I'm arriving at JFK Airport
I'm arriving at JFK Airport thursday, at 16.05 pm . How can I get to the 141 Wilson Ave. # 3 R, Brooklyn NY 11237? What is better and easier for a foreingner among LIRR or subway?
Taxi will take you direct,
Taxi will take you direct, fare is about $35-40. Airtrain/Subway is the cheapest ($7.25) but requires a a transfer to get to the closest stop to your location. Take Airtrain from your terminal to Jamaica Station, take the Manhattan-bound J subway to Myrtle Ave., transfer to the Middle Village-bound (not towards Manhattan) M subway one stop to Central Ave. Walk towards Central Ave. and then another block west on either Hart St. or Suydam St. to Wilson Ave. and turn left.
T-1 to T-4
How long to get from T1-T4..an quest way
Take Airtrain, any train on
Take Airtrain, any train on track 1 from T1 to T4, only takes a few minutes.
New Brunswick, NJ from/to JFK
Hi: We're arriving at JFK prob. Terminal 5 (JetBlue). What should be best/cheapest way to goto New Brunswick, NJ? And We've a returning flight from JFK at 8:39am, how should we plan to leave from New Brunswick that AM? Is rental car better? Thanks!
You'll have more control
You'll have more control over your schedule with a rental car. Cheapest route is by train; Airtrain from terminal to Jamaica Station, either E subway or LIRR to Penn Station and NJ Transit to New Brunswick (approx. $25 total). Allow about three hours for train travel time, train transfers, etc. and be at JFK two hours before your return departure. See www.njtransit.com for train schedules and fares. If using a rental car be sure to arrive at JFK rental car return by 6am so you can be at your terminal by 6:30am. Allow at least 1.5 hours driving time. Rental cars are located at the Federal Circle stop on Airtrain, only takes about 10 minutes from there to terminal 5.
Ground Transportation
Does anyone know how far is the Ground Transportation desk from the arrival of the Aeroflot on terminal 1? I have someone who doesn't speak the language and has to be picked up from Ground Tr, so need to know how they would find it. Is it close/far?
It is very close - as soon
It is very close - as soon as they exit customs is to the left hand side(next to the Hotel Reservation desk).

Traveling to NYC
Hi, A group of 4 people will travel to NY next Sunday 12th. I want to know if taking Air Train from JFK terminal 8 until Howard Beach station to take subway A until Fulton St could be a good idea ?? Then we should transfer in Fulton St subway 6 (green) until 28 st where we need to go to.
Please advise we appreciate.
Regards,
Good idea however you can
Good idea however you can only get the #4 or #5 subway at Fulton St, the #6 originates at Chambers St. At Fulton St. transfer from the A to either the #4 or #5 to 14th St. and transfer to the #6 to 28th St.
JFK to manhatan
I'm arriving at JFK Airport Sunday, at 7.00 am . How can I get to the 871 7th Ave at 55th St? What is better and easier for a foreingner among LIRR or subway?
Thank you!
Subway will get you closer
Subway will get you closer to your destination, as LIRR will only take you to Penn Station at 34th St. Take Airtrain from your terminal to Jamaica Station, then E subway to 7th Ave. (50th St.). Walk five short blocks north on 7th Ave. to 55th St.
From JFK to 7th Avenue
Considering Oct,11th - at 09:00 AM,
What is the estimated time from JFK to 7th Ave, (50th St.) using AirTrain and E subway ?
And by taxi ?
