Yes it is and the cheapest!
Yes it is and the cheapest! Not bad of a ride as I do the same from Brooklyn to JFK.
Travel into New York City on a 6 hour layover
Hoping to find out if a 6hr 50min layover is long enough to travel into Times Square and be back for an international flight?
If so, what is the fastest way to get there and back?
Thank-you!
Fastest way is to get yellow
Fastest way is to get yellow cab(flat $50.50)- for about 40-50 mins. You can also use NY Airporter express bus - it takes around 50mins to 1hr to get there for about $16 per passenger.

Transfers between terminals?
Can a NY local please confirm if 1 of the trains on the Airtrain network at JFK goes in the opposite direction to the other? Need to transfer from Terminal 4 to Terminal 3 and don't want to go the whole way round if I can help it? Many thanks!
That is exactly what happens
That is exactly what happens at the following stops-T1,T2/T3,T4,T5/T6,T7 and T8 - the trains on track 1 are moving in opposite direction to the trains on track 2.
For you to get from T4 to T3, you have to take the train on track 2 ONLY.
