Connect To AirTrain From Local Trains and Subways
There are a few ways to get to AirTrain from Midtown Manhattan. Here
are the most direct routes:

is a major transportation hub offering connections from New
York City subways and buses, the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR), AmtrakŪ
and NJ TRANSITŪ. |
| • |
At Penn Station take an LIRR train to Jamaica Station. Not every train
stops at Jamaica Station, so be sure to refer to an LIRR schedule. |
Or,
| • |
Take the E subway to the Sutphin Blvd-Archer Ave
stop. |
How To Transfer To AirTrain At Jamaica Station

Buying a ticket
Connect to AirTrain with a Pay-Per-Ride MetroCard with at least $5
in value. You can buy a MetroCard at Jamaica Station,
as well as at
any subway station, LIRR station, and at MetroCard vendors throughout
New York City.
You must also pay the separate fare for LIRR or subway service. We
recommend that you purchase your LIRR ticket before you board the
train.
You may purchase a single Pay-Per-Ride MetroCard for $7 to pay both the $2 subway
fare and the $5 AirTrain fee.
