Hi,

Can some one help me out as to how to go to JFK air port from White Plains, NY. This is my first time with lot of luggage to carry (2 big bags, 1 cabin n one laptop case).

I see I can take the Airtrain, but to which station and then which subway to get to 44th & Broadway in Manhattan. What is your estimate in time? I guess it depends at which terminal I board. but what would the time be from the station?

what is the best way to get from harrisburg, PA to jfk?

Or take a Taxi!!!!!!!

Can someone tell me the shortest means to travel from JFK International Airport to Newark. Train, buses, shared van ...what is the easiest if I have some luggage to take along. Thanks in advance

Hello, Can anyone help me? I want to go from JFK to Penn station using the airtrain and LIRR but am having a hard time figuring out exactly which stops to use...any ideas? Thanks!

You can take the Air Train to the Jamaica Station and hop on the LIRR to Penn Station.

reaching jfk from india on 30th of oct at 2.30pm and connecting flight to san diego at 4.45 pm is there enough time to finish immigration and customs to catch the connecting flight on time ??????

man eat some thing at the airport , these days domestic flights are not giving any free meals, though some will give and if its a non stop flight dont worry they will give some food. u may have time for customs dont worry. the airlines will take care if u are delayed.

Yes it usually takes about one to two hours....

Just walk fast when you get out of the plane in JFK...

Most people walk slow and there is 10 minute walk...

That makes a difference

I am flying into JFK on Sept. 20th. I need to get to Newark New Jersey. How do I get there using subway/rail??
