JFK to Northport
Hi,
I am flying in to JFK and need to get to Northport. Do I take the Air Train to Jamaica Station then LLIR to Northport? Will I need to buy a separate ticket for the Air Train and for the LLIR? How much will it cost?
Yes, take AirTrain to
Yes, take AirTrain to Jamaica Station and LIRR to Northport. AirTrain is $5 and LIRR to Northport is $6.50 off-peak, $9.25 peak. You can purchase a combination ticket at the LIRR self-service machine before you exit AirTrain at Jamaica which will have your AirTrain fare on a "Metrocard" on one side and the LIRR ticket on the other side. When you exit put the Metrocard side in the turnstile, it will return your ticket for you to retain for LIRR. Assistance is available at the AirTrain exit if needed. See mta.info for trip planning, schedules, fares, etc.

Connecting flight
This saterday we are flying from Brussels with AA171.
Normally we'll arrive at JFK at 12:40 PM T8
Our connecting flight AA133 to LAX is at 03:30 PM.
After immigration and customs, where do we have to go for our flight to LA. Is this in the same terminal and what floor to the gates.
Do we have time enough to go to the gate.
If there is a delay with the flight AA171 from Brussels (the weather is bad in Brussels for the moment)s and we miss our flight, how can we get another AA flight to LAX.
Thansk for your reply and help
After immigration and
After immigration and customs, you will most likely have to recheck your bags. Ask for directions to the gates; you may have to go through security again. AA is in terminal 8, which means you're arriving in terminal 8, and you will also depart from terminal 8. Don't worry about missing your flight; there are at least 5 flights every day just on American from JFK to LAX. Have fun!

Four of you can share the cost of a cab which will take you direct instead if messing with multiple transfers on public transportation.
