Hi! I am wondering if someone could tell me

1.How to get to Port Authority Bus station from JFK. My hotel is very close to there but the thing is my flight arrives at JFK at late night around 11pm. So:
2.Is it safe to travel around with two big luggages or I'd better stay at the airport overnight and wait till the morning.
3.Does the Airtrain run all the time 24hrs?

Thanks alot!!!

1.- Subway A will take you to the 42th st port authority bus station. The advantaje is that you take the A from the Airtrain howard beach station

2.- Yes, as a visitor I can say it

3.- yes

Hi.
I'm arriving in JFK with Swiss air august 6, about 2.45 pm, and need to get to West 97th street. What is the best way to get there? Bus or train?? And how long does it take?
Thanks.

If it can help you, some days ago I went from 47th street to JFK by subway (A line) and connecting with the airtrain service at Howard Beach station. It took me about 90 minutes and two line transfers to get there with the luggage up and downstairs. In NY subway (subway in Calcutta must be more developped than that in NY)escalators or lifts are non existing. I arrived to JFK exhausted before taking a 7 hour flight but the best was the price, only 7 dollars (5 airtrain plus 2 subway)compared to the 45 dollar flat taxi fare.
About the bus, I have no idea but expect it to be more expensive and to stand heavy traffic jams in the way through Brooklyn and Queens.
If you travel with more people to share the cost, think about the taxi option, a few more dollars will be worth it.

there is some bus between de JFK airport and the la guardia airport??
thak you

I'll need to get to JFK from Huntington Station in LI. I remember passing the LIRR. If I take the LIRR, what stop to get off and how do I access the airtrain?

We will be flying into JFK and need to get to Penn Station to catch amtrak to DC. We are wondering the best way to do so and what the cost would be.

Take the airtrain into howard beach. Over there you will take the A train that stops on 34th st = Penn St. Total cost $7usd. ($5 airtrain + $2 subway) Consider (60-90 minutes)

Hello,
