Or if you're riding the AirTrain more than 5 times in six months, buy the special $25 10-trip Airtrain metrocard (which is good for 6 months).
1- I had no idea that 1 could a 15% bonus on any amount from $8 up. (think before the last increase it was a 20% bonus)
2- yea that 10 tripper would be good, I didnt know about it
. Only I dont usually fly out of JFK , usually PHL,EWR or LGA. Had 1 trip in Sept and 1 last week out of JFK. Have 1 tommorrow another in 3 weeks and 1 early Dec, so I will look into it as even if its only used for 2 1/2 trips its brake even. I take it that it can only be used 1 time within x amount of time? or can it be swiped for 2 different people to go thru 1 after the other? I would think not least someone buy them and then sell the ride for less then $5 to others
gotta LOVE this site
As much as I love HB for free parking (LGA as well) in the Winter time Id rather not come back and have to dig out the car from the snow that fell when I was away, happened 1 time an dthat was 1 time too many. So then its parking valet at PHL or EWR for $10 a day or less. I see it as an ins policy, sometimes I win (it snowed) other times I lost (it didnt)
