Thank you very much

Is there any type of transportation bedsides a taxi, such as a shuttle, bus, or subway to get to Columbia University?

Bicycle

Here's the cheapest way to go, although it will take at least an hour. Take the AirTrain to Jamaica Station. You'll have to buy a MetroCard with at least $7 on it. They'll charge $5 for the transfer from AirTrain to Jamaica, and $2 for the subway. Take the E train towards Manhattan and get off at 42nd St (Port Authority)- it'll take about 45 mins. Transfer to the uptown 1 train and get off at 116th Street/Columbia U.

Good luck!

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS A PAY SERVICE AT JFK AIRPORT TO ESCORT PASSENGERS FROM TERMINAL 1 TO TERMINAL 3.

the information of terminal as shown in web site is not much in details.
As I will be travelling fr aboard and arrive at terminal 7and will also connect the flight to North Calorina by American Eagle. After I pass the custom , it will b convenient for me to rechk in my baggages at Terminal 7 .Can I have a map or advise me the location of the rechk in baggage at Terminal 7 ( for connecting flight) and the access to the Airlink to the other terminal

Thks in advance

I can't believe this is JFK's website. It is the most poorly designed site for an international airport. Very disappointing to say the least.

this is not official JFK airport website

My flight leaves on November 26 from JFK to Toronto at 7.55 and it's COMAIR. I have no idea to which terminal i have to go, i just know that it's gate 23, but where? Can somebody please help me, thank you so much!!!

Have you never flown before? Have you no common sense? Is a JFK comment board really your first choice for good travel information? Had you not considered first searching the website that you're already on? Contacting the airline? Checking your ticket? Or perhaps even waiting until you arrived at the airport to consult one of the many conveniently and very visibly located directories that must surely be available to you? What on earth do you think everyone else does?

It's Terminal 3.

I had the same issue, and I fly at least once a week for work. Neither flightstats nor delta nor my ticket say which terminal and there are 8 different ones at JFK. I tried waiting and going to the gate before, but what makes you think they know -- or worse -- will not take up hours of your time.

I'm glad someone asked the question, but this helped me a lot today.

I land on 18 Nov. at 1:35pm with LH 400 Terminal 1 and want to fly on to Phili at 2pm with Delta, how far is the Distant and do i have enough time to catch my plane?

Could you please let me know the sidtence from Jfk to NJ distence??

Can I get the address to JFK so I can put it in my GPS... Thanks
