I will need a wheelchair to transfer from terminal 3 to terminal 4. How do I arrange for that?
I'm traveling by delta connecton to JFK, arriving at 9:30 PM, Monday April 4 and connecting to Avianca at 12:55AM April 5

Your advice is appreciated

Hi. I need to know whether the stations for the "Airline Terminal route" are inside the secured area or in the public area. Thanks

They are in the public area. They are the same stations used by Howard Beach and Jamaic trains.

I am traveling in from the West Coast on Delta Airlines on Monday the 25th of April, arriving into JFK at 5:44 AM. I will be traveling to Penn Station to catch the Northbound Amtrak Adirondack which leaves at 8:15 AM and desire to take the AirTrain/LIRR route.

I am curious to know how long it generally takes for you to collect your baggage and walk to the nearest AirTrain station for Jamaica Station? Also, how does one get to the AirTrain station from the baggage carousels for a Delta flight? I think I have enough time to make the journey from JFK to Penn for my train, but I am still a little nervous!

Hi! I'm connecting from BA to AA flights. How do I get from Terminal 7 to Terminal 8 and how much time do I need? Thanks in advance!

Hi, we are going to spend 5 days in NY, in an hotel situated close to Times Square. What will be the best thing for us to do? Go by subway? Shuttle bus? Taxi? Buy a card for the subway?..

Call subway authorities please.

Hello,
I'd like to know how long before the flight should we be in the airport, if it is a stop over. We have 5 hours stop over in JFK, and we thought we could visit NY for an hour or two.
Thank you very much

Arriving at Terminal 7 at 1:15pm. Departing Terminal 1 at 4:45 on Turkish Air. Which train would I catch and how long will it take for me to go from 1 to 7. I believe I will also have to check in at TK and go through security again. Is an hour and a half enough time to do all of this and make it to my flight on time?
