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.

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'd go over 12 percent for that

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.
