Hi
I am travelling from the UK to JFK with Delta arriving at 2.00 pm. Please advise me how to get from JFK to Parsons Boulevard station

There's more than one "Parsons Boulevard" station. If you want Parsons Boulevard/Archer Avenue (Jamaica Center), take the AirTrain to Jamaica Station, and then take a Jamaica Center-bound "E" train one stop to the end of the line, which is Parsons/Archer/Jamaica Center.

If you want Parsons Boulevard/Hillside Avenue station, take the AirTrain to Jamaica Station, and then take any of the following buses for the short ride to Parsons/Hillside: Q25, Q34, Q43, or Q65.

I arrive JFK on Jet Blue from Boston @ 7:15 am & have to get bag from bag claim & check into Emirates for a 11:20 flight to Dubai. Is that enough time or should I fly down night before. Is air train easy to find? which train do I take between terminals & how long is ride?

Four hours is plenty of time. Just follow the signs in the terminal to AirTrain and take train on track 2 one stop from T5 to T4 where Emirates is located, only takes about a minute.

thnk you for the detailed answer

We have never flown into JFK, and it is a little daunting to us. We will be flying JetBlue from Orlando on to Dublin, our flight gets into JFK @ 19:30, then depart for Dublin @ 21:50. Please tell us where to go after our flight into JFK (B6048) so we can connect with our flight to Dublin (EI0108). Do we take the tram? How far apart is our arrival gate from our departure gate, etc. Thank you!

You will arrive at T5, then take AirTrain on track 2 one stop to T4, only takes a minute.

Hi,

I have to take the qatar airlines,to Doha.
which terminal is qatar airways in,and how can i reach that terminal from budget car rental office.

Regards

Terminal 4. Rental cars are located at Federal Circle AirTrain station, take AirTrain to all terminals.

Thank you for reply.
I am carrying 3 check-in baggage and i also have a infant with me,do you have any idea on how i can carry my baggage to AirTrain.

Thanks in Advance

You can rent a luggage cart at Federal Circle, take it on AirTrain and return it at the terminal.

Qatar Airways has moved to terminal 8 it is no longer located in terminal 4

I am flying Delta to JFK to meet Aer Lingus going to Ireland. What terminals are they located in and how to transfer if I have a handicap? Plus coming back I arrive at JFK at 7:30 PM, The last Delta flight i can find is 8:10 PM. Is there another airline leaving later that I can catch to return to Houston?

Aer Lingus is terminal 4, Delta is terminal 2/3. Take AirTrain (handicapped accessible) on track 1 from T3 to T4 and on track 2 on the way back to Delta. Try Jet Blue (T5), they fly to Houston-Hobby and may have a later departure.

Will be flying into JFK Memorial Day. What is the best way to get to the Hampton Inn Empire State Building (59 W 35th St) by using AirTrain/Subway?

Thanks
