My husband and I watched this video and about halfway through, simultaneously said "wow this is a really good video. That's so nice of her to make videos like this." Thank you for this!
Thanks so much! 😊 It's always nice to hear that these videos are helpful. There have been a couple of changes since I published this video (price of AirTrain and location of bus stop) so I might have to update it soon. But hoping it stays relevant for a little while longer.
Have been binge watching NYC videos to prepare for our trip later in the year. Honestly these are the best. Totally informative and so detailed. Thank you 😊
You did a much better job at explaining all of this than other videos I've watched. I found myself having more questions than I started with after I viewed a few of them. This was very thorough. Great job! You should be a teacher... You do a great job at explaining things to people who truly don't know anything and making it seem approachable and easy.
You're absolutely amazing and you should absolutely be a teacher!!! Can you imagine how great our school systems would be if it was full of teachers like yourself !!!??!!! This must have been an incredible amount of work for you to do. We are also very grateful to you! Great.... Absolutely EXCELLENT JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😊👍😊👍😊👍💕👍😊👍
i did it in every way, the cheapest andthe uber and taxi... if is your first time.....take a taxi, because is likely you phone has no service and you cant ask for an uber, and if you are carrying to much luggage, believe me.... you dont want that on subway stairs
If the weather is decent (you decide what that is for you), jfk-[airtrain]->lefferts blvd->walk to aqueduct north-> A train towards manhattan is a great hack. Saves entire airtran fare entirely- so only $2.75 to/from manhattan. If I'm in a hurry, and headed into/out of manhattan, it's worth paying extra for LIRR+airtrain even if nearly $20 one way during peak times as a one-off ticket.
I’m a New Yorker, so I’m going to say this. For the bus route: the Jamaica station actually connects to a lot of buses. For example, Q65, Q25, and many others and that from there you could connect to the 7 train that leds to Time Square which connects to a lot of the other subway lines. For example, N, Q, R, 1, 2, 3, A, C, and the E train.
Possibly the best video ive seen covering this topic. And to think i spent hours to finally figure it out, and then this video was suggested to me. I hope this video benefits others, as its the best one you will find out there on getting from JFK to NYC..
I usually take the bus because I don't like spending more money, lol. Also it stops closer to my house in Brooklyn than the subway. (The A train from Howard Beach and J or Z train from Jamaica go through Brooklyn. The LIRR has a separate train that goes to Brooklyn).
Thank you!!! 🙏🏼 it’s like you read my mind! I needed this!! We’re flying into JFK this December (first timer)💕 happy holidays!! And keep up the good work 💕💕
You’re an angel!!!!!!! I’m researching before getting to NYC this week. I’ll try to update this comment, but i’m sure you would have saved me time and confusion. Thanks!!
You're the best and your channel is going to be huge, top of mind for NYC info. I'll go to JFK next week and this video came in just in time. Thanks again!
Hello! Good afternoon. Wow, for long weeks I was looking for this kind of video and I found it 🎉 well explained step by step 🎉 congratulations 👏🏼🎉 keep it up🎉
Thanks! Thea! Those are the helpful videos for the traveler. I am pretty sure those already explain well but somehow I don't have a picture. What should I do LOL
Thank you! Your video helped me prepare for my trip to New York via JFK. I was able to ride the AirTrain and LIRR to Penn Station. I had an awesome trip. Thanks again.
6::33 -- While riding on NJ Transit NEC line, if I buy a ticket to n"Newark Airport station, there is an unusually high fare to include $6-7 for Air-train fare.
I have been to NYC many times but never entered the city through JFK (I have only had layovers at the airport), so I have no idea how confusing that Howard Beach station is... Once you explain it it makes so much sense! I wonder how long it takes a first-time visitor to figure this out.
Thank you good job. I just checked the price difference between LGA and JFK. I will save $40 if I landed on JFK. Now x2 that's a $80 savings. We're seniors we are used to taking taxi. Thank you for the plat rate information. We will visit NYC for 5 days this time.
You mentioned not using the subway after 10pm. What about LIRR? Specifically, board Airtrain to Jamaica about 10:30pm then Jamaica to Penn Station on LIRR. Thanks.
Can't believe you recommend flying into LaGuardia for domestic flights. There is no easy public transit into Manhattan and cabs are metered. JFK or Newark are better options. As for JFK, if I were a tourist, I'd opt for the Airtran/LIRR ride. t will take you into midtown where you can catch a cab. Also, taking a cab or ride share can get you stuck in traffic depending upon the time of day. There used to be an airport bus from midtown to the airports. Is it not still an option? It amazes me that there is such a ridiculous plethora of transit options to get from the major airports in NYC into Manhattan. I don't think there are any other major cities worldwide that have this problem. What a way to go America!
The video is good but not for tourist? If i load the Metrocard only with the price for one air train ride how will I get to the airport if i travel back? It make sense to load the card with 2 rides. And how long is a 7day ticket valid? If i buy one at 11am and leave in 7 days at 18pm is it still valid? I Germany tickets are always valid 24h from buying time. But it looks the 7day Metrocard is always until midnight valid. So if you buy at 23:59 you only get 6 days
6:26 -- In 1987, I rode a bus from A/Howard Beach to the JFK Airport terminals for no added fare. After seeing the airport terminals, I rode an 'express bus' (Olympia Trails bus, I think) to World Trade Center, where I caught a PATH train to Newark/Penn station.. This bus-route to Lower Manhattan no longer exists?
Hey There! I want to thank you for the useful tips. Thanks to the Airtrain and the LIRR, we arrived in Manhattan cheaply and very quickly. Unfortunately, we made a mistake that we didn't realise. We paid for a Metro Card for the Airtrain and only wanted to load it the next day with the 7 days unlimited pass. We could only load $33 onto the card, which we stupidly did, believing that we would be able to buy the pass that way. Unfortunately, it turned out that this is an Airtrain Metro Card and it cannot be loaded with the 7days Unlimited Pass. We would have had to buy a new card for the Metro. An exchange was no longer possible, so we ended up spending $66. Too bad, but it was still a wonderful experience.
Oh no! That's unfortunate and sorry to hear. 😕 But thanks for sharing! It might be something to mention when this video is due for an update. I hope you have a great stay though. Enjoy your trip!
So just to clear it out: can I buy a regular metrocard at JFK adding the 8.25 for the AirTrain and then, with the same card, add the 7 unlimited train rides for the subway?
@@constantinocastillo9366 I'm afraid I don't know. We bought a new Metro Card when the credit on the Air Train Metro Card ran out. But it could also have something to do with the fact that we only paid for the Air Train, as we didn't pay for an additional trip on the Metro. It could be that there is another Metro Card for this. That's just a guess.
thank you thank you so much!! i'm going to new york next year by myself (and it's my first time) and this video really helps me to understand the process easily!
Retro Airport!! For finishing such a great video! I wouldn’t find a better instructor to make my trip easier! Thanks for your excellence at explaining! keep it up Thea you’re doing great 👏 I will be staying in (Inwood) at the very top of Manhattan. Can I get your advice on which option should I take: 1. Airtrain - howard beach station - Line A 2. Airtrain - Jamaica station - Line E - Then either A or 1
Hi thanks so much for all these detailed and very clear information, really love your videos. We are arriving in NY Jfk airport on Saturday 3rd June at 1.00 o’clock pm. what is the fastest option to get into Midtown (riu manhattan time square hotel)? We only stay 4 days and we do not want to get stuck for Hours in the traffic. we have two suitcases. And we are leaving on thursday 8th June from Newark our flight is around 1100 am, we would have the same question.
On the other hand, my doppelganger on the San Francisco waterfront needs to go to SFO lickety split for a super important business meeting with Thea. The BART Red or Yellow Line has service four times an hour each, hop on at Embarcadero station, cough up a Hamilton, and arrive right at the airport gates in two thirds an hour. No need for xtra fancy video
Planning for a trip to NYC next spring and I love your videos so far! I've been reading on TripAdvisor that Uber/Lyft prices from JFK airport after the pandemic actually costs more than the yellow taxi. Do you have any info on that?
Hi there. From JFK to Manhattan (or vice versa), taxis are generally cheaper because they have a flat rate. If a driver turns on the meter, mention the flat rate because they shouldn't be running a meter.
Hey! I am flying to JFK airport with my family on 19th December. I have to get to Atlantic City, New Jersey. Can you please suggest me the fastest and the easiest mode of transport to reach to Port Authority bus terminal as i have to catch a bus from port authority bus terminal to Atlantic City.
Fastest way to Manhattan from JFK. Take the B15 Bus (10 - 15 minute ride) from JFK to the New Lots 3 train or L train stop. Then a 30 - 45 minute ride to Manhattan. Total time 1 hour or less.
NYC native here, though I normally have a family member drive me to JFK airport. (I live in Queens.) I had no idea that the AirTrain had such an unintuitive fare system. You pay if you're going to exit and one of the two main stations, and it's free otherwise? But what's NYC without its complications, right?
I think the reason why they have exit fees @ Howard Beach & Jamaica is for crowd control and to keep certain characters @ bay. You know, the riff raff.

So much helpful! You just reduced my anxiety, planning to visit NYC for the first time
UPDATES!!!
AirTrain is now $8. Taxi flat rate is now $70.
Terminal 8 has Q3 bus ONLY. Lefferts Blvd Station has B15, Q3, and Q10.
Update LIRR Is only $5 with city ticket. (Because JFK is In Queens it counts as travel in the city and not Long Island)
@@Trainsalldaythought it was $12

@@worldsfunniestvideosandbes3684 , I apologize, because I didn't know and you never said.
Newark Airport from Manhattan via Penn Station is $15.25 one way on NJ Transit.
For 2 people the Q10 Bus + E Train option paid by cc translates into $17 savings. (2x AT + 1 MC).
Possibly the best video ive seen covering this topic. And to think i spent hours to finally figure it out, and then this video was suggested to me. I hope this video benefits others, as its the best one you will find out there on getting from JFK to NYC..
I usually take the bus because I don't like spending more money, lol. Also it stops closer to my house in Brooklyn than the subway. (The A train from Howard Beach and J or Z train from Jamaica go through Brooklyn. The LIRR has a separate train that goes to Brooklyn).
I love the chaos and confusion of nyc!! It’s so human!! Thanks for the video!!!
I have a friend flying into JFK in March for her 1st trip to NY. thanks so much for this breakdown of the process
Thanks! I hope they find this useful.
Thank you. Very informative video. Been to NY several time and only taken the LIRR. Am going to try the Subway this time. So this is super helpful.
FYI: The LIRR now stops at Grand Central.
Thank you!!! 🙏🏼 it’s like you read my mind! I needed this!! We’re flying into JFK this December (first timer)💕 happy holidays!! And keep up the good work 💕💕
Thank you! Happy holidays as well 🌟 Feel free to share this too if you know someone who is visiting and could use the help. Have a great trip! 😊
You’re an angel!!!!!!! I’m researching before getting to NYC this week. I’ll try to update this comment, but i’m sure you would have saved me time and confusion. Thanks!!
Thanks! Yes, please update if you see any changes. The only change I heard about is that the AirTrain went up to $8.
I’ve only done it once, but imo taking the subway at 1-2am from JFK wasn’t bad at all. Felt very safe and I ran into some helpful locals.
Thank you for all the excellent and didactic information in each one of your videos! The best channel without a doubt!

Thank you! First timer in US here, port of entry is NY.
Good job, simplified and easy to comprehend!
Thank you so much for this video! We'll be traveling to New York in a month and your videos are so useful and offer great explanations and advice.
Glad it was helpful! 🙌 I hope you enjoy your trip and not get too lost 😅
Maybe worth noting (for weary first time travellers heading to Brooklyn). The J train platform at Jamaica is directly UNDERNEATH the E train platform.
Thanks! Thea! Those are the helpful videos for the traveler. I am pretty sure those already explain well but somehow I don't have a picture. What should I do LOL
Amazing Job!!! This is the best explanation on how to do this, specially showing a lot of possibilities of how you can do it.
Thanks! Hope this allows for a better trip.

Brilliant explanation video ...... I wasn't sure if I could add the additional $7.75 to the unlimited 7 day card or not .... now I know 👍
Yes, the MetroCard can be so confusing. They might get rid of it in 2-3 years from now. But that's still a long ways away.

My fav is AirTrain to LIRR @ Jamaica & AirTrain to 🚇 @ Jamaica & Howard Beach
One major difference between Taxi and Uber is the Taxi will drop you anywhere in Manhattan at the flat rate. At rush hour the trip can take 2 hours.

Thank you! You explain this really well.
Best video out there on the subject. Thanks
Thanks for the video I need this so then when I grow up I can use this airport to go to France or Italy
Thanks for watching! That's a great idea. JFK has so many flights to Europe. And I'm a big fan of Paris 🇫🇷
Great video Thea, keep up the good work, you are so helpfull
What I'm looking forward to as a suburbanite is LIRR opening up at Grand Central. Metro North ---> LIRR --> AirTrain to JFK!
That station would be so helpful for a lot of people.
Look forward to your forthcoming LIRR video

I would avoid the subway late at night. But in general, it's fine from the airport to Manhattan.
I read the flat rate from JFK to Manhattan is now $70 instead of $52. You might need to update the video description?
Geez, it just keeps going up. Thanks!
The international flights that come to LGA and dont need immigration are flights from Canada
