I suppose best would be a car service.

So this is the Sheraton in Downtown Brooklyn? If you can afford it take a taxi. There aren't any really good transit options. If that's not an option for you, then I guess take the A train to Jay Street. That will take longer and require a few blocks of walking, but it will cost a third of what a taxi costs.

You have to define "best".

Best - being picked up by friend or relative

Private limo - next best and most costly but easiest of "paying" options

Car service - less costly than a limo but almost as good

Taxi - Less costly than car service, convenient but sometimes requires waiting in line.

Bus or combination of bus, train and/or subway - much less expensive then other options but very time consuming.

Walking - cheapest, least convenient and time wasting. May not be safest way to travel.

Seriously, go to these websites to learn all about the various options for getting to/from JFK Airport. Everything you need to know is there. Pick the one that works best for you.

To get to an area next to Greenwood cemetery we usually take a taxi which will cost about $60 metered. A car service from Brooklyn to JFK will cost about $40.

If you decide on car service, Google car services located in Brooklyn and call them for price information. Don't take one of the Manhattan car services that are frequently mentioned on this board.
