You can take either E subway
You can take either E subway or LIRR (faster than subway, a bit more expensive) from Penn Station to Jamaica and then Airtrain from there to all terminals. Airtrain/subway is $7.25 and Airtrain/LIRR is $10.25 off peak, $13 peak. There's also the NYAS express bus from Penn Station to all JFK terminals ($13).

Air Tran/LIRR Question
We are arriving at JFK at 9:07 am. We are trying to find the best way to get to westhampton without costing us a lot. It looks like we can take the air tran from JFK to Jamaica Station to catch the LIRR to Westhampton for a 11:33 departure. Can you please advise me if this is the best, most inexpensive way to get there? Also, is a 9:07am arrival at JFK to catch the LIRR for a 11:33am departure feasible? Thank you for any help!
This is definitely the best
This is definitely the best and cheapest, LIRR fare is $14.25 off-peak plus $5 Airtrain fare. It will only take you 15 minutes to get from your terminal to Jamaica Station on the Airtrain and a few minutes to purchase your ticket so you're ok even if you get to the station 15-20 minutes before departure. You can purchase your Airtrain and LIRR fares on the same ticket at Jamaica Station on the self-service machines. Just follow the instrutions on the machine, it's pretty easy, and there are nice folks there to help you.

Air Tran to LI
We are getting in Jfk at 7:30pm on a Thurs and want a good , safe way to get to North Port, LI and do not know the area. Is Air Tran and good option?
re:Air Tran to LI
Yes, take AirTrain to Jamaica Station and then LIRR train to Northport(Port Jefferson Branch).
The Airtrain to Jamaica will cost you $5 and it takes ~20min. LIRR to Northport leaves aprox. every 2 hours and costs ~$9. It takes 1 hour to get there.

Aug 28th
We arrive at JFK Aug 28th around 1pm we have little over 8 1/2 layover for our next flight which is international. We are thinking about getting a locker and placing our carry on baggage in. We what to take airtran to Jamaica station then get the Subway e line to the Empire state Building since it was in the clouds when we were in NYC in April. So does the directions sounds correct in how we want to travel ? also what all will we need to re-enter the Airport ? Our boarding passes, ID's ?
re: arrive at JFK Aug 28th around 1pm we have little over 8 1/2
You have to get off subway E to connect with M(which will bring you closer to Empire State building) - it is convenient to do so at 5Ave/53rd street stop. There take subway M bound to downtown and get off at 34th street/Herald Square stop.
Take the same route back(M->E->Airtrain).
To re-enter the Airport(or exactly - to board your plane) you will need a boarding pass and form of picture ID.
