I'll arrive at JFK tomorrow at 14:45h and have to get to Grand Central Station in Manhattan. Which trains should I take?
A party of 1 adult and 2 children - 13 and 9 are scheduled to arrive on 3rd may at jfk at 0800 hrs. We are booked on a second flight out of jfk at 1600 hrs. Can you please let me know how I can get to times square and back in the safest and least expensive way. Thank you.
I've never taken airtrain but want to try. How do i navigate from jetblue terminal to 47th & 7th
we arrive at JFK around 6:30pm - how long will it take us to take the airtrain to the Jamaica Station, and tranfer to the long island train to the Westbury station - if that is indeed the fastest/best way to get there(?) Will i be able to get a cab from the Westbury station to my hotel?
Thanks
