- Connection point from the NYC subway (A train) to JFK airport AirTrain. Use your Metrocard for both. This is the terminal point of the AirTrain so all AirTrains take you to airport from here.

- Heading to JFK? Walk over to the Lefferts Blvd AirTrain station to avoid paying the $5. It's about a 5 min walk.
- after exiting Airtrain, before entering the metro, instead of the $7.25 combo ticket, buy a $5 Airtrain only ticket, and a separate metro ticket (e.g. 7 day unlimited).
