Question What is the cheapest way to get from JFK to Stamford, CT?
Answer It will cost you $21 (or $24 if travelling during rush hour) and 2 to 3 hours.
* Air-Train (stops in front of each terminal) to Jamaica Center ($5)
* E Subway to Lexington/53rd then free transfer to 6 Subway to Grand Central Station ($2)
* Metro-North Railroad to Stamford ($14-$17)
As an alternative to Air-Train / subway combo, you can take an Airport Express Bus from the airport direct to Grand Central ($15).
Hope you don't have a lot luggage -- you'll have a decent amount of walking to do at the transfers and some stairs.
