plz..

How can I travel from Journal Square‎ Station in Jersey City, NJ to JFK airport by using train / public transport ?

PATH to 33rd. Walk a block to Penn Station. Take LIRR to Jamaica. Take Ait Train from Jamaica to JFK.

Help me, please. I will arrive 2 Feb. How I can reach from Terminal 1 JFK subway. I must go to Trenton. How?
Thank you

Take the Airtrain "jamaica station" route train at your terminal be careful, there other route trains. Its $5.00USD must buy a "pay per ride" metrocard. Then catch any Long Island Railroad train into Penn Station were you catch your other train on NJTransit train called the NorthEast Corridor(NEC) to Trenton. Go to NJTransit.com for schedule and fares. Good luck!

Take the Airtrain to Jamaica -> take the Manhattan bound E train to 34 st Penn Station. Take a NJ Transit to Trenton (don't forget to buy a ticket at the station).

How do I get from JFK to Times Square

i saw on someone's site a tip that said i could take the long term parking shuttle to lefferts blvd (for FREE) and then get on the regular $2 subway to nyc (ie port authority)

is this true? is it a way to avoid air train's $5 price?

Yep, that's correct. You get the long term parking shuttle and then the subway . It costs just $2 that way.

What about from the LTP to the terminals, can the shuttle be taken that way as well?

I don't think that's possible. I think you have to pay the $5 Airtrain fee to get across the fence from airport property into the Howard Beach subway station, even if you didn't take Airtrain.

You can, however, take a transit bus to a different subway station, and you get a free transfer to the subway if you pay with a Metrocard (probably available at newsstands in the airport).

Hello!
I need to go fro jfk to Manhattan. I would like to take the subway at jamaica station. How can I reach Jamaica station at my arrival at the airport? With airtrain? And where is the nearest stop of the airtrain? Where I can buy both tickets?
Thankyou for any suggestion.

Where is Airline Terminal Route located outside Term 7?

I need to go to Term 4 for international flight and have 1 1/2 hours to get bags then get to term 4 and check in for flight and go thru customs? That enough time?
Thanks!

From your departure point check your baggage though to your international carrier if your domestic carrier has such an agreement with the international carrier. Must do. Saves you having to retrieve your luggage and transfer it yourself to the other carrier, thus giving you plenty of time between terminals.
