A comment on Where the New York City Subway Doesn't Go.

The author is misleading about lack of subway access to JFK airport. I have traveled many times to JFK by subway. He is technically correct that the subway does not tunnel underneath JFK and does not go to terminals. However, you take the A train and then hop onto the AirTrain provided by JFK to get to the terminal.

You can also take the LIRR from Atlantic Terminal in Brooklyn to JFK and it's really easy and convenient.

Yup. Three major lines (BMT Nassau, IND Sixth Ave, IND Eighth Ave) converge in Jamaica, where it's only a few minutes' walk to transfer to the AirTrain to JFK. I've never had a problem getting to/from JFK via train, but LGA is a little tougher (though the increased 125th St. bus service has helped a lot).

Yeah, they're not counting AirTrain. You can get to it from the J, the E, and the A, actually.
