Hey everyone I'm from Canada and have never been to New York. We are flying into JFK and we need to get to Newark airport to take a shuttle to our hotel. Does anyone know the best way to do this? via GCS perhaps? Any help would be appreciated!

Can't wait for those two shows!

    from JFK take the blue A train subway into mahanttan.

    I'm wondering ... is there a reason you didn't fly directly to Newark?

    This trek is gonna kind of be a pain in the ass for you, but it can be done.

    damn
    thats a real pain in the ass
    you may want to contact some car services in NYC and see if they have some kind of an airport transfer special
    I wouldnt wantr to lug all my stuff on the train into penn then another train to newark
    where are you staying
    it may be easier to take a path if your staying in hoboken or jersey city for example
    Im a million miles away from home and I cant find a telephone...

    there's definitely a better way.
    where are you staying?
    Can you switch your flight to newark?

    Is your hotel in Newark? This just doesn't seem to make sense.

    Yeah it is kind of jackass, but it was much cheaper to fly into JFK and stay at the Four Points near Newark airport than to fly directly into Newark.

    Thanks for all your help, we have figured it out now.

    Link to NYC Subway Map: http://www.mta.info/nyct/maps/submap.htm

    From JFK you can get on the AirTrain to either Howard Beach to get the A Train. Or take the train to Jamaica Station to get the E train to midtown, which may be faster, not sure since I don't know the hotel stanford.
