Hi,
This is Harisudhan from India. I am arriving to JFK on 12th January to pursue my studies. I need to go to my cousins place at Albany new york. Can any one help me with this??

Take the bus to port authority and then you can buy a bus ticket to Albany. ir you can take the bus to Penn Station and take a train to Albany. Albany is aproximately 2 hours from the city.

i am arriving on a domestic flt into t-5 and need to catch an international flt out of t-4.is 4 hrs between flts enough to clear luggage from domestic flt and immigration for international flt?

Four hours should be plenty of time. T4 is not as crowded as other airport. Depending on the next destination and airline, there might be a long line to check in, but seldom get as messy, say Miami or Chicago. Good luck!

Hi,
I'm taking the train from Albany to NYC and I should be arriving into Penn Station around 3:35pm. I have to catch a flight to Salt Lake City at 7:30pm. Do I have enough time to get through security and catch my flight? Should I try to get an earlier train? Also is there another way to get to JFK instead of a taxi cause it's so expensive?
Merry Christmas!!!
