There are a number of ways to get to Manhattan from JFK. A reliable way to get to the downtown area of the Big Apple is to take the AirTrain JFK, which connects all terminals to the New York City Subway (Howard Beach–JFK Airport or Jamaica stations), which will take you across the East River to Manhattan. The trip costs around $8.50 (€7) (about $6 (€5) to enter the AirTrain and about $2.50 (€2) to ride the subway) and takes 1h, more or less. Buses, taxis, and e-hailing services are available, but New York traffic often has snarl-ups so the subway is a wise choice.
