Hi - How do I get from JFK to the Hilton Garden Inn in Westbury, NY? Thank you.

Hello, I'm arriving in terminal 8 and switching airlines to terminal 3. Where is AirTrain located in Term 8 and how long does it take to get to terminal 3?
Thank you.

The Airtrain at T8 is located across the streets and upstairs or you can access the station on the second floor of the terminal. It takes less than 10 min to reach T3.

how do i get from jfk to west broadway blvd. in long beach?

Take Airtrain from JFK to Jamaica Station , then LIRR train to Long Beach. West Broadway Blvd is couple of blocks down on Edwards Blvd.

my sister is coming into jfk on united at 7:30 PM on 7/15. She is taking air train to LiRR at Jamaica to get to Huntington, NY. When she leaves terminal, what does she do and where does she buy LIRR ticket?

Follow the signs to Airtrain and take Airtrain on track 1 marked "Jamaica Station". At Jamaica Station there are self-service kiosks where she can purchase her LIRR fare to Huntington and Airtrain fare ($5.00) on the same ticket. One side of the ticket is for LIRR and the other side is a Metrocard with the $5 fare, she puts the Metrocard side in the exit gate, it will return her ticket to be used for LIRR. There are people at the Airtrain exit to help her if needed.

She will get the Airtrain to Jamaica Station, across the street and upstairs, on track 1.
Jamaica Station is the last stop and there she can buy tickets for LIRR train.
