Just an FYI: the first use of the MetroCard cost the rider $5.00 and the second time cost $2.75 so you need to have at least $7.75 on the card before you use it. If you put at least $5.50 on the card (i.e., a round-trip fare using local bus or subway), you get an 11% added to the card's value. Therefore, when you put $7.00 on a card, the extra 11% adds $0.77 for a value of $7.77--enough to exit AirTrain and board a subway with $0.02 left on the card. MetroCards remain valid for a while so if you know you'll be returning, keep the card so you don't have to pay $1.00 for a new one--you can just add more money onto the old one. Also, you can't add any time-based value onto a card you buy at JFK. Once I got to Manhattan, I tried to add a 7-day unlimited use onto the card I bought at JFK, and I got an error. I tried another machine--same error. I bought a new card and asked MTA why this didn't work--they said it was because the cards at JFK are issued via the Port Authority of NY and NJ, which oversees the airports, bridges and tunnels, and is not associated in any way with the Metropolitan Transit Authority of NYC. You can add cash value to the card you buy at JFK. A 7-day unlimited costs $31.00 and lets you use subways and local buses (but not the AirTrain) as many times as you want/need for 7 days. At $2.75 a ride, that same $31.00 only gets you 11 rides. I didn't try this myself, but if you want to use a 7-day unlimited card around NYC, try buying THAT kind of card at JFK, and when you get the card, immediately add the $5.00 for exiting AirTrain (you won't get the additional 11%, but you won't need it). The first swipe will deduct that $5.00, and the second swipe won't deduct anything because you paid for unlimited use over 7 days.
I'll have to try that sometime. I always use the 7 day unlimited ride Metrocard when I go to NY. Even on a 4-6 day visit, I tend to swipe a card over 12 times. I usually fly into LaGuardia Airport & buy my Metrocard there before boarding a Q72 bus to get to Junction Blvd on the 7.
Evan Just learned that fare for local subway and bus will increase to $3 in March 2017. That means the price of a 7-day unlimited MetroCard could increase too.
Yes. The unlimited ride Metrocard will go up only by a little bit. $32 for 7-day card and $121 for the month card. I'll spend $33 instead of $32 for a new 7day card. That's fine with me.
David Thaler is there another option? Im going nyc for 3 days. London to jfk then newark international back to london. So air train will be required on both occasions....plus the option to use metro card on busses trains subways ferrries etc.
I plan on using this when I'm older since I live 3 hours away from NY but JFK is the only local airport that does international flying everywhere. I'm from Delaware, I would use the Wilmington train station.
It is much safer and much faster to take the Airtrain to Jamaica Station and switch to the LIRR (Long Island Railroad). And it only costs a few dollars more.
Yes, they do charge $5 to enter or exit at Jamaica station and Howard Beach station. Moving around terminals are free. We have access to the MTA bus from terminal 5, if you don't want to pay $5 for airtrain.
That was very cool to see what the JFK Airtram does. Next time do it for the LIRR and if you can show that old LIRR station looks like from within. That would be awesome.
I’ve been traveling back and forth from Charlotte, NC to Brooklyn Heights fairly regularly, and I’ve been doing a similar trip, slight change though. Terminal 8, AirTran, but to Howard Beach, then the A train to Metro Tech or High Street.
As of November 1, 2019 the Air Train fare is $7.75. No more bonus on Metrocards. $1.00 fee added to purchase of new Metrocards. Only four riders can use a regular Metrocard even if more money is on a card due to the bus transfer limit of four users.
Very helpful. I'm guessing that you wore some manner of helmet cam, and if so, you might consider a neck brace for your next video. ;-) Also, an on-screen narration of where you are going (and what signs to look for) would make it more clear. The airport is quite a labyrinth!
I DO NOT recommend going via Howard Beach cuz there are less routes + not every A goes to Howard Beach. I waited 25 mins for the train cuz I missed one when I was making it down to the platform. But 4 trains on another side drove through.
Did this last year. Jamaica was partly shut due to works so we were bused to another station on regular buses. It was hell with the luggage. Poorly signed and the most fragmented train system from airport to a major city I’ve ever seen.
Such a Damn Hassle to Connect to Air Train! In Chicago you have Two CTA Rail Lines that Serve The Two Airports... Blue Line: to O'Hare, from the Chicago Loop. Orange Line: to Midway, also from the Chicago Loop. & They Charge One Fare Direct to the Two Chicago Airports from the Loop & have a Transfer Connnection Around State & Lake for the Two Lines, as Well as Other CTA Rail Lines (Except the Yellow Line). San Francisco Airport (SFO) you have the Bart System & Runs You Around $10 & Change to Get to Downtown S.F. Oakland Airport: you have to Transfer to from a Main Bart Line to the Bart Airport Line & Like this Line you have to Pay Through the Nose to Transfer to the Airport Line in Oakland. Denver: you have to Pay More to take the Airport Line from Denver's Union Station to Denver's Airport (DIA). Cleveland: It's a Regular Fare to Downtown Cleveland from its Airport. Dallas: you have One DART Line that Serves Both Love Field & Dallas Ft.Worth (DFW) Seattle: From Downtown you Have Sound Transit Light Rail Serve the Sea-Tac Airport, the Fare Varies. Atlanta: MARTA Line, Regular Fare. D.C.: Now Two Separate D.C. Metro Lines that Serve the Two Airports, For Regan, it's the Yellow Line & for Dulles, I Think the Silver Line is Now Operating there? But the Fares, Mainly the Silver Line is way Higher. Baltimore: Downtown to BWI, Regular Fare on its Light Rail. St.Louis: Downtown to its Airport on Light Rail, Regular Fare. Here in L.A. Metro is Finishing Up the Last Leg Of Construction on the LAX/Crenshaw Line Set to Open Up Later this Year, that will Run from the E Line (Expo), & Tie in & Operate on the C Line (Green Line) All the Way to Norwalk Station, on a One Seat, One Ride. There is a Future Station at 96th St. & Will be Renamed Later & will be the Transfer Station for the LAX People Mover(Now Fully Under Construction) & LAX/Crenshaw Line & A Bus Plaza for Metro, BIg Blue Bus, Culver City, G-Trans (Gardena), Beach Cities Transit, Below. Until the LAX People Mover is Completed, in 2023, Rail Connections from Metro Will be Made at Century & Avation where Patrons can Catch a LAX Shuttle Bus to & From the LAX Terminal. But the People Mover Will be Free to Ride to & From the Terminal to the LAX/Crenshaw Line. With Air train & NYCMTA Subway Connections, it's a Damn Shame the Port Authority is Charging you Separate to Ride their System to the Subway in Howard Beach (Queens). Just Another Rip Off in NYC.
Thanks for the video, Nicole! I'm making a one-day trip from SFO to NYC for the first time in a looooooong time so your video is definitely information and helpful. I'm a visual person and I don't do well with printed instructions. :P
Do MTA machines give money change. I mean if i insert a $10 dollar bill for a $7.75 for airtrain + metro. Will I receive change or it doesn't work that way?
Great video! I'm visiting NYC with my family and we are 5 people. Do we have to buy a metrocard 7days unlimited for each people or we can use only 1 for all people, passing several times the metrocard on a single trip?
+Ana Padilha No, each one of you will need to buy a 7day unlimited ride metrocard. If you want to use a single metro card for several people, you will need to use it as a pay-per-ride metrocard, paying 2.75usd for each trip/person.
Love New York City its easy to get around that Jamaica station area it's save I have lived there and it's pretty save and its not the hood, the hood is a couple of blocks south. Just don't hang around alone looking like a tourist in the middle of the night and be with somebody.
Hi Nicole, Nice wee film :) I'm going to New York next xmas, And i'm staying near Madison Park on west 25th street. I will be looking to go to Pennsylvania Station from JFK via the Airtrain and Jamaica St. Can you advise me please? I'm mostly looking at how to buy tickets. Do you/Can you buy tickets in JFK or at Jamaica St etc. Thank you :) (peter from Scotland)
only reason the train is packed to the rafters is because its free. make the fare $6 everyone will disappear. train rides way smoother then the NY subway thats for sure.
Can I ask you a question? I've been told to buy the weekly subway ticket for 32-dollars ... I take it the 5- dollars you need to pay before you exit Jamaica Station isn't included on the weekly 32-dollar ticket? is it a separate ticket? Also where do I buy the 32-dollar weekly? can I buy it at the same machines shown in the video that you buy the 5-dollar Airtrain ticket from? 2 separate transactions on one of the machines?
+LTA PRODUCTIONS what money? the Port Authoirty is enterly self-sustating. it does not take one cent in tax dollars. the only way it can provides for itself is to charge for it's services.
+ Daniela Brenes Yes. When you get to the first Metrocard machine, you will need to put at least $7.75 on each card. ($5.00 for the AirTrain and $2.75 for the subway). Transfers within the subway system are free and unlimited. If you need to transfer to the bus network. one free transfer is allowed within 2 hours of paying your fare.
The only reason we have a high crime rate is because of tourists. In fact, if you look on the NYPD crime map, I think something like 75% of all crime happens in Times Square. Why is that? If you walk around with a map and a camera, it's literally the same as walking around telling people that your wallet is in your back left pocket and they can have it. Use a little common sense and absolutely nothing will happen to you. Don't keep your wallet in your back left pocket. Don't leave your backpack/luggage lying around out of sight.
I have to ask because I've never traveled & I'm supposed to real soon. Do I have to get on the Airtrian to get out of that airport even if someone comes to pick me up?
Is there a cheaper method of getting to the subway station rather than using the Airtrain? I'm quite happy to pay 5 dollars but is there a cheaper method?
+ irishfever1 You can take the Q-10 bus from JFK Terminal 5. The bus connects to the A, J and E/F lines. If you purchase a MetroCard before boarding the bus, your fare will be $2.75 including the subway transfer. Be sure to check a subway map to see which subway line brings you to your destination.
The J train stop at 121 St is one short block from the Q10 stop at Lefferts Bl and Jamaica Av. The J/Z line map shows the 121 St stop as a transfer point for airport service.
If I need a new metrocard to use the subway, do I need to buy a metrocard for the airtrain ticket and another for the subway or can I use just one card for both?
You only need one Metrocard for everything in NY. If you load $7.75 onto one card that will cover one $5 Airtrain fare and one $2.75 subway fare. No need for multiple cards.
I would , particularly if I were a woman, ride in the first carriage where the motorman is or the middle carriage where the conductor is. Stay in a well lit part of the station where there are many people. There should be plenty of people around at most stations at that hour of the evening. Don't flash your jeweler or money. Do be aware of your surroundings but don't stare. If something worrisome goes on you can get out onto the platform at the next stop and walk down a carriage or two and reboard the train or even wait for the next train.
Very late response, but… The E train from Jamaica is usually express in Queens and crosses into midtown Manhattan from east to west, before turning south. The A from Howard Beach is local in Queens, express in Brooklyn, and crosses into Manhattan’s southern tip. If you’re staying in midtown Manhattan, the E may be the faster ride. If you’re staying in downtown Brooklyn or downtown Manhattan, the A may be the faster ride. Amtrak doesn’t stop at either AirTrain station. However, the LIRR does serve Jamaica and will get you to midtown Manhattan a bit faster, and at higher cost, than the subway.
I enjoyed this look at how you should get to Manhattan from JFK. I liked it very much, especially traveling on the Airtrain. Are any of these videos available on DVD? I know I can't download UA-cam videos onto a blank DVD because of copyright issues. I wish UA-cam would start a new service in the near future, in which you pay to download videos onto DVD.
MrYounggunxxx I would approximate your ride to take anywhere from 1-2 hours, depending on traffic and other delays; hopefully you will have a safe journey and may God bless you ! 😉😀
Don't listen to that first reply, they were stupid and decided to take a cab into midtown. If you take a cab, yes, it can take up to three hours. Never take a cab unless you have a ton of luggage. Airtrain + LIRR would be about 35-40 minutes. Airtrain + E train would be about 40-50 minutes.
I love NYC but the subway station shown in the last part of this video looks freaky and creepy with those thugs and hoodlum looking men in heavy jackets. I notice that the security system is so untight.
it's most likely the way the station was shot. What "thugs" and "hoodlums"?? Implicit bias in action. I'm sure you could have found a better way to describe people waiting for the train. These people are most working class people going about their day.
Check out this video. It is much more detailed as to assist the people going to Midtown Manhattan, Lower Manhattan, Brooklyn areas, Staten Island, The Bronx, Westchester, Queens and Long Island. ua-cam.com/video/K-SLYjEqLQk/v-deo.html
Ralph Martinez Hmmm, he/she probably meant Mexican as in North American Spanish and not European Spanish/Catalan...there are minor differences and accents.
3506Dodge There are people of all walks of life and cultures , however our liberal government sees fit to only acknowledge a few native languages...NYC is a melting pot of immigrants and should really feature signs that translate (if necessary) to almost 250 languages.
Thinking of visiting New York next year, its a bit daunting finding my way around. Thanks for the video, very helpful.

+Nicole NY So they only charge once you get off the AirTrain to enter Jamaica station right?
Mar Cuerva Yes, but if you do the reverse trip, you have to pay $5.00 BEFORE boarding Air Train.
Thanks~~！

You only need one Metrocard for everything in NY. If you load $7.75 onto one card that will cover one $5 Airtrain fare and one $2.75 subway fare. No need for multiple cards.
Is it safe to travel between 8 and 9pm?
I would , particularly if I were a woman, ride in the first carriage where the motorman is or the middle carriage where the conductor is. Stay in a well lit part of the station where there are many people. There should be plenty of people around at most stations at that hour of the evening. Don't flash your jeweler or money. Do be aware of your surroundings but don't stare. If something worrisome goes on you can get out onto the platform at the next stop and walk down a carriage or two and reboard the train or even wait for the next train.
reminds me of gta 4 from franicis internal airport based on the real JFK airport to Star junction based on Manhattan
Has anyone here done the Airtrain to the Howard Beach subway station to Manhattan? Is it any faster than Airtrain to Jamaica to the subway or Amtrak?.
Very late response, but…
The E train from Jamaica is usually express in Queens and crosses into midtown Manhattan from east to west, before turning south. The A from Howard Beach is local in Queens, express in Brooklyn, and crosses into Manhattan’s southern tip. If you’re staying in midtown Manhattan, the E may be the faster ride. If you’re staying in downtown Brooklyn or downtown Manhattan, the A may be the faster ride.
Amtrak doesn’t stop at either AirTrain station. However, the LIRR does serve Jamaica and will get you to midtown Manhattan a bit faster, and at higher cost, than the subway.
Igual que en Argentina lpm, el tren para donde se le canta el or.to y no donde están las puertas de la estación.
That's what I wish, too. Or,at least the airtrain goes to Manhattan. So, annoying.
hello pen station to astoria subay new York merci pour la vidéo
I enjoyed this look at how you should get to Manhattan from JFK. I liked it very much, especially traveling on the Airtrain. Are any of these videos available on DVD? I know I can't download UA-cam videos onto a blank DVD because of copyright issues. I wish UA-cam would start a new service in the near future, in which you pay to download videos onto DVD.
Brian Skafica just download the video what's the problem. You won't go to jail seriously.
Did this once coming back from my only trip to Europe. Exhausted and confused, this was no fun at all.
Sorry to hear that....
Hi Nicole, where you from?
Machine will give us change but all with coins.
and how long does it actually take you to get from jfk to midtown?
MrYounggunxxx I would approximate your ride to take anywhere from 1-2 hours, depending on traffic and other delays; hopefully you will have a safe journey and may God bless you ! 😉😀
During non-rush hour, I have made the trip in 42 minutes or so.
Don't listen to that first reply, they were stupid and decided to take a cab into midtown.
If you take a cab, yes, it can take up to three hours. Never take a cab unless you have a ton of luggage.
Airtrain + LIRR would be about 35-40 minutes.
Airtrain + E train would be about 40-50 minutes.
Henry Black thx
So if I have already pre paid for a 7 day metro card, I will only need to pay the $5 Airtrain to Jamica fare will I?
Rebekah A i was just thinking the same. And how did You do with this case ?
uhhh yo quería ver como llegan a New York 😕
Queen
I rather take the long island railroad to make Manhattan its much fast than the subway trains
Do not take the yellow cab,i was charge 70 usd from JFK to Queens Flushing
jerry yeow o
Whyyy...
Take the $5 Airtrain and pay $2.75 for the Q25 MTA bus to Flushing. Or take the E and transfer to the 7 at Jackson Heights.
That taxi driver saw you coming 😂
Can i use a 7-Day MetroCard for the Airtrain, from Howard beach to Terminal 4?
+jayhawk “ItzzTjDj” medlock No web.mta.info/metrocard/where_accept.htm
jayhawk medlock no ..!! U have to get the air train ticket ..!!
And to think that someone who couldn't even slide a metro card could have been running the United States.
why no talking, commentary on this video
I love NYC but the subway station shown in the last part of this video looks freaky and creepy with those thugs and hoodlum looking men in heavy jackets. I notice that the security system is so untight.
it's most likely the way the station was shot. What "thugs" and "hoodlums"?? Implicit bias in action. I'm sure you could have found a better way to describe people waiting for the train. These people are most working class people going about their day.
You're a POS.
New yorkin Helsinki lento suoraa

uumm...ok!

Um, rent a car at the airport and forget having to smell all the riff raff.
joe stewart That’s expensive and inconvenient. Driving and trying to park in Manhattan is a nightmare.

Why are the signs in Mexican, but not Chinese, Portugese, Hindi, or Arabic?
+3506Dodge There are certainly more Chinese and Arabic speaking people using JFK than Spanish speakers.
3506Dodge lol in mexican??? that's Spanish
Ralph Martinez Hmmm, he/she probably meant Mexican as in North American Spanish and not European Spanish/Catalan...there are minor differences and accents.
3506Dodge There are people of all walks of life and cultures , however our liberal government sees fit to only acknowledge a few native languages...NYC is a melting pot of immigrants and should really feature signs that translate (if necessary) to almost 250 languages.
Mexican isn't a language
