Take Airtrain on track 1 to Jamaica Station, then subway E to Lexington Ave stop and then downtown bound subway line 6 for one stop to Grand Central.

whats the best and cheapest way to the domestic airport from Brooklyn on a sunday??? thanks.

I am arriving at terminal 4 on 6 Nov at 14h15 with flight EK 201 from Dubai. I have a connecting flight at 16h30 with US airlines to Phoenix, I believe this departure is at terminal 7. Will the 2 hours 15 minutes be adequate time to collect my luggage and check in for the connecting flight. What will be the easiest and quickest way to ensure I do not miss the conecting flight.

The time window should be enough for you to transfer. At T4, after passing the customs, go to the third floor and take any Airtrain on track 1 . The second stop would be T7.

what is the best way for a foreigner to get from JFK to the Trenton train station with an estimated arrival time of 3am Friday morning?

Airtrain, subway, LIRR, Amtrak run 24/7. Take Airtrain from your terminal to Jamaica Station, then take either E subway or LIRR to Penn Station. At Penn Station take NJ Transit or Amtrak-NE Corridor train to Trenton. Amtrak is $37 one-way and takes about one hour. NJ Transit is cheaper but takes longer, makes lots of stops on the way.

We are arriving with delta airlines to JFK airport and need to go to 8th Av. (Times Square station).
Can you please tell me which train/line do we have to take and price? Many thanks

Take Airtrain from terminal to Jamaica Station, then take E subway to 42nd St. Total cost of Airtrain and subway is $7.25 each way.

I am arriving at terminal 3 in few days. do i need ticket to travel to jamaica in airtrain from there since it says rides in JFK stations free?

You will purchase your Airtrain fare when you exit at Jamaica Station. No need for a ticket when you board at the terminal station.

Hi
Í land in JFK 27th october,19.40pm and would like to make my way to hyatt hotel secaucus.

A weeks holiday, would the metro card be valid, from the hotel, to and from manhattan throughout my stay?

Regards.

The pay-per-ride Metrocard is only valid on NYC subways/buses, PATH and Airtrain. NJ Transit has a separate fare system.

Can you please tell me the easiest way to travel by train from Syosset to JFK?

Take LIRR to Jamaica. Go upstairs to Airtrain ($5) which will take you to all terminals.
