To get from Terminal 1 to
To get from Terminal 1 to Terminal 7, one can get the AirTrain on either track. Taking the AirTrain on track 1 will take about *ten* minutes, as that train will make stops at Terminals 2/3, 4, and 5 before arriving at Terminal 7.
Taking the All-Terminal AirTrain on track 2 will be a little faster, as that train will only stop at Terminal 8 before arriving at Terminal 7.
Rather than waiting for any particular train, it probably makes sense to take whichever train arrives first.

to path
on a wednesday night 8 p.m. how long would it take to go from the airport to the PATH at world trade center? Would the E line throug Jamaica be the best option?
Two alternatives; take
Two alternatives; take AirTrain on track 1 from terminal to Jamaica Station and then E subway to the end at WTC OR AirTrain on track 1 to Howard Beach Station and then A subway to Fulton St, you can transfer to PATH at both stations. Travel time on AirTrain is about 15 minutes and about 45-50 minutes on either subway. You'll have a shorter walk to PATH from the E subway. Your choice!
travel between T4 &t7
Is it possible to travel between terminal 4& 7. How long is the journey and how frequent are trains
No it is not possible. You
No it is not possible. You can only get from one terminal to the next by an air train from terminal 4 on track 1 to terminal 7.

we are taking the air train
we are taking the air train from jamaica to JFK tomorrow morning at 10:30, will there be any delays on the air train?
The Airtrain is the best way
The Airtrain is the best way to go. You have to be aware of Rush Hour so I would Advise taking a train to Jamaica Station. Then the Airtrain to JFK.
Stuck in Airtrain
Been stuck in the air train for over an hour now. Many people upset because they are missing their flights. I highly doubt they will get reimbursed for their flights. God this really sucks!!!!!
Jamaica station.
I am flying into NYK at 2:30pm, I will leave for Ireland out of NYK at 10:00PM. I want to go to Bayside to see some older aunts and an uncle while I am waiting for connecting flight.
MY Uncle told me I could take the train from JFK to the Jamaica station and then catch the 31 bus to a stop on 32nd Ave. I might just take a taxi from the train station to his house, but I would like to know how to get this train from the airport to the Jamaica station, and how long does it typically take?
Any help would be great. I am nervous thinking about it. I might break down and get a taxi both ways, but i would prefer to save a bit of money.
THank you! ;)
I would take the AirTrain to
I would take the AirTrain to Jamaica then either take a taxi to Bayside. You should be at JFK by at least 8:00 if you have luggage to check. It also depends what airline you are flying. Aer Lingus departs from Terminal 4 usually. Delta departs from T4, T3, and T2. You should take the Taxi back to Jamaica and take the AirTrain to your Terminal.
You take the AirTrain from
You take the AirTrain from terminal on track 1 designated to Jamaica Station, travel time about 10-15 minutes. Travel time on the bus is about 45 minutes, $2.25 each way. Taxi is about $40 each way.
There is limited service on
There is limited service on the Q31 bus ($2.25), and they do not run late, so I would not take it at 10:00pm. However, I think taking it at 2:30 will be fine (you might just have to wait a bit).
To get to the Jamaica station from the Airport, you need to take the JFK Airtran ($5) to the Jamaica station; it will take approximately 15-20 minutes from what I can remember. To get to Bayside from Jamaica, I would say that will take another 20 minutes or so. So just to be safe, I would say the trip will take 45 minutes or so, and taking a cab is always a good option too if you don't want to deal with this...
