Best way for me to get to JFK tomorrow?
Ok, I have a flight at JFK tomorrow at 7:45pm.
I will have a rental car and I need to pick someone up from the subway around 5:30.
So I am thinking:
Meet them at 5:30. Get to JFK by 6:30. Return the rental car and take the air train to the terminal. Get to the terminal by 6:45 and get through security by 7:15, which gets me to the gate when they are ready to board.
Cutting it too close?
Here are my options
1. Meet in Flushing (7 train) at 5:30 and then take the Van Wyck.
or
2. Meet at the F train (179st), then take the Cross Island.
Cons for each:
Option 1 - I heard the Van Wyck at that time is horrible, barely moving.
Option 2 - Flushing is already half way to JFK. If I meet at 179st, then I have to drive away from JFK to get back to the Cross Island.
So which option is best?
Thank you!
