Hi
Can anyone advise the quickest and cheapest means of transport from JFK to Times Square?

Bus is around €30 round trip
Airtrain looks your best bet

I don't know about the quickest, but the cheapest would be to walk ...... sorry, but I just couldn't resist ...... I'll just grab my coat and leave :P

Thanks for that - the bus looks like a good option as our hotel is near grand central

the subway and airlink look confusing

I've been to NYC several times, byt have always been met

the system is free within the airport, and you pay to leave the system outside the airport. when you pay to leave, you can buy an onward subway or train ticket in one transaction, and the ticket machines take us cash and credit cards.

however, neither the LIRR or the subway will take you to Grand Central without a transfer en-route - if you've a lot of luggage, probably not a good idea.

I`d get the hotel shuttle bus. Airtrain will take you to Penn Station and you`ll have to get the subway. NY subway is horrible (like an unfinished tunnel with steel girders everywhere) imo. If there`s a few of you, you might as well get a cab $45
