Does anyone have any suggestions as far as a car service to JFK goes? I have a flight early tomorrow morning. Leaving from Paulus Hook. Thanks!

I hated publis transportation to JFK until the New Airtran. Love the new Air Tran takes 20 minutes off the trip at least!!!!!

Walk to Grove 5 - 10 minutes
Path ride 7 minutes
A express 35 minutes
Airtran 5- 10 minutes.
Connecting/waiting time say 20 minutes at most

Time will be 55 to 1:15

I had a real heavy bag once but most of the trip is flat (apart from the stairs at Grove) is you stay underground at the WTC Path and take the elevators. 2 heavy bags may be tricky.

There are buses from Penn Station and Port Authority to JFK.

Between JFK and Manhattan

Another way to get to JFK is to take the shuttle bus, which you can get at Park & 42nd across the street from Grand Central. It cost about $27 round trip. You can either take the PATH to 34th st & take a cab to 42nd & Park or take a bus to Port Authority & walk over.

We took the A train to JFK on the way in (about 90 min, and it was a pain), but we came back too early -- and too exhausted -- to do it again. So we took a cab to WTC (paid the regular $45 to Manhattan from JFK; to JC, I think it was $90 or something) and then hopped on the Newark train. It worked well, we got home in about 40 minutes total.

Whenever possible, book flights out of EWR... I think that even for someone in Manhattan it would be better than JFK. In our case the difference was too great to justify paying more for Newark.

As a weekly flyer, I have to agree with GrovePath, go for Newark, especially if you are flying at odd hours. On late returns, public transit out by JFK can be spotty, and a taxi will cost you $80-$100. You can always take the Airtran from Hoboken to Newark, or from the PATH stop in Newark via NJ transit.

I got there even quicker on public transportation: take the PATH to 33rd st, walk one block to Penn Station, take any LIRR train stopping at Jamaica (try for an express = 20 minutes), then hop on the AirTrain at Jamaica station. It took about an hour from Grove St and was more comfortable than taking the A train, despite all the transfers. Maybe not so good if you've got lots of luggage, though!

If you do not have too much luggage, then public transportation is actually a good option.

Take the Grove Street Path to World Trade Center, take the A Train to Howard Beach (note: ONLY the ones to Far Rockaway will stop at Howard Beach, not Lefferts Blvd), take the Air Train from Howard Beach to the terminals.

Total cost: $8.50.

I've done this a couple of times and always gotten to the airport terminal in 90 minutes, including a 10 minute walk to the Path Station.

Don't drive!

I drove my friend and...

Go out of Newark if you can -- saving a few bucks isn't worth it.

Whats best way to get back and forth from Downtown JC (Grove st) to JFK? Im sure this has been posted before
