JFK Airport Shuttles

Yes, you will take E subway from Jamaica Station to 23rd St. When you exit Airtrain at Jamaica follow the signs to the E subway. At the Airtrain exit purchase a pay-per-ride Metrocard at one of the self-service machines for whatever amount you wish, you can pay your Airtrain ($5) and subway ($2.25) with the Metrocard.

Airtrain will only take you as far as public transportation at Howard Beach (A subway) or Jamaica (E, J subway and LIRR). The NYAS express bus to Grand Central leaves from each terminal every 20-30 minutes, cost is $15. By public transportation; take Airtrain to Jamaica Station and then E subway to Lexington Ave. Transfer there for the downtown #6 subway one stop to 42nd St./Grand Central, cost is $7.25 total. If you have alot of bags I'd take the NYAS bus, not easy to schlep on the subway.

You could take a taxi, cost would probably be around $100+. Ask the hotel is they have a shuttle from the Secaucus Junction train station and if they do, you can take the NYAS express bus to Penn Station, or Airtrain from terminal to Jamaica Station and either E subway or LIRR to Penn Station. Then take pretty much any NJ Transit train to Secaucus Junction, total cost around $20. If no hotel shuttle you can still take a cab from station to hotel.

Ask at Ground Transportation counter about shuttle service and cost to Jersey City. You can also take public transportation; take Airtrain from terminal to Jamaica Station, transfer to either E subway (7.25 includes Airtrain) or LIRR ($8.50 Sunday "city ticket" and Airtrain) to Penn Station. Follow signs to PATH train (6th Ave. & 33rd St.) and take the blue/yellow PATH train (Journal Sq. via Hoboken-Sunday service) to Pavonia/Newport station.

Check at the Ground Transportation counter, I think Dave's Best Limo Service goes to the Philly area. Otherwise you could take Amtrak from Penn Station to Philly and then the NJ Transit Atlantic City Line train which stops at Cherry Hill, closest stop to Mt. Laurel.

Taxi is flat rate $45+tolls+tip to anywhere in Manhattan. Cheapest is by Airtrain/subway ($7.25); take Airtrain from your terminal to Howard Beach Station, take Manhattan-bound A subway to 59th St., transfer to the uptown 1, 2 or 3 subway to 96th St. Walk south on Broadway to 94th St. and turn right.
