Hi everyone.

Thanks for the prompt replies!

I was just thinking of the cheapest way, and if we car pool it saves them some money. (since they have an unlimited Metrocard)
Plus, I am familiar with both the F and 7 (I live in Douglaston) so I can estimate the travel time for their subway.

Do I have to use a rental car? Nope, but coming from home, thats the easiest. I can pick up a rental and use my free day for it. (instead of paying $40 for a taxi).
Theres no real subway near me, I would have to take a bus to get to either the F or 7

E to the Airtrain? hmmm didnt know about that.
They will be coming from Grand Central, and the 7 is right there.
Or they could walk to the F train at 47-50.

Ok....so:
1. My options is either rental car (using points) or pay $40 for a taxi. Since Im not near a subway. So I think I will get the rental. I dont use my rental points much anyway.

2. My friend's option. Sounds like E to the airtrain is best. Since the E and F travel along the same line mostly. So E to Suptin station.
How long would the trip from 47-50 rockefeller to the terminal be?
50 minutes E train ride...plus airtrain?

Thanks!
