Transfering from EWR
Hi!
I will be flying from NY to Richmond, but I will be getting to NY by train (NY Penn Station) Which is the best way to get to the airport? (Im travelling with 3 suitcases)Thks in adv.
Taxi is flat rate
Taxi is flat rate $45+tolls+tip. NYAS express bus from Penn Station to JFK is $15. You can take the E subway or LIRR to Jamaica and Airtrain from there to terminals but it would be tough with 3 suitcases!
How do I get to 79th St
How do I get to 79th St subway station and how long does it take from JFK with my big suitcase?
re:How do I get to 79th St subway station and how long does it t
Take Airtrain to Howard Beach Station and then Manhattan bound A train to Columbus Circle; there transfer to uptown bound subway line 1 and get off at 79th street stop. Traveling with big suitcase on the subway can be a bit uncomfortable. It will take you ~1:15 - 1:30 hrs to get there.

Int'l to Domestic Terminal Transfers
How long might it take to take AirTrain from Terminal 3 (domestic flight) to Int'l flight departing from Terminal 4 (seems AirTrain goes the other way)? Also, same for return coming off Int'l flight at Terminal 4 and departing domestic flight at Terminal 7?
re:How long might it take to take AirTrain from Terminal 3 (dome
From T3 to T4 take Airtrain on track 1; from T4 to T3 take Airtrain on track 2; In either case you have to get off next stop and the travel time is less than a minute.

Transfer from Terminal 4 to Terminal 8 at JFK
Hi
I am getting in to JFK at 0600hrs on Air India flt from Delhi. At 0825hrs I have connection on American airlines flt to DC. I have 2 and half hours to clear immigrations, customs and transfer from terminal 4 to terminal 8. How do I do this and which is the best way to transfer between terminals. Also is there away to get my baggage from Terminal 4 to 8 or would I have to take it with me on a luggage trolley? I will be having three bags.
re:Transfer from Terminal 4 to Terminal 8 at JFK
To transfer use Airtrain on the third floor of T4, on any track - T8 is three stops away.
Transfer the luggage at Air India connecting flights counter at T4.

Hello, I'm travelling
Hello, I'm travelling tomorrow from JFK to Valencia, Spain. I have to check-in at the Terminal 3 and then go to gate B20 (Terminal 4). Do I have to take the Airline Terminal route in clockwise direction or can I take the Howard Beach route in counterclockwise direction and stop in Terminal 4? Do I have to pay if I take the Howard Beach route in Terminal 3 and stop in Terminal 4?
Thank you!
