Hmm, I think most people typically shower every 24 hours (either first thing in the morning or last thing in the evening), so even if it's 4 hours on transit plus 2 hours in the airport plus 7 hours on the plane (day flight) plus 1 hour to the ground destination, that's 14 hours and within a normal day between showers.


Amtrak+LIRR+AirTrain sounds typical if coming from somewhere outside NYC. LIRR+AirTrain is a normal transit method to JFK from within NYC (e.g., Penn Station).
I cant do public transportation when heading to an airport. Cant risk being in a hot train,subway bus, etc. Too close too ppl. Need to be Cold not hot before flying. Always take Uber with request for blasting AC which is already on my profile always. Absolutely hate being hot or sweaty. Upon arrival if heading to hotel and can shower I dont mind it but I tend to just want to take an uber and get to where i am going. Although maybe in NYC of all places I should try the routing mentioned above. However just seems like a headache from JfK to midtown when i can do an Uber. I miss that helicopter United had a while back, I enjoyed that. Sorry maybe it was Continental that had it, from Newark for sure.

One shower per 24 hours thats insane. But they dont call me Shower King for nothing lol. I do an immediate shower upon waking up just to heat up my back and lossen up. No soap or shampoo or anything. Then I surf. Then post surf jacuzzi and then a real shower (soap, shampool, etc)........Then go on with my day. Lunch, work, home.. 2nd jacuzzi session of the day, elliptical for an hour, another real shower and then dinner. I love showering, and jacuzzi so between the 2 of them i am in 5 a day. And i shower at every lounge pre flight, for transcon and international flights......... Probably way more info than anyone needed......... Kind of bored. Supposed to be in Hong Kong and Singapore as I write this Uggh
