My initial thought was that starting on an E train would be fastest, but you make a good point about the same track transfer. I hadn't considered that. I'm actually a couple blocks uptown from W4th, technically 14th/6 Ave is the closer station for me, so starting on an F train is easier too.



Direct rail connection involves transferring F to E at Queens Plaza or Forest Hills (or any of the shared trackage express stops along Queens Blvd). I find I lose a lot of time either waiting for scheduled service (NJTransit/LIRR) or transferring (NJTransit/LIRR to subway, or subway to subway).

I'm more thinking ahead to if/when JFK AirTrain adds OMNY anyway, as I'm more or less committed to UA through the rest of the year.
