At the cost of a somewhat higher fare and ten minutes of additional walking, you can take the long island railroad from Penn station to Jamaica to get the air train; this should be between five and ten minutes quicker.

@phoog You still have to get from Port Authority to Penn Station, which eats that 5-10 minutes up entirely. Seems kind of pointless.

When you arrive on Greyhound in NYC, you will be in one of the underground levels of the Port Authority bus terminal. From here, take the escalators one level up to the subway level. The lower level is somewhat sloped; the escalators you want are uphill at the far (highest) end of the level. On the subway level you can purchase a MetroCard to pay your subway and AirTrain fares, if you don't already have one, or top one up if you do. Then enter the subway system.
At the Port Authority subway station, you will take the E train toward Jamaica Center ($2.75), and exit at the next-to-last stop, Sutphin Blvd/Archer Av.
At Sutphin Blvd/Archer Av, you will change to the Jamaica AirTrain ($5) to JFK Airport. Follow the overhead signs to the JFK AirTrain. The AirTrain stops at all terminals; exit the train at your departure terminal.

E train is faster but you can do A train to Rockaway too.

I took the J to Sutphin for the AirTrain the other week - it was a really easy, clearly signposted, and fairly short walk between them. No danger of getting lost (especially since plenty of other people on the train will be doing the same thing)

If you can't afford, or don't want to pay the $5 for the Air Train, you can take the 'A' train from the port authority stop to Lefferts Boulevard. Get on a Downtown/Brooklyn Bound A train.

Once there, you can take a Q10 bus. You can see this bus on the subway map. There are other buses too.
Keep in mind that while this will save you only a dollar or two, it might take a little longer. But if you have a long wait between the bus and flight, and time to kill, this is a good option.

At the cost of a somewhat higher fare and ten minutes of additional walking, you can take the long island railroad from Penn station to Jamaica to get the air train; this should be between five and ten minutes quicker.

Jul 19 '16 at 4:26
@phoog You still have to get from Port Authority to Penn Station, which eats that 5-10 minutes up entirely. Seems kind of pointless.
