helpful tip i learned from my friend: if you've got a roundtrip flight booked to/from JFK and your party is 2+ people (aka not traveling alone), buy the 10-trip metrocard instead of using tap to pay - ends up being less than $8.50 per person per trip!
I always get lost when I arrive at JFK and it usually ends up taking me a good 2 hours to get into the city. This time, I wanted to be prepared. Thank you so much for this, it has taken away the stress of knowing where to go.
One should mention 2 other cheap ways to Manhattan. -1 take Q10 to the last stop, then transfer to a Manhattan bound train, A,E,F which will get you to Manhattan in 30 minutes or you can take local trains. They take longer N,R . -2 take the rockaways bound A train an take the Airtrain from there. Many people travel this routes for 2.95 dollars
Woo! Thanks for the updated video! I plan to travel with one large checked in bag? Does it ever get busy to the point where it would be a struggle to travel with a large(ish) bag?
@jared I commented on a 2022 video not realising there was an updated one. For Airtrain to Jamaica Station,will it announce that im there? And when purchasing LIRR, from what time is considered off-peak? Thanks for your very straightforward videos, helping an anxious girl out! 😅
Peak is the lengthy rush hour ... so 6-10am, and 4-8pm. The price differential isn't too bad. You'll be fine, especially with the new upgrades & not having to buy a Metro card!
Hi thanks for the video, really informative and gives me confidence to use this method to get to Manhattan. Re the contactless payment how do i pay for children? We are a group of 4 2 adults and 2 children aged 11 and 8. Thanks for your help.
For a group of 4, it might be just as cost-effective to take a taxi. If you think the kids would enjoy the trains, I would just keep using your card against the touchpad, and sending an adult through first, and then the two kids. One of the workers there in a red jacket will be happy to help!
when i arrive to the penn station and my hotel is 13 min away in walking (at 8th ave) is it safe to walk this distance with 1 large bag after midnight ?
Hey could you please tell me how long would it take if I take the subway instead of LIRR and also could you please share what the price difference would be? Thank you!
It depends on your destination. The AirTrain + the A or E train would be around 80 minutes? The AirTrain + LIRR is around 50 minutes. The subway is up to $2.90 per ride. I forget what the LIRR was last time... but it'll be $8-$14 each way, depending on if it's rush hour.
Can i use cash to pay, i had to cancel my card due to fruad but bearriving back in nyc the 31st at jfk, is it hard to find airtrain, i would like to take it to 34st
I think there are still machines where you can use cash to buy a Metro Card to use instead of a credit card. The AirTrain is easy to find at JFK. If you're trying to go to 34th Street in Manhattan, you'll take the LIRR from Jamaica Station to Penn Station (which has exits to 34th)
It seems only your video has ruclips.net/video/g6JIB4l1ARs/видео.html to prove now people can get our Jamica AirTrain using OMNY instead of Metro Card. Thank you so much! ^_^

This was super helpful, thank you! I was initially apprehensive about getting from JFK to Manhattan, but your video made it so easy. Thanks!
Glad to hear - you'll be good to go!
The contactless upgrade makes things so much more convenient!
100% Such a great idea
Yes absolutely

Great- they've really made it better than ever. Have a good trip!
@JaredDillinghamTravel Just want to say thank you again. Got from JFK to the hotel without any issues. Took the LIRR route and it was great 👍

Enjoy your trip!
@@JaredDillinghamTravel ... sure i'll do 🇺🇸
Woo! Thanks for the updated video! I plan to travel with one large checked in bag? Does it ever get busy to the point where it would be a struggle to travel with a large(ish) bag?
You'll be with a lot of other people with large bags! Should be fine.
Good video. Thanks!
Hope it helps!

Would you recommend the subway or the railroad from Jamica? Thanks for the video!
I almost always do the LIRR ... either to Grand Central or Penn Station. It's much faster than the subway.
@@JaredDillinghamTravel Thanks mate!
thank you lot's😘
You're welcome 😊
So, we don't have to buy a metro card? We can use contactless debit card for the whole journey?
No Metro Card needed anymore! Even on the subways, it's contactless.
so we don't need to buy the metro card anymore? that's handy to know.
however, what if I stay around a week with a heavy use of subway? will it be cheaper to use the 7 day pass?
If you're using the subway daily for a week, I'd do a 7-day pass.
What time is the last airtrain? Just wondering if this will work for my late arriving flight...
It's 24/7 ... Even during off-peak hours, trains run every 4-10 minutes.
thank you!
Have a good trip!
can you use your direct debit card for two people ? or is it best to buy tickets for airtrain ?
when i arrive to the penn station and my hotel is 13 min away in walking (at 8th ave) is it safe to walk this distance with 1 large bag after midnight ?
I think so. 8th Avenue will still have people out walking around.

How much was the LIRR to Penn?

Would you recommend taking the same journey after 8 pm?
Yes, we've done it many times. You might have fewer train options from Jamaica into Manhattan at night.
How Can you take the air from Nnewark Airport to JFK
The AirTrain only runs to JFK. From Newark, it's very easy to take one of the Jersey Transit trains into Manhattan.
It seems only your video has

to prove now people can get our Jamica AirTrain using OMNY instead of Metro Card.
Thank you so much! ^_^
