What subway goes to JFK airport?

Answer 1

You need to take the A train (of the A-C-E, the blue line). If you're coming from the 42nd Street-Times Square Station (at 42nd Street and 7th Avenue), then you just walk through the tunnel that connects the 42nd Street-Times Square Station to the 42nd Street-Port Authority Bus Terminal Station on the A-C-E line.

If you're coming from 42nd Street-Grand Central Station (at 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue), then first you need to take the S shuttle train (color grey), west across 42nd Street, from Grand Central (East 42nd) to Times Square (West 42nd). Then walk through the tunnel to the 42nd Street-Port Authority Station on the A-C-E line.

Then get on the Downtown A train to the Howard Beach Station. At the Howard Beach Station, get the shuttle (called the AirTrain) which takes you inside the JFK terminals.

Answer 2

There is only 1 subway line connected to JFK airport: the A train (of the A-C-E, the blue line). Take the AirTrain shuttle (for $5) from the JFK terminals to the Howard Beach subway station. Then board the A train at the Howard Beach station.

The A-C-E line runs up and down the West Side of Manhattan. You can take the A train to 34th Street-Penn Station (at 8th Avenue), 42nd Street-Port Authority Bus Terminal (at 8th Avenue), or 59th Street-Columbus Circle (at the 3-way intersection of 8th Avenue, Broadway and 59th Street).

If you have a specific destination in mind, then please ask another question, such as, "How do you get from the A train from JFK to 54th Street and 3rd Avenue?"

Answer 3

The A train.
