getting from JFK to Manhatten
I will be arriving at JFK via Jet Blue on December 11th at 8:40am and need to be in Manhatten by noon. Public transportation (underground) seems like the quickest given traffic at that time of year. I've read on line that a bus is not necessary and you can walk to the commuter rail (200 ft) from the Airtrans stop. Is this correct? I will not be carrying any luggage.
You can take AirTrain on
You can take AirTrain on track 1 from your terminal to Jamaica Station, from there you have a few alternatives depending on where in Manhattan you are heading; E subway to midtown (west along 53rd St and then down 8th Ave to lower Manhattan-World Trade Ctr), J subway to lower Manhattan and LIRR to Penn Station (33rd St/7th & 8th Aves).

Take AirTrain on 3rd floor of T4 to Jamaica Station, transfer to the E subway to Roosevelt Ave/Jackson Hgts, transfer to the inbound #7 subway to 33rd St/Rawson St. Walk 1/2 block to Queens Blvd and turn right, go about five blocks to the hotel.

Take JFK AirTrain from your terminal to Jamaica Station, transfer to LIRR to Penn Station, transfer to NJ Transit-Northeast Corridor train to Newark Airport Station, take Newark Airport AirTrain to any terminal and catch the hotel shuttle.

Taxi from JFK will take you direct to the hotel, probably around $30-$35. By subway; take AirTrain from your terminal to Jamaica Station, take E subway to Roosevelt Ave/Jackson Hts and transfer to the inbound #7 subway to 33rd St/Rawson, cost for AirTrain/subway is $7.25.

Transportation from JKF Plaza Hotel to Manhanttan The Big Apple
My husband and brother in law need transportation instructions on how to get to Manhattan from the JKF Plaza hotel.
Mary, tienes varias
Mary, tienes varias opciones, pero siendo 2 personas las que viajan, lo mejor es tomarse un taxi directamente, ya que es poco lo que van a ahorrar llendo en bus y vas a perder un par de horas de tiempo, el taxi no llega a 50 dolares y el bus creo son 15 por persona, tienes que pactar o aclarar lo que te van a cobrar en el taxi, siempre estan los vivos que se aprovechan de los recien bajados.
Mary, you have several options, but still 2 people that travel, it is best to take a taxi directly, since there is little that will save on bus and you're going to lose a couple of hours of time, the taxi does not reach $ 50 bus and I are 15 per person, you have to agree upon or clarify what they will charge you in the taxi, the living are always taking advantage of the newly lowered.
transport to Lower Manhatten
I am landing at JFK on Sunday and wondering the best way to get to Maiden Lane in Lower Manhatten
Taxi is direct, flat rate
