JFK to Queens
Im going to JFK next week and i want to know how is the cheapest/fastest way to go from JFK to Queens (Astoria BLVD and 31 street) Hope someone help me.
Take Airtrain from terminal
Take Airtrain from terminal to Jamaica Station, take E subway to Jackson Hgts/Roosevelt Ave. and transfer to the Manhattan-bound #7 subway. At Queensboro Plaza transfer to the Astoria-bound N subway and get off at Astoria Blvd. Total cost of Airtrain/subway is $7.25. Taxi is faster but will cost about $40.
Question
I'm traveling from JFK to Manhatten.
I plan to take the airtrain to jamaica station and then the E line subway to downtown. I know that the air train is $5, and needs to be paid with a single use metrocard. I also heard that the metrocard has free transfers. Will that single card work for the airtrain and subway too?

Train Use Question
So I fly into terminal 4 on Emirates at 2:15 pm early next week, and then I have a domestic flight going to Atlanta (terminal 3) at 8pm that same night. I am a gold member of Emirates and I would like to sit in their business lounge at terminal 4 for a few hours before heading to terminal 3. Can I use the air train to go between terminals 3 & 4 after I have gone through security or can you only use it before security? Thanks!

Easiest and cheapest is by
Easiest and cheapest is by LIRR. Take Airtrain from your terminal to Jamaica Station and LIRR to Mastic-Shirley. There's a train leaving Jamaica at 8:11am, the next train is not until 10:41am and both trains will require a transfer at Babylon to continue on the Montauk Branch to Mastic. Travel time from Jamaica is about 1.25 hours, Airtrain fare is $5 and LIRR is $11.

I would like to leave my car at JFK long term parking for about 8 hours. Can I then take the airtrain to howard beach and catch the A train into Manhattan? Which long term lots can I do this from?
how to get from terminal 8 to terminal 4 and how much time?
I arrive at 12:29pm at JFK terminal 8 and have to go through customs with light luggage. Then I have an interview at the terminal 4, IAT for the Global Entry Application.
What is the best way to get from terminal 8 to 4 and do I have enough time to do this? I do have someone picking me up at the airport by car so, if that is faster/more convenient, please, let me know as well.
