There is a clean, safe, and incredibly cheap public transit route that saves you a fortune, especially if you are traveling with family. The Step by Step RouteAirTrain to Jamaica Station: Hop on the JFK AirTrain right from your terminal. It is free to ride between terminals, and you pay $8.25 per person to exit at Jamaica Station. Long Island Railroad (LIRR): Transfer to the LIRR at Jamaica Station. These big silver train cars are clean, safe, and have plenty of room for your cruise luggage. Buy your tickets on the app or at a kiosk before boarding for $5.25 per person to avoid onboard penalties. Manhattan Arrival: Take the 20 to 30 minute ride straight into the heart of Manhattan at either Penn Station or Grand Central Station, depending on which is closer to your hotel.
