long term parking to terminals
Can you tell me how easy it is to catch the airtran from long term parking to the terminals? I have had 4 total knee replacements and walking can be a problem if it is a far walk to the station to get the airtrain.
The station (Lefferts Blvd)
The station (Lefferts Blvd) is located close to long term parking, walking distance depends how far away you park. If you have handicapped stickers/placards for your car you can park in the short term lot near your terminal at the long term rate.
