Take Airtrain from your terminal to Jamaica Station and transfer to the E subway. At either Forest Hills/71st Ave. or Jackson Heights/Roosevelt Ave. transfer to the F or V subway, both will take you to 2nd Ave/Lower East Side. Cost including Airtrain is $7.25 per person.

Hi i arrive at jfk airport at 21:15 08/sept. I need to get to Huntington, Long island that night. Any suggestions??? thank you.

LIRR trains from Jamaica to Huntington run every 45 minutes/1 hr. up to around midnight and then less frequent after that. Take the Airtrain from your terminal to get to Jamaica station. You can purchase both your Airtrain and LIRR tickets there. Here's the link for the current Huntington LIRR schedule http://mta.info/lirr/html/ttn/huntingt.htm
