Hi, I'd like to know the cheapest way to get from JFK to Manhattan? And how long would it take?
Cheapest is by Airtrain/subway $7.25. Take Airtrain from terminal to Jamaica Station. Take E subway which runs along 50th St. when it enters Manhattan and then runs south along 8th Ave. and ends at World Trade Ctr. You can also take Airtrain to Howard Beach Station and take the A subway.
