JFK to Fire Island (Pines)
Can you tell me how to get from JFK (Delta flight from DC) to Fire Island using public transportation system? How long should it take?
Thanks!
Take Airtrain from terminal
Take Airtrain from terminal to Jamaica Station and then LIRR to either Bay Shore, Sayville or Patchogue and then take a local taxi from the station to the ferry. Which station to get off at whill depend on what location on Fire Island you are going. For example for Fire Island Pines which is towards the middle you will get off at Sayville (taxi to Sayville Ferry Service), west locations get off at Bay Shore (taxi to Fire Island Ferries) and further east get off at Patchogue (taxi to Davis Park Ferry). From Jamaica its about 1 hour to Bay shore and about 1-1/2 hours to Patchogue and some trains will require a transfer at Babylon.
Air Train fare
..I understand that you pay $5 when you arrive at Howard B. or Jamaica S. to get to the Air Train. Do you pay another $5 on your return, if so where do you do it, on your way out of H.B. and J.S. to the subway?
When you take Airtrain from
When you take Airtrain from the terminals and exit at HB or JS you will purchase your $5 "exit" fare there. When you arrive at HS or JS going to the terminals you will pay your $5 "entry" fare there as well. If you have a pay-per-ride Metrocard you should be able to swipe that for your Airtrain fare.
GCS and JFK
Hello, Does the Air Train pick up / drop off at Grand Central Station? If not, what is the easiest way to get from Grand Central to JFK for a 9:00 am flight? Thank You!
re:GCS and JFK
Airtrain does not go to GSC - from GSC you have to take subway line 6(bound to uptown), get off next stop(Lex Ave/53str) and transfer to Jamaica bound subway E. Get off at Sutphin Blvd stop and take Airtrain from there to JFK terminals.

It doesn't. Depending on
It doesn't. Depending on what's easier for you:
1- From GC, take the Shuttle or 7 train to Times square, then the E going to Jamaica
or
1- From GC, take the 7 going to Flushing, and at Roosevelt ave station swtich to E
then
2- 2- switch to jfk air train in the 1st to last stop at Stuphin Blvd.
Allow at least an hour for the whole trip, good luck.
Airtrain only runs between
Airtrain only runs between terminals and to Howard Beach and Jamaica stations. From Grand Central you can take the NYAS express bus to your JFK terminal or by subway take the uptown #6 to 51st St., transfer to the E subway to the Sutphin Blvd./Archer Ave./JFK stop and take Airtrain to your terminal from there.
