3 adults travelling from
3 adults travelling from Sheraton Tribeca to JFK. Is it correct to take the A line subway from Canal St to Howard beach station and change for the A-train to Terminal 7?
How long will this take? Need to check in 16.45.
Do you know with the subway at Canal St A-line and changing at Howard beach station is it difficult with large bags, up/down stairs, through turnstyles?
Yes, take the Far
Yes, take the Far Rockaway-bound A subway to Howard Beach and transfer there to AirTrain to all terminals. Do not take the Lefferts Blvd-bound A subway as it will not stop at Howard Beach. You will need to negotiate stairs and turnstiles at the Canal St. station, there are escalators and elevators to AirTrain at Howard Beach. Travel time from Canal St. to Howard Beach is around 45 minutes, 15 minutes from Howard Beach to T7, AirTrain runs every 10 minutes. Subway is $2.25 and $5 for AirTrain. For the three of you consider taking a taxi; flat fare $45+tolls+tip for all of you, no stairs, no turnstiles.
Transportation
Arriving in JFK next week...I need to get to Penn Station. From the map it looks like I take AirTrain to the Jamaica Station. Then take the LIRR to Penn Station.
I want to confirm travel is correct. Also, how much does the LIRR cost to Penn Station?
Thanks in advance.
Mark
That is correct, AirTrain
That is correct, AirTrain fare is $5, LIRR fare is $8.75 peak/$6.25 off peak. You can also take the E subway ($2.25) from Jamaica to 34th St/Penn Station but will take twice as long as LIRR.

Directions & Fare From JFK to Brooklyn
I'll be arriving at JFK & need to know how often the Airtrain runs from JFK to Brooklyn, what terminal I need to board & what the fare will be.
AirTrain only runs from
AirTrain only runs from terminals to the transit centers at Howard Beach Station (A subway) and Jamaica Station (LIRR, E & J subways). Cost is $5 and you will take the train on track 1 to either transit center. Where in Brooklyn is your destination? You can reach various parts of Brooklyn from either transit center. LIRR runs along Atlantic Ave (stops at East New York and Nostrand Ave) to Atlantic Center at Atlantic & Flatbush Aves. where you can transfer to just about every major subway line, the A subway runs along Fulton St. to downtown Brooklyn, J subway runs along Broadway to Williamsburg.
JFK to Brooklyn
Thanks for the info B2G. I just discovered I will need to take care of some business in NYC before heading for Brooklyn. Would you happen to know what subway stations are closest to East 53rd & Madison in NYC and Sutter Ave in Brooklyn?
What's the street address on
What's the street address on Sutter Ave? It runs a ways eastbound from Brownsville, through East New York and into Queens. There a Sutter Ave. stop on the L subway at Van Sinderin Ave, or the Sutter Ave. stop on the #3 subway at Rutland Rd/E 98th St in Brownsville. From 53rd & Madison: for the #3 subway walk to Rockefeller Center and take the Coney Island-bound D subway to Atlantic Ave and transfer to the New Lots Ave-bound #3 to Sutter Ave. For the L subway take the same D subway as above to 14th St and transfer for the Canarsie-bound L subway to Sutter Ave. If you give me the street address I can narrow down the subway route for you.
