I am arriving JFK at 17.05 pm. Which transportation type do you advice me? and how can I find them? It's my first coming.

Take the AirTrain from your terminal to the Howard Beach subway station. Take the Manhattan-bound A subway to Utica Ave.

ort. my stop is utica ave. is the train station by the airport how close? how much money? do i need tickets?

Looking for best way to get from JFK to Riverside Church in the vacinity of Columbia Seminary. Thanks

if time is not an issue, take the air train to Jamaica and transfeer to the E subway line; take it into Manhattan and change at 7th Ave to the uptown A to 125th St; upstairs, on 125t St, transfer to the westbound M60 bus to W. 120th & Broadway. It'll take about 90 minutes, but will cost you $7.75.

How can I get from E42nd Street to JFK for a 7:10 PM international flight on a Tuesday, assuming I can't leave until 4:30. Is it possible?

I am arriving JFK at 11.30 am. I have outbound flight at 9.00pm. Can you advise how long it will take to go to Manhattan and come back? or is there any mini tour to show places of interest around?

My flight lands in Terminal 3 with only 40 minutes for my connection take off in Terminal 2. Is this doable via Airtran?

Terminal 2 & 3 are the same AirTrain stop. Walk from 3 to 2; they're connected.

hi,
how long will it take to get from terminal 3 to 1 and whats the fastest way?
thank you

Hi,
Can someone please tell me if it would be better to take a cab or the airtrain to JFK, from upper Manhattan, at around 4:30 pm on a weekday. Thanks!

If you're lugging around some heavy bags, I'd taxi it. Otherwise, the Airtrain is easy with just a change at the Jamaica station.

I have a 5 am flight out of Terminal 4 on 1/23. I intend to leave the car in longterm parking. How do I get to Terminal 4 at say 2 a.m.?

Take AirTrain from parking area. Runs 24 hours.

How should i go from JFK to Brooklyn 4 avenue by train?
