and get off very next stop.

We are coming into JFK on Jet Blue on Sunday Aug 8. If we choose not to get a cab, how do I get from JFK to 34west and 17st.

I guess the right address is 39 West 17th Street.
Take Airtrain to Jamaica station,Subway E to Roosevelt Ave, subway F to W14 street. You will be three blocks away from your final address.Walk north on 6th Ave and make right on W17th street.

Hi, we are arriving on friday evening from Germany and need to get to the Sofitel 45 West 44th Street. Can you give an advice for the train route? And are there Group Shuttle Busses available too, or only Taxis? Thanks in advance, Matt

Hi jfk, i arrive next friday at 24:06 hrs,
what options do i have at that time.. i want to go to hasting hudson??? thanks!

Metro North RR-Hudson line stops at Hastings-on-Hudson, trains depart from Grand Central Terminal. At that time of night you're only options are taxi (flat rate $45+tolls+tip) or Airtrain to Jamaica Station, E subway to 53rd St, transfer to the downtown #6 subway to Grand Central. I'd take a taxi so late at night. Metro North-Hudson has trains every hour or so late nights.

hi!
we'll arrive on 5th september 2010 at 10:35 pm and have to get to howard beach station. will the train still drive at this time?
thank you in advance for your reply.
best regards
carina

Hi Carina,
The Airtrain works non stop.
