My heart sank for a minute cuz I'm going to JFK in a few but I'm taking the A

Edit: it's a shit show from Howard Beach. Delays on the AirTran, then you need to transfer at Federal Circle for a Jamaica Air Train. That's how you get to the terminals. Obviosuly packed, people can't get on the first train that comes.

It will still suck a bit though because I’m assuming you have luggage, and the subway will likely be extra packed because of all of the people who would of taken the E train.

Can confirm. Airtrain wait was 20 minutes.

I immediately was able to board the transfer though.

Am I missing something? Doesn’t Howard beach also take you straight to the terminals? Why do you need to switch onto a Jamaica train when at Federal Circle?

The Howard Beach train had delays.

Then when it came it didn't go to the terminals. We had to stop at Federal Circle and then go upstairs to the third floor to catch another train. That train was the train bound for Jamaica (per the announcements) but it was passing through the terminals first.
