JFK connecting between terminals
 

My parents will be arriving at JFK T3 on Comair, and leaving from T4 on Air India. I see the options listed on the JFK site, and ages ago I remember walking between adjacent terminals. They are in their 70s and generally get around well. What's the best way to connect? What isn't clear about the Airtrain is whether when connecting between terminals you have to take the inner track going the long way around. They have about four hours to connect.

They'll just have two hours to connect the other way on the return. Is there a way to expedite the transfer, such as arranging Autolink?

Traveling from T3 to T4, the OUTER track AirTrain (bound for either Jamaica or Howard Beach stations) is the one to take. T4 is the next stop on these trains. (The outer- track trains serve the terminals in ASCENDING numerical order from T1 to T8/9 before heading to Jamaica or Howard Beach; the inner-track trains serve the terminals in DESCENDING numerical order from T8/9 to T1 and then travel from T1 to T8/9 to start the loop anew.) I'm sure it's possible to walk from T3 to T4; I'm not sure that I would recommend it, though, especially with the availability of a free AirTrain.

As to Autolink, you'll have to check with their carrier to see if it's available to them. I thought it was only available to the disabled. (And it might not be any faster than AirTrain anyway,)
