re:Air train to hotel shuttle
Take Airtrain on the third floor , on track 1 to Federal Circle. It is free to Federal Circle. At Federal Circle go down stairs, call your hotel(they have courtesy phones) and step outside to wait for the shuttle.

JFK to South Jersey
Hello
What's the way to get from the airport to South Jersey. Cherry Hill, Marlton, Mt Laural etc. I will arrive at 10pm 26 April.
Thanks
Jon
re:way to get from the airport to South Jersey. Cherry Hill, Mar
Hey Jon,
Those places are close to Philadelphia and if you can get something(train or bus out of Manhattan) to Philly, I am sure there will be some transportation to those places.

Our family of 5 will be
Our family of 5 will be flying in to JFK, hopefully leaving our luggage, and seeing the sights for the day before renting a car. What is our best, money-wise option for getting to Battery Park? Taxi, subway or airtrain?
re:Our family of 5 will be
Money-wise option would be Airtrain + Subway.
Take Airtrain on track 1 to Howard Beach Station and then take subway line A towards Manhattan. Get off at Broadway-Nassau stop and transfer to line 6 going downtown. Get off at Bowling Green stop and you will be at Battery Park.
Cost - $7.25/person.
If you decide to take a taxi/private car ( if they accommodate 5) the price will be $50.

Hi, We are traveling to JFK
Hi,
We are traveling to JFK Apr 19th @ 7-30AM and we have to go to "New York, Penn Station 31st St. and 8th. Ave".
Here I am thinking to go by AirTrain. Can you please tell me best routes/subways/trains I have to take and also total fare.
re:We are traveling to JFK Apr 19th @ 7-30AM
Take Airtrain from any terminal on track 1 to Jamaica 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 red colored sign is Jamaica one). Then either:
-take subway line E to Penn Station(total fare - $7.25) or
-take LIRR to Penn Station(faster;total fare - $13)

Good Morinig, I Will arrive
Good Morinig,
I Will arrive at Terminal 8 with an AA international flight and, after clearing custom, I have an interconnction to Chicago with Delta at Terminal 3.
To move from T8 to T3 can I take any air-train or there is some specifc rail ?
Can I re-check my bags at terminal 8 or I have to bring it with me at terminal 3 ?
Thank you in advance.
re:Good Morinig, I Will arrive
To go from T8 to T3 via Airtrain you have to take any train ONLY on track 2.
You can either recheck the bags at T8(Connecting flight counter) or take them with you to T3 and recheck them there.
