what about the Metro North to Grand Central and the JFK Bus Service form 41st and Park?
For shared van, All County Express is &75/person

No direct bus service. Best choice is shuttle bus ($17?) to Grand Central and then MetroNorth.
If you really want to save money you could do AirTrain to subway and save $10 - but the trip would be excrutiating.

metro north goes into grand central.
you will have to cross town once there to get to penn station on the east side to get a train (long island railroad to jamaica, from there you can take the air tran to your terminal) or subway (the e line).

Have you investigated a 1-way car rental? Sometimes that's the most economical way when you live in the burbs, especially if there is more than one person. And faster than the above mass transit options.

If the intention is to reach the AirTrain, from Grand Central, take the 6 train (subway) uptown to 51st Street and transfer to the E train to Jamaica Station, which connects to the Air Train.
Taking the subway would be tedious for many, because of multiple connections and possible flights of stairs.
To my mind, the BEST option is still MetroNorth to Grand Central, walk across the street and take the JFK Bus Service, which goes directly to each airlinie terminal.

agreed - best intersection of time and money if you're trying to economize. we've done it many times to westchester.

right, there is the 51st street option for the e.
thank you howard for bringing up the time issue.
either way this will take longer than you might think, please prepare yourself with alot of extra time. good luck.
