Hi!

How long does it take to go by subway and airtrain to jfk from Penn station?

KR Anna

About one hour by subway, a bit more $ but faster by LIRR; take Airtrain to Jamaica Station and E subway or LIRR to Penn Station.

Hello, will be flying in with KLM on the 24th. Want to travel to Mountain Lakes NJ by train. How do I get there?

thanks!

NJ Transit from Penn Station will get you there. To get to Penn Station from JFK, you can take the NYAS express bus from each terminal to Penn Station or Airtrain from terminal to Jamaica Station and LIRR or E subway to Penn Station. Some NJ Transit trains to Mountain Lakes require a transfer at Newark or Montclair. See www.njtransit.com for schedules and info.

I am going to be arriving into JFK on Monday at around 11pm, will I be able to get the air train at that time?
I will be wanting to head to Manhattan to a hostel, not sure which one yet.
If the trains are running at this time, how long would it take on public transport to get to Manhattan from the airport?

Airtrain and subways run 24/7. Travel time from terminal to Manhattan is about one hour, maybe more depending on your destination.

hey,
I'm gonna land in JFK airport.
I'll need the airTrain for 3 ways on the same day.
I know it cost 5$ for one way.
Is there a round trip ticket, or any cheaper way for 3 rides?
Where can i buy it?(Is it possible only when i'm off the train? or can I buy it even earlier at the airport?)

Thank you very much!!!

No discounts for multiple rides. When you arrive at Airtrain at either Jamaica or Howard Beach, or when you depart Airtrain at either location you can purchase a Metrocard from one of the self-service machines, put as much as you want on it and use the Metrocard to pay your Airtrain fare ech time.

Hi! I'm arriving on Oct. 8, 8:20PM at JFK airport. How do I get to Broadway Avenue along 96th street?

Taxi is flat rate $45+tolls+tip to anywhere in Manhattan. You can also take public transportation ($7.25); Airtrain to Howard Beach Station, Manhattan-bound A subway to 59th St., tranfer to the uptown/Bronx bound 1, 2 or 3 subway to 96th St. (at Broadway).

How to get Federal Circle BLDF.312 Jamaica from T1 Pls?

Go to Airtrain station at T1, take any train on track 1 to Federal Circle.

We arrive at JFK Wednesday at 4.30 pm . How can we get to the 4 West 31th Street?

Thank you!

Taxi is flat rate $45+tolls+tip to anywhere in Manhattan. By public transportation ($7.25) take Airtrain from your terminal to Jamaica Station, take E subway a few stops to Kew Gardens, transfer to the F subway to 34th St./Herald Square. You will be at 6th Ave., walk south and then bear left onto Broadway to 31st St. and turn left.
