JFK to Philly
I'm arriving in JFK and want to take a train down to Philadelphia: what should I do?
jfk to philly
Use the Airtrain to go to the Jamaica subway station. Take the E line, transfer to the 4-5-6 at Lexingont Ave to Grand Central Station. From there, take an Amtrak train to Philly. OR you could just fly from JFK to Philly!
No, no, no. Take AirTrain
No, no, no. Take AirTrain to Jamaica LIRR-LIRR to Penn Station where Amtrak is, and take Amtrak to Philly. Trains from Grand Central do NOT go south!!
from JFK to New York Penn Station
Could you help me about the easiest and the cheapiest way to go penn station from JFK Airport? Airtrain pathway seems complicated, please help, thanks in advance.
It's very easy. Take LIRR
It's very easy. Take LIRR from Penn Station to Jamaica. Walk upstairs to AirTrain and take that directly to your terminal. There are people at the AirTrain entrance to help you. You'll pay $5 for the AirTrain plus whatever your LIRR fare is. There is also a bus from Penn Station to JFK but I think the train is faster given traffic.
easiest way to get to Penn
easiest way to get to Penn station from JFK is to take AirTrain to Jamaica LIRR train station, then LIRR at Jamaica to Penn Station. go to http://lirr42.mta.info/sfweb/faces/index.jspx to find train times from Jamaica to Penn Station. the AirTrain is not hard to use at all. the main line runs around the terminals and right to Jamaica. VERY easy.
