I'm flying into JFK at 1:10 pm and hoping to catch a subway to the Times Square area in Manhattan. I've never been to NYC before so I was hoping for some advice on which subway line to take after taking the AirTrain to Jamaica station. Any idea how long that would take?

Will Time Permit.
Arrving at JFK from Brussels on 16th 12:30 PM. My connection flight to seattle is on 16th 16:20 PM. Do i have time enough to finish immigration, collect baggage and then meet my friend at Terminal Exit.

PS:
- Terminal would stay the same for both the flights.
- I could do without the risk but got a parcel to hand-over.

Can you still take air train to Jet Blue's new Terminal, I was told it is not as convenient now, I have to take an 8:00 AM flight and have to come in from Glen Cove LI can I make it. Also I am 72 years old!!! Can I do this comfortably, I'm in pretty good shape, but can't lift much.

I used AirTrain to the new JetBlue Terminal 5 last week, and it is very convenient. Several moving sidewalks easily get you into the terminal in about 3 minutes from the time you step off the Train.
