JFK Airport Shuttles

There are plenty of hotels nearby JFK. They cost from $90 and up. Besides that you can spend the night at Terminal 4 which is open 24/7 but there are only seats available there to rest.

You really overpaid for your trip. The cab ride to any point to Manhattan on YELLOW cab is flat rate of $45 + $5 toll + $0.50 tax= $50.50 . Tip is on your discretion.
In front of each terminal there is a yellow cab station where an uniformed taxi dispatcher will assist you.

Fastest way:
Yellow cab (from JFK to any point to Manhattan) costs flat rate of $45 + bridge toll($5.50)
Cheapest Way:
Take Airtrain from any terminal on track 1 to Howard Beach Station( be careful - on that track there are two alternating trains going to different routes; check the sign above the doors as the train arrives; the green colored sign is Howard Beach one). Then take subway line A towards Manhattan to 175th street stop. Cost-$7.25

The cheapest way to get there is by public transportation.

It is very hard to do that in advance. She can ask Aeroflot people after she lands - most of them do speak Russian. Or you can print a note in English(so she can show it to any uniformed employee) asking for assistance with the details of her connecting flights. That helps every time.

Since you have luggage I would not recommend you public transportation as being the least expensive one. Taking a taxi will be your best decision(there is no shuttle going there). It will cost you somewhere between $35-$45 for the whole cab. Arrange/ask QM2 personal if you can leave your bags there first.

Hi Anoof,
you can always ask for assistance at the baggage belt. There are so called "Sky caps" and their job is to do exactly that - just ask any uniformed employee to locate one for you.
