Hi all!
I´m from Brazil and i´ll be at JFK on the 09/18/2010 at 16pm (American Airlines).
I don´t know which terminal I will arrive yet, but I need know how to get to 401, 7th Avenue. Could you help me???

Oi, If you want to get to mid town NY (centro do cidade) then take the Air train outside your terminal to Jamaica. Then in Jamaica take the Long Island Rail Road to Penn station New york. This is 34th street, you can walk to 401 7th ave from there.

i shall arrive jfk terminal 4 from new delhi at 6am on 27 august and shall take a connecting american airlines flight to cleveland from terminal 8 at 330pm the same day. can i check in my baggage with american airlines at 6am or do i have to wait till the afternoon?

You can check in your bags with AA any time after 3am as long as the flight is on the same day.

I SHALL ARRIVE AT TERMINAL-4 AND THEN TAKE ANOTHER FLIGHT FROM TERMINAL -8.HOW DO I KNOW WHICH AIR-TRAIN G SHOULD TAKE?

All the trains that stop at T4 go to T8 - take any.
T8 is three stops away either way.

I am coming into grand central, going to Penn station. I need to be at Kennedy by 230 pm. How do I get from Penn Station to the airport and how long will it take?

It looks like I take the Long Island Railroad. What do I ask for? And it appears I do not arrive at Kennedy directly. Please help. Thanks.

From Grand Central there is a NYAS express bus to JFK. You can also take the uptown #6 subway one stop to 51st St. and transfer to the E subway to Sutphin Blvd./JFK. Then take Airtrain to from there to your terminal. If you decide to go to Penn Station the LIRR will take you to Jamaica Station and the Airtrain as above.

We will arrive at JFK - 4 and have to go to Port Autority 42st or to 42st/7th Av.
What is the best way in evening by public transport. How long does it take ?

Take Airtrain from your terminal to Jamaica Station and transfer to the E subway to 42nd St./Port Authority. Travel time is about 1 hour.

You could also take the AirTrain JFK to Sutphin Blvd/Jamaica Station. Then transfer to the Long Island Rail Road towards Penn Station. Make sure to buy your ticket for the Long Island Rail Road before you get on at a ticket machine.

AirTrain JFK: $5
LIRR: $5.75 OR $8, depending on the time of day.

You should take the JFK AirTrain to Sutphin Blvd/Jamaica Station. At Jamaica Station, transfer to the E train to Manhattan. Take the E train to Penn Station and get off at street level. When you get off at Penn Station, walk east on 34 street toward 7th avenue. Make a right on 7th Avenue and the address should be on the left side of the street.
The AirTrain is $5 and the Subway is $2.25.
