1. Take the Q10 bus to Kew Gardens and the E or F subway train to Lexington Ave. Exit at 53rd St. and Third Ave. - $2

2. Take the Howard Beach shuttle bus to the A train subway stop at Howard Beach, then the A train to 42nd St. then the E train to Lexington Ave. - $2

3. Taxi - $35 + tip

You can also take the B15 to New Lots avenue and take the Number 3 (ex-IRT) train to Manhattan. Convenient if your destination is the along the route of the 1/2/3/9 trains in the city.

Does the Q10 offer transfers to the subway? If not, persons arriving without a MetroCard will have to pay another $2 to enter the subway at Kew Gardens.</font>
Yes, the Q10 (operated by Green Bus Lines), is part of the MTA transfer system. The problem, I suspect, is that you have to have a metrocard to transfer to the subway; I don't think the bus transfers work on the subway. That would also be the case with the Q3 and the B15. There might be a newsstand at JFK that sells metrocards. Otherwise the free (until November, supposedly) shuttle bus to Howard Beach is the best bet; you can get a metrocard at the subway booth there.
I had forgotten about the Q3 until another poster mentioned it. In fact, it is the fastest (by about 5 minutes) connection to a subway station, followed by the Q10 and the B15.
