We had morning coffee at Cake and the Beanstalk, before starting our adventure. After a quick walk to the subway, riding to Megabus, we missed the 30th St. subway stop. Coffee had not kicked in yet, so David thought we needed to get off at 34th St. to get to 30th St. station. Which we did, then got right back on to go one stop back.
Megabus left on time, so we were in NYC by 11:50. A short walk up the 7th Ave. got us to Penn station. Being at Penn station for the first time was confusing, getting the ticket on LIRR to Jamaica station was super easy but figuring out which train to take took a bit of head scratching. You buy tickets to a stop but it's not clearly marked which trains go there.
We took Long Island line, Jamaica is the first stop (about 20 min ride). Track number was announced right before boarding, we ran with the crowd. At Jamaica station we got on AirTrain that took us to our terminal.
With just one mishap at subway, only because it was still too early for us, getting to JFK from Philly by public transport is quick, efficient and fairly inexpensive.
For both of us:
subway $3.10
mega bus $22
LIRR $12.50
AirTrain $10
Thanks to our efficient planning and slight paranoia over being late, we had 4 hours to kill at the airport. We looked for the LOT check-in but were so early that there were no signs for the airline at the check-in counter. After a quick meal and someone fainting in the check-in line, we got through security painlessly. Finally on the plane (since we checked-in online the night before and switched our seats) together.
