Take Airtrain from terminal to Jamaica Station, then E subway to Queens Plaza. Walk on Queens Plaza East (it will become Northern Blvd.) and follow to 40th Ave, turn left.

I'll arrive JFK at 3.45 pm sep 25 so how can i get to 115 mulberry&canal by train?

I am arriving to JFK from moscow at 17:00 and have to connect with DELTA terminal 3 to tampa FL at 19.30. Would like to know how much time takes between terminal 1 and 3 if its enough time for the connection and where to take the airtrain.Thanks.

It takes only 10-15 minutes to transfer between T1 and T3. Take Airtrain on the third floor of T1, on track 1 and next stop is T3.
You have time to transfer assuming that Aeroflot is on time(Aeroflot is famous of being late).

Hello,
1- I'm arriving from international flight at Terminal 1, after I'm done with customs and baggage, How do I get to the AirTrain area?
2- I read here terms like Terminal 1, track 1 so how does the track system works?
3- how do I get to Federal Circle to connect with my hotel shuttle?
4- The next day I have a domestic flight on JetBlue, does the hotel shuttle drop me off directly at the airline gate so I don't need to use the AirTrain?

plz help! I'm freaking out about getting lost cuz im bad with directions, thanks in advance :*

What is the best way to get to Manhattan. I'm headed towards the East Village.

Easiest and most direct is by taxi, cost is $45+tolls+tip. You can also take public transportation; Airtrain from terminal to Howard Beach Station, transfer to the inbound A subway. At Broadway Junction transfer to the inbound L subway to 1st Ave. which will put you at the north end of the East Village. You can also stay on the A to W. 4th St. and walk east crosstown on 4th St. to the EV.

I am flying in to JFK about noon tomorrow and need to get to Freeport, returning from there Sunday to fly out. How will I know which train, where and how much?
(my 1st visit to NY!)

Take Airtrain to Jamaica Station and then the LIRR Babylon line train to Freeport. Airtrain fare is $5, $5.75 off-peak on LIRR.

Does anyone know about how long it should take to get from Penn Station to JFK using the subway and airtrain mid-day tomorrow?

I am arriving at JFK at 7:40 am and need to be in Newark for a flight out at 2:00 pm. Is this enough time to collect luggage and go through customs at both ends (coming from Africa, going into Canada)? How long duration is trip from JFK to Newark?

You have plenty of time to do so.
Assume you will be out of customs at JFK by 9:00am, the trip between JFK and EWR is no more than 2-3 hours, you will be at EWR by noon.

I am arriving at midnight at terminal 4. How do I get to Federal Circle to connect with my hotel shuttle? Is there going to be a cost?

Use Airtrain on track 1 - there is no cost for that ride.
