      you can take the AirTrain to Howard Beach for the A to Lower Manhattan/Downtown Brooklyn, or AirTrain to Jamaica for the E to midtown; depending on where you're staying in NYC (where's the specific cross street of the hotel)?

    From Jamaica, you also have the option of taking the E train to Midtown, which can be cheaper than the LIRR at times but does take longer. You can also take the J train to get to Brooklyn and Lower Manhattan.
    Alternately, one can take AirTrain to Howard Beach and transfer to the A train there to go to anywhere along the west part of Manhattan.

    Im two years late, but I just recently went to nyc a week ago in April 2021, and landed in Newark. Took the airtran from there to the city, and it was great! Also, on my way back to Newark on my departure, I pulled a shortcut on the Uber prices. Since I still had money on my metrocard, I took path at Heralds Square to Hoboken, and then took Uber from there. Instead of $53 from my midtown manhanttan hotel, I cut it down to $23 by just taking that path train into Jersey. Takes a little more planning, but where there's a will, there's a way!

  • @abdullahalrasheed394
    @abdullahalrasheed394 5 лет назад +11

    You should have mentioned that there are three options to get into the city from JFK, you have the railroad, A train and J train (subway).
    The A and J trains are only USD 2.75, and they can practically take you anywhere in NYC, as you can switch trains later for the same price. The railroad is more expensive and takes you only to one place in NYC (Penn Station).

    • @aabirdas7738
      @aabirdas7738 2 года назад +1

      Yeah the E from Jamaica is actually easier and faster because it gets to midtown from Sutphin Boulevard which is connected to the AirTrain, directly. It crosses under the East River and avoids the entire borough of Brooklyn and connects Queens to midtown so you can get off wherever your hotel is or come to Port Authority and take a taxi from the taxi stand, there are always cabs 24 7 which is pretty cheap if you are in midtown or thereabouts or walk from whichever stop is closest to your hotel or hostel.

  • @Eternal56
    @Eternal56 5 лет назад +6

    from LGA you could stay on the N, W trains. they go down 7th Ave at 57th St then continue through Broadway, they stop at times sq and Harold sq (not far from Penn). Also from LGA You could take the M60 to Lexington and 125th St get on the 4,5,6 trains to grand central or 125th St and Lenox and catch the 2,3 trains that run express to times square and Penn. AT JFK, If you're strapped for money and cant afford the LIRR from Jamaica to Penn, take the E train to Manhattan it hits most tourist areas and stops at port authority( near times square), 34th st (near Penn) and heads south on 8th Ave to World Trade Center. Another tip: if your hotel is in Lower Manhattan and you're arriving from JFK, you can take the J train straight into Lower Manhattan from Jamaica center.

    if you're cheap and going from JFK take the subway (line E goes to Penn station) it only costs 2,75 (+1 for a metrocard if you don't have one). It is a little slower but equally easy

  • @trotamundo76
    @trotamundo76 4 года назад +10

    Great video. I just wanted to add that one of the cheapest ways from EWR is taking the free shuttle to EWR's North Area and then taking bus 107 to Port Autority, from there it takes 30 mins and costs $6. Definitely not a very common route used by travelers, mainly by locals and employees but works like a charm.
    From JFK, the cheapest way Ive done it is buying a $32 unlimited ride Metrocard (which I had to buy anyways) at a kiosk and then go to Terminal 5 and take local bus Q10 to Lefferts Blvd/Ozone Park station and switch to the A train to Manhattan. This way you can skip the extra $5 for the Airtrain and your trip from the airport is already covered by the unlimited Metrocard.

  • @SugoiTravelReviews
    @SugoiTravelReviews 4 года назад +40

    Love the vid 👏🏻 Actually love all your videos! But I think for these suggestions for tourists/people taking public transit when coming to New York, these options are really only viable for people coming alone, with minimal luggage, and time to spare. Because, if you are coming with two people, it’s not much more money to get an Uber or taxi. If you have luggage or are older, it’s incredibly difficult to carry those bags around the subways (less than 25% of all subway stations have elevator access). And if you are on a timed schedule, the subways often run late (especially when having to transfer 2+ times). So, IMO, I’d say take an Uber or taxi to get to Manhattan if you have 2+ people, have luggage, or want to get to the city in good time.

      @mayraf.8540 2 года назад

    Depending on where you're going, you may take the M60 to Astoria or just take it to Manhattan to the 4/5/6, 2/3, 1, A/C, or B/D. I prefer that over catching the train in Astoria, but it depends on where you're going.

    As a fellow NYer (Manhattan) this is pretty sound, straightforward advice. These are generally the "best" or easiest ways to do it, and of course there are always exceptions. There are certainly cheaper ways, but balance that against schlepping bags around, time, individual vs group, and fewer transfers. Excellent advice and high production quality!

  • @davidthaler7018
    @davidthaler7018 5 лет назад +28

    Wellll....these are not always the cheapest options. Consider:
    From JFK via Jamaica, if you get the LIRR City Ticket, then your total cost (including AirTrain) is $9, a nice savings compared to $15.25 for a peak LIRR ticket. However, it’ll cost you only $7.75 to use the subway, which also goes to Penn Station. The E train is express in Queens so it’s a pretty fast ride.
    For LaG, I think I saw you pay two one-way fares-one each for the SBS bus and subway. The Q70 SBS takes you to the subway at Roosevelt Av in Jackson Hts, and it’s a free transfer to the subway.
    For EWR, New Jersey Transit gets you to Penn Station in about 30 min for $13.00 (including the $5.50 AirTrain fee)-cheaper and faster than the bus.
    However, the LIRR is easier with luggage because you don’t have to use turnstiles, or drag luggage up and down steps getting on and off a bus. Some NJT trains are split-level, which means using steps with luggage, but if you’re lucky, you may snag a seat just inside the doors.
    Just adding some additional perspective...

There is another Air Train which goes in circle that takes you to every terminal within JFK. Sarah does NOT explain this in her video, and you will be pissed off at her (for missing the details) when you find yourself in the wrong Air Train.

    I disagree about Newark. I found it very easy to get the air train to the NJ transit train station then 25 minutes (3 stops) and $13 each later we were in Penn Station in NYC. There is one fee for the air train and the train in to Penn Station. Its cheaper and quicker than the bus of course depending where you want to go but as stated in the video at Penn you can go anywhere from there.

Only thing to add to this is be aware of track work. Cause when track work fucks up your line, be careful. Go to mta.info and check to see if your line is running like it is supposed to.

    @GIJew 5 лет назад +12

    Just a heads up for how Peak/Off-Peak works:
    If your train is scheduled to ARRIVE at Penn Station (Jamaica westbound TO Penn Station) between exactly 6:00AM-10:00AM, you must have a PEAK ticket.
    If your train is scheduled to DEPART Penn Station (Penn Station TO Jamaica and other points east) between exactly 4:00PM-8:00PM, you must have a PEAK ticket.
    Any other scenario is considered off-peak. People who take the Long Island Rail Road commute into the city for work from Long Island. Peak is during the peak direction in rush hour. If you're standing on the platform and see a massive horde of people waiting to get on the train, chances are it's peak. When in doubt, buy an off-peak ticket. If it did happen to turn out to be a peak ride, the conductor will just ask you to pay the difference. This is not the case for not having a ticket, you will have to pay the regular price plus a penalty of about $8 per person.

      Ernest Kovach the m60 is 2.75, it’s a select bus service which is a bit different then a regular bus because you have to put your metro card inside a machine that’s near the bus stop and a receipt comes out, that receipt is your proof of payment then once you get off at 125th take the 4 train which is 2.75 to wherever you’re going

      Yes, only 5.50 per person From Grand Central you can take the 4567 or shuttle train which goes to times square. But the subway is not a pleasant place. Fast but dirty. Also laguardia is under renovation so expect delays on the highway while on the bus. Also remember that if your flight comes to NYC between 5am and 10am expect the bus travel to take a while due to rush hour traffic and the trains to be packed. BTW this route only applies to laguardia

    • @donaldkwan1936
      @donaldkwan1936 5 лет назад +8

      The total for each way is 2.75. When taking the M 60 the cost is 2.75. When transferring to the subway, there is one free transfer so it will not cost anything extra to take a train to anywhere on the subway system.
