Take AirTrain to Jamaica Station and LIRR to Flatbush Ave. Brooklyn. The station is at Flatbush/Atlantic/4th Aves. If you're destination is further down 4th Ave. connect to the R subway which runs down 4th Ave. to Bay Ridge.

Hi everyone.

Could anybody advice
- How long does it take to get from the Terminal 8 to the Terminal 1 and what is the fastest way?
- What is the fastest way to get from the JFK to La Guardia airport?

I recall that there is airport bus service to JFK just across the street from the Grand Central entrance.

Does anyone know what is the best way to get from grand central on 42th street to the JFK airport?

How do I find out about catching a bus to Scranton, PA from JFK?

can somebody please helpme.i would like to know how to get from canal street(china town) to jfk airport??
thanks a lot

ha ha...about to do this myself, but from brooklyn.

depending where on canal street you are....take the A, C or E subway (6th Av) UPTOWN or the 1 (7th Av) to 34 St. and take and LIRR train there to Jamaica. At Jamaica you can connect to the Air Train to JFK. Alternatively, you can tke the A train Downtown into Brooklyn/Queens to Howard Beach OR the E train UPTOWN to Sutphin Ave I believe (check this). You can connect at Howard Beach or Sutphin also to the AirTrain. Going with the LRR is quicker but is a few dollars more expensive and requires more connections but you will hang outside less. The other way is slower but cheaper.

How to get to LGA airport?

taix car van or train

can someone tell me where i can get the transit schedule for Jamaica hub to JFK terminals or note estimated times it runs? i.e. every 15 min, 30 min? does the schedule vary by day/night? thanks!

Sue if you need to go from Jamaica to JFK you do not need a schedule. The AirTran runs under every 5 minutes from Jamaica to all terminals at JFK.

is this all day all night?

What is the best way to get from JFK to Hotel Pennsylvania for two people traveling lightly? Can we catch the subway to Penn Station near JFK?
