NFT: Train from JFK to Midtown

It sucks but

with the way the weather looks it might not be a bad idea. I haven't done it in years but the A train is what you need. Check out the MTA website

If youre in midtown

Airtram to the E train.

Either the A train

But since you're staying in midtown, not TriBeCa, that will take a while especially during non peak hours ...

Or you take the AirTrain to Jamaica station and then hop on the LIRR which goes to penn station in midtown. Might be the better bet.

Your biggest issue of course will be hoping your flight into JFK isn't significantly delayed !! Good luck.

Go with the second option. Take the AirTrain to Jamaica station and the LIRR to Penn Station.

how much luggage

How much luggage are you going to have. Also how close to a train station is your hotel?

Not much luggage

nygfaninorlando : 1/17/2019 9:00 pm : link

probably a carryon rolling suitcase for both my wife and I along with a computer bag and purse. I believe the hotel has a subway station right across the street. We're staying on West 37th street.

Then AirTrain to Jamaica station to LIRR

MetsAreBack : 1/17/2019 9:01 pm : link

Is the way to go. MSG is on 34th and broadway.

Jfk to Jamaica airtrain than LIRR In.

It will be fairly easy

Danny Kanell : 1/17/2019 9:09 pm : link

Just reiterating the advice here. Air train to Jamaica, then get on any LIRR train going to Penn. Very easy. Should be a quick walk to your hotel from Penn.

Thanks everyone

nygfaninorlando : 1/17/2019 9:11 pm : link

for the advice. Seems fairly straightforward, we�re going to give it a try. Fingers crossed our flight isn�t delayed from the snow storm.

MSG runs from 31st to 33rd streets.

Oh whatever

MetsAreBack : 1/17/2019 9:16 pm : link

There's an exit on 34th and 7th (which is actually an LIRR exit)

I wasn't trying to be a wise ass or anything, just wanted to be clear for someone coming from out of town.

Love the airtram

idinkido : 1/17/2019 11:14 pm : link

Easiest and most inexpensive to travel.

and there is always the JFK express.

Take the train to the plane, take the train to the plane.

Agree, it's really not bad at all. Pretty easy actually.
