Make sure you are getting on the correct side of the platform depending on where you're going.check the schedules as not every line stops here. There are ticket kiosks and an indoor waiting area. It's alway better to get your tickets before you get on the train. This is usually the first or last stop before or after Penn Station. Easy ride.

When ever I take the LLIR over there the trains are on time ,its a plus to get to Manhattan or Brooklyn faster then the regular mta subway. Plus you dont have to deal with the rift raff that comes with riding the regular train.it may cost you a little more, but it worth the peace of mind. Dont forget about the amazing looking architecture that really makes for some awesome scenery and a good back drop for taking pictures. This station has to be one of the most nicer looking station in nyc .very historic and if you are in to old infrastructure this is a place to visit. This station is definitely a queens landmark that separates itself from all the rest.

Anyways, the air train is like a bullet train and zooms and curves a lot above ground from terminal to terminal. There are 8 terminals at JFK so you got to make sure you read the signs on the train and get off at the correct terminal. Limited seating on the air train but there's a lot of space to stand with your luggage.

The Airtrain Jamaica station is one of two air train stations that connects the NY subway system…read moreinto the airtrain station, which will take one into JFK airport. The cost (2026) is $8.75 for a one-way trip and is paid at this station (upon exit if coming from the airport, and upon entry if going to the airport). The station now accepts tap-to-pay (using any tap enabled credit card) to pay for your toll (just like the subway system). The cost is not a part of the $35 7-day rolling cap for using the subway system Trains from this station run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and we found the cars to be modern and well air conditioned, though it doesn't have luggage racks and not much seating, so good chance what one would be standing with their luggage. It took about 20 minutes one-way from Terminal 4 to this station. The station lets you off at the upper level, thus requiring an escalator to get to ground level. From there , one needs to take a street-level open-air walk (maybe 5 min) to get to NY subway station 'Sutphin Blvd-Archer Av-JFK Airport' (servicing E, J, Z subway lines). We reversed direction when going back to the airport after our trip, getting to Sutphin by taking the E train, and then walking on the sidewalk to get back here. From there, one pays the $8.75 toll to enter and go upstairs to catch the airtrain. Once on the train, one can get to all active airport terminals and Federal Circle stop (rental cars, hotel shuttles). It took the same 20 minutes to get to Terminal 4, once on the train. The other Airtrain station is Howard Beach. That train also stops at active terminals (1, 4, 5, 7, 8) and services Federal Circle, Lefferts Blvd (long term parking and local NYC buses) and Howard Beach Station (connection to NYC subway A Train). We found that both the A and E subway lines will connect you into Manhattan, but E seems to be a bit faster.

I was taking the LIRR early Monday morning to visit my brother in Long Island. My go-to station…read morehad always been Penn, but Monday's train originated from Grand Central Madison. I'd never been -- the station is only three years old -- so I stopped by Sunday to (pardon the expression) 'case the joint out.' Good thing! I entered at Grand Central Station, followed signs and walked. Then walked some more. Took escalators, maybe an elevator. Finally ended up at ticketing. I don't think I would have allotted enough time if I hadn't known the layout beforehand. It was off hour. Not many people there. The customer service rep, a wonderful woman named Heather, wanted to make sure I knew what I was doing. She actually left her post to show me the tracks and helped me get my bearings. (Guess what! Heather was there Monday morning when I returned. I felt like I was seeing an old friend!) Here's a tip for everyone: If you don't want to deal with the underground labyrinth, look for the elevator on Madison off 47th Street. It'll take you directly down to ticketing and the waiting area. And specifically for older folks: To reap the senior discount, purchase your tickets the day of your trip, not before. There's no upcharge to buy tickets on the train. If I heard correctly, senior fares are the same for peak and off-peak -- but don't quote me on that! This station is light, bright, much quieter than Penn. Bathrooms are infinitely better. Now that I know what I'm doing, this may become my station of choice.

Beneath her home at The Dakota, these wonderful 2018 underground "SKY" mosaics present calming blue skies with puffs of soft clouds taken from her photos and incorporate handwritten thought-provoking words that tie into her own work as an artist and also connect with the messages of John Lennon, her late husband. They are the perfect imagery to stop and reflect. In addition to the mosaics, you'll notice digital signage and other renovations also made in 2018. Nevertheless, the MTA SHAMEFULLY DID NOT INSTALL ANY ELEVATORS - OUTRAGEOUS, considering that this station abuts Central Park!

Indeed, I agree with fellow Yelper Marianne W. as I also had to search this station in my Yelp mobile application for a check-in. The platforms have the original artisan mosaic name tablets written "72ND ST." in white sans-serif lettering on a midnight blue background and black border, as well as small "72" tile captions in white numbering. There are also directional signage with arrows "DOWNTOWN" which I admire, appreciate and value artisan skilled trade tile setter when the MTA NYC subway system was built. There are wooden benches available. This station is not ADA accessible. This station contains two underground basement levels including a mezzanine level. The mezzanine level contain fare control area, station agent booth, MetroCard and OMNY machines. The station facade contain a green globe indicating a 24/7 hour token booth with a station agent for access to the station. The 72nd Street is the closest station to both the Dakota apartment building (which is immediately outside the station) and the Strawberry Fields memorial in Central Park.
