>There are no buses at the airport train station, you cannot access the street

I would be entering the airport via air train and would then find a bus at a terminal.

>The new terminal will be a 15 minute walk from the airtrain, which in turn is 12 minutes for the airport train station

This is a really big issue. I assumed they would have transportation lined up // connected

>The 62 runs 24/7

The 62 goes to the Airport right? So I could technically take the 62 to Terminal C, and then catch a 107 or 37 to my house

Airtrain is really shit after 10pm. Single tracking, every 15 minutes.

Your port authority dollars in action

Yes. I would double check that the 1 (Ivy Hill) or the 25 (Irvington) work for you, as they also run late and run from Penn.

Oh wow I wasn't even thinking about those since I'm pretty sure they depart from the market street side of Penn Station

You might wanna try https://transitapp.com. If you're still looking at individual buses or trains or whatever, you're probably trying too hard at this point.

I think someone later brought up better fits for you, but honestly, I never take the train to the airport. It's expensive, and counting the AirTrain, it's slower/more work. Someone either here or on Facebook disagreed with me, and I'm coming from Broad/Raymond and not Penn Station, but given the AirTrain time vs. getting off right at the terminal, plus how often it runs... I think it's a wash. I've only ever hit serious traffic on Saturday afternoon, but obviously one car crash can change that.
