Taxi will take you direct from JFK for flat rate $45+tolls+tip. You can also take public transportation ($7.25); Airtrain from terminal to Jamaica Station, transfer to E subway to Lexington Ave., walk south on Lexington to the hotel.

I am starting to work tomorrow and I know there is a station in the air train that its free but I am comfused. I think its the one near the parking. Can somebody comfirm it ???How does it works ???

The only two stations that are free( and they are outside of central terminal area) are Federal Circle and Lefferts Blvd. The second one is near the long term parking lot.

I will be arriving at JFK at 5pm on a Thursday. Need to know how to get to 7th ave and 39th st in Sunset Park. Thank you

Taxi will take you direct, cost around $50. By public transportation; take Airtrain from your terminal to Jamaica Station, take LIRR to Atlantic Terminal-Brooklyn (last stop), transfer to the D subway to 9th Ave (at 39th St.). Walk east two blocks on 39th St. to 7th Ave.

Hi everyone!
I need to know what are my options of transportation to go from JFK airport to La Guardia airport. Just with a little detail: I have to do this at 3:00 AM !!!! The only way would be a taxi? Anyone has some idea about the price of this ride?

Thanks a lot!

At that time only taxi will take you there - expect somewhere between $28-$35.

Hi. I'm arriving in from Dublin & just want to double-check that the Air Train going to Howard Beach / Jamaica will take me close to Blue Point, Long Island. It looks like it does but I would like to be confident before heading off. Many thanks. Mary

Thanks everybody. I'm clear now that I have to take Airtrain first & then take LIRR. Appreciate the clarifications. Mary

Blue Point is near Patchogue. Take Airtrain to Jamaica and then LIRR to Patchogue. A change of trains for the Montauk line at Babylon may be required.

Blue Point NY is no where near Jamaica Station. You're going to then have to get on the LIRR heading east from Jaimaica. I hope this helps.

Hello. I'm coming from Miami to New York, and I'm going to arrive on terminal 8, After that I have international flight and I must go to terminal 1. Please write me how to go from terminal 8 to terminal 1, how long is going to take me and how much it's cost.
Thank you.

Follow signs to Airtrain and take any train on track 2 from T8 to T1, takes about 10 minutes. No charge between terminals.

Hello.
