Hi i wiil be arriving to JFK from London at 1:40 pm terminal 7 and will take a connection from Termnal 5 on a jet blue flight leaving at 4:45 pm will i have enought time to claim my bags , customs and re check in at the jet blue counter and how do i get there

You have time. When you arrive at T7 follow signs to AirTrain, take train on track 2 to T5, only takes a few minutes and it's free.

Hi, what would be the best way to get from JFK airport to Union Square without a taxi or car?

Take AirTrain from terminal to Howard Beach Station, transfer to inbound A subway to Broadway Junction, transfer to inbound L subway to 14th St/Union Square.

I'm arriving Monday at 1:00 into JFK on Delta. Need to get to the LIRR Smithtown stop. Not sure what terminal Delta arrives into. Need to get bag. Where do I go? How long will it take?

Delta arrives terminal 2 or 3. Follow signs to baggage claim and then follow signs to AirTrain, take train on track 1 to Jamaica Station and then LIRR to Smithtown. You can purchase your AirTrain and LIRR fares on one ticket from the self service machine at the exit. AirTrain takes about 15 minutes and LIRR is about 1.25 hours with a train transfer at Huntington or Hicksville. See www.mta.info for schedules and fares.

How to get from terminal 4 to jetblue terminal?

Go to AirTrain on 3rd floor of T4, take any train on track 1 one stop to T5-Jet Blue.

What tickets (and where) do we have to buy if we are staying for 10 days? Can you please tell me how much approximately does this transfer to the city costs per person?

Thank you very much for your time and kindness.

We will be coming in for my doctor's appointment in the morning next Tuesday (14th) and leaving later that day...is there an easy way to get to 120 E. 56th Street from JFK or at least back to the airport from this address? I am very ill and cannot hop from bus to bus all day long, but we can only afford ONE cab ride to the doctor's office in the morning and will have to get back to the airport on our own. Would appreciate any input, thanks.

I am flying into JFK from London Heathrow.
How do i get to Hotel Metro
