what is the best way to get to penn station from JFK? i'm hoping for a subway or train. preferably something on the cheaper side, but no bus.
Just take the AirTrain from your terminal to the Jamaica station ($5.00 fare) and hop on the LIRR (Long Island Railroad) right into Penn Station...
I would like to know if there is a bus connecting JFK airport to Macarthur airport.
Thank you very much.

Board the A line subway at 34th St.: $2
Transfer to the AirTrain at Howard Beach: $5
You will probably need to transfer A lines at Euclid Av.
You want to continue in same direction; ultimate subway (not you) destination is Far Rockaway.
You should buy a $7 card at 34th st station.

Take the AirTrain from your terminal at JFK to the Jamaica station. From there you can take the Long Island Railroad to Penn Station.
Please give information about train availability from Pen statyion to JFK Airprt

If you mean Sunset Park in Brooklyn NY:
The R line (yellow) has a station at 45th and 4th very near Sunset. The D and M subway lines are also nearby and there is a transfer station between them all at 36th St. (or you could walk from there). I always take the AirTrain to the A line subway @ Howard Beach Station: $5 Airtrain, $2 subway fare. You will have to transfer from the A line to the other lines.
I do not know the best transfers. Check out the links.
Possibly: the A line to the F line at Jay St - Boro Hall; F line to R line at 4th Av- 9th St.
