Just follow the signs to Airtrain. Track 2 is the terminal-only loop, track 1 trains go to the Howard Beach or Jamaica terminals.
Airlink to MTA A train
I am planning on buying a weekly MTA card.
How do I pay for Airlink($5)and MTA A train at Howard St.
Do I buy separate MTA Card for Airlink?
Do I scan both cards?
You cannot use the weekly
You cannot use the weekly Metrocard for Airtrain so you would have to purchase a separate pay-per-ride Metrocard to pay the Airtrain fare and use the weekly card for subway fare.

long-term parking
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
