I would like to go to Durham, NH. I am planning to take Amtrak. 1) Is Penn Station the nearest one to the JFK, or are there any stations else? 2) How could I get to Penn Station (if it is the nearest) from JFK, and how much does it cost? 3) Could you recommend any other cheap and easy ways to go to Durham from the airport?

Penn Station is the closest Amtrak station to JFK. If you wish, you can book the entire trip from JFK to Durham through Amtrak, as Amtrak offers connecting bus service from JFK to Penn Station. At www.amtrak.com, enter "JFK" as your origin, and "DHM" as your destination to see times and fares.

There are other ways to get from JFK to Penn Station. Check out the options at www.flyerguide.com.

A cheaper way of getting to Durham would be to take Bolt Bus or Megabus from Penn Station to Boston, and Amtrak from Boston's North Station to DHM.

Nice website....thanks for the shared info!

Thank you so much. Could you please tell me how long it would take from JFK to Durham?

You would have to check schedules at www.amtrak.com and/or www.megabus.com or www.boltbus.com.

How do I get from Delta terminal at JFK to Frontier terminal at LaGuardia on a Friday morning at 7:00 am?

Take a taxi or NY Airports shuttle bus from terminals.

are there any hotels within walking distance of jamaica station?

The Super 8-Jamaica and Days Inn-Jamaica are fairly close.

Airport terminal authorities only please.
MS

from terminal 3 (Delta) to terminal 7 (British Air)
After I claim my luggage how do I get to air train. I should be landing at 3:30 and have to catch a 7PM flight. Will I have enough time? Thank you

You should have time. Follow signs to AirTrain (the elevator will take you up to track level) and take any AirTrain on track 1 to T7.

How long does it take to go from terminal5 to terminal1?

About five minutes.

What's the fastest way by airtrain to get T7 from T4?
Thanx
