Hello, I will be arriving @ Terminal 8, and need to get to the Lower East Side (101 Bowery). What AirTrain do I take, and what do I transfer to? Also, on my return to the airport, what do I take to connect to AirTrain. Thank you! Greg.

Is the Lefferts Boulevard station within short walking distance of where my car would be parked in "long-term parking"? You replied earlier that it takes 2 mins to the airport from Lefferts Boulevard. This seems very quick, is this the time to go all the way to Terminal 8?
Thanks

Is the airtrain running from Jamaica LIRR to terminal 5 Friday morning 4/13 at 8am? Someone mentioned I will need to take a shuttle bus due to construction on the AirTrain. If so, where do I catch the shuttle bus and how often do they run?

I arrive into JFK at Terminal 7 and have a Delta Flight (JFK to BOS) to connect with.

Please advise if 2 hours is sufficient to collect luggage and check in to the Delta flight.

And what are the options for transferring between the terminals.

Thanks.

We have an appointment with global entry office in Terminal 4 closest to passenger pick-up side A&B before a flight that evening leaving from Terminal 5. How can we get from the office location to Terminal 5 with our bags?
