Do people actually like the air train? I've never heard anyone say they'd prefer it over a subway that actually went to JFK. (and the increased cost/inability to use OMNY is ridiculous)


I find it very silly that tourists need to buy a MetroCard just for the transfer from the AirTrain to the metro, and then never need it again afterwards because of OMNY.


Agreed . That is ridiculous. I encountered the same experience .


Definitely, my wife went to JFK this week and instead of taking the A to Howard Beach she went to Atlantic for the LIRR to Jamaica and AirTram from there.

Faster and nicer.


Much agreed. I far prefer LIRR+Airtrain rather than taking the noisy and rickety subway.

Note the helpful Cityticket discount fare on LIRR as well!


any form of new transportation is a welcome experience
