Train Directions

- If you plan on taking the train, please download the MTA TrainTime App in advance. This will be used for your tickets. Do not purchase in advance.

Arriving to JFK

- Once you have landed and arrived at baggage claim, follow the signs that will direct you to the "AirTrain."

- No ticket is necessary as payment is taken by "Tap to Pay" upon arrival.

- Take the train to Jamaica Train Station (10-15 mins)

- Once you exit the train you will walk to Jamaica Train Station.

- On the way you will pass a payment area. Simply tap your credit card to pay. MTA cards are no longer needed.

Jamaica Train Station to your Destination.

- Now you have arrived at Jamaica Train Station. You will now be taking the Long Island Railroad to Ronkonkoma.

- Take out your MTATrainTime app and check the arrival time of your train. Enter Origin station as Jamaica and Destination as Ronkonkoma.

*you can also take the train to Central Islip, however not all Ronkonkoma trains stop at Central Islip so you will have more options if you put the Origin in as Ronkonkoma

- Once your train is 10 minutes away, the app will be updated with the track the train will be on. This will also be updated on the boards/speakers at the station.

- Upon entering your train, please now purchase tickets in the app.

- Now that you have entered the train, please activate your ticket in the app and show it to the ticket collector once requested.

- Last step, don't miss your stop!

*****TIPS*****

- In the APP it will advise if your train is on peak or off peak. If your train is Off Peak you will save some money so do not buy an on peak ticket unless required.

- If you are traveling with another person, it is cheaper to buy a round trip ticket rather than 2 solo rides. A round trip simply gives you 2 solo tickets. So split the round trip both ways.
