E subway from Jamaica
E subway from Jamaica Station to Lexington/53rd and walk down to 48th St. is ok but not the best; a taxi will take you directly to the hotel, cost is $45+tolls+tip and certainly the safest.

re:JFK TO MANHATTAN
We need to know which airline are flying on to tell you which terminal you will be arriving at.
You do have to take Airtrain to Jamaica station and then either LIRR train or Subway E to Penn Station.

Which airline are you on?
Which airline are you on? Regardless, Airtrain stops at all terminals so take Airtrain to Jamaica Station and take either E subway or LIRR to Penn Station (33rd St. between 7th & 8th Aves.) and walk one block north and one block west to your destination. If you have luggage or bags take LIRR as trains have overhead racks and its faster and more comfortable than subway.

JFK to Penn Street
Hi, we arrive terminal 7 on Friday. We are staying at New Yorker Hotel opposite Penn Street. I understand we can take Air Train to Jamaica then LIRR to Penn Street.Could you please tell me if this is correct, where do we buy tickets and is it easy enough with a large case each? Thank you in advance.
re: staying at New Yorker Hotel opposite Penn Station
It is Penn Station , not Penn Street. And you are correct - Airtrain +LIRR is the best route to get there. Buy the tickets(Airtrain and LIRR) at Jamaica Station.

re:ARRIVE EMIARTES ON 19TH FROM DXB WITH CONNECTING FLIGHT TO S
Take Airtrain on the third floor to T8.
You do have to recheck your bags either at Emirates connecting flights counter at T4 or at AA counter at T8.
You can get a porter at T8(not all of them agree to go to other terminals, since they are not obliged).
