  • JFK is where most international travelers and a decent share of domestic ones will arrive. It is a multi-terminal airport with the airtrain linking the nine of them in six stops. Terminals two and three, five and six and also eight and nine are shared stops. The major international terminals are one and four although international flights leave from nearly all. Depending upon airline of course.

    I visited NYC 3 times for business and I really like that city, but... last time I was there I did exactly what I was used to: jump off of Imigration right to the booth where it reads "Ground Transportation Service". I asked for a shared ride, this time to Long Island. The counter told me it was $45 and pointed me to a driver. The ride was fine until we got to my final destination in Long Island where the driver asked for $103 bucks telling that the ride was not shared because there was nobody else to share with me. I got really upset with that but had to pay. I've asked for a phone number to complain and found later that day that he gave me his own cell phone number. When I returned to JFK to fly back home I complained on the same booth but I'm still waiting for an answer and my money back. This was the trap side, now goes the real tip: get the Air Train. It will take you secure and confortably to: • the LIRR at Jamaica Station • the E, J/Z subways at Jamaica Station • the A subway at Howard Beach Station • the NYC Transit Bus Lines Q20, Q24, Q30, Q31, Q43, Q44, Q54, and Q56 at Jamaica Station • the Green Bus Lines Q6, Q8, Q9, Q40, Q41, and Q60 at Jamaica Station • the Green Bus Line Q11, one block from Howard Beach Station, at 102nd St and 160th Ave • you can ride around JFK Its cheap, quick and secure. Don't be afraid and don't waste your money with "Ground Transportation Service", get the train.

    John F. Kennedy: JFK to Manhattan

  • Everyone always says avoid JFK at all costs and that La Guardia is much better. I agree but not 100%, if you book some form of transportation ahead of time like I did then getting from JFK is really straight forward. I booked a shuttle bus from the airport to Manhattan with a company called Airlink New York and they were there on time. The ride cost about 18$ US one way and WELL worth it because public transportation is a bit tricky and not worth the headache. The ride takes about 1 hour with traffic and Airlink picked me up from the arrival hall and dropped me off at my hostel's door which was impressive. I will def use them again.

  • At the Howard Beach station The train stops at Howard Beach every 5 to 10 minutes during rush hours and every 15 to 20 minutes evenings and weekends. AirTrain stops at Howard Beach every 4 to 10 minutes. Most subway lines connect to the train. Just be sure you take the marked "Far Rockaway," NOT "Lefferts Boulevard." It's about a 12-minute ride from the Howard Beach station to the airport. At the Sutphin Boulevard station in Jamaica trains all stop at the Sutphin Boulevard station where you connect to the AirTrain Jamaica Stop. trains run every 5 to 10 minutes during rush hours and 8 to 12 minutes evenings and weekends. AirTrain travels to the airport from Jamaica every 4 to 10 minutes and the trip takes no longer than 12 minutes. At LIRR Jamaica Station There is an in-station link to the AirTrain platform — AirTrain travels to the airport from Jamaica every 4 to 10 minutes. The AirTrain ride takes about 12 minutes.

  • I found JFK surprisingly difficult to get around when I got off my flight from San Diego. No signs anywhere to the train or anything like that. Actually getting to the airport from Manhattan was fine, it is a long old journey though by the time you get on in Manhattan, change at Jamaica Station in Queens, get the ticket for the Airport bullet train ($5) and then watch out for your terminal.... so you really NEED to know what terminal you're going to, otherwise you will waste valuable time.
