Crap, I didn't know the AirTrain was $5. I was planning to use it on my JFK trip next week. Having taken the Q10 bus before for $2 (a hefty 1/3 price increase from last year I might add), I suppose I will once again take the Q10 bus (or Q3, whichever shows up first).

If I were actually going to downtown Jamaica, $5 might be worth it. But paying $5 for the privilege of entering a subway station from the outside? At the very least the $5 should give you a free transfer to the subway (after all, you can pay the $5 by Metrocard, so it's not that hard to implement). Take the Q10 or Q3 bus and you pay $3 less to start and you get a free transfer to the subway!
