Getting to JFK

The AirTrain connects JFK to the NYC subway and Long Island Rail Road at Jamaica Station (Howard Beach is the other connection point). Subway fare plus AirTrain totals $9.25 from midtown Manhattan; allow 60–75 minutes. LIRR from Penn Station takes 25–30 minutes to Jamaica, then 8–10 minutes on AirTrain; total fare around $10–15 depending on time of day.Taxis from Manhattan to JFK are a flat rate of $70 plus tolls and tip ($85–95 all-in). Ride-shares cost $45–80 depending on traffic and time of day. A dedicated express rail (JFK Connect) has been proposed but does not exist yet.

Getting from BKK

Airport Rail Link runs to Phaya Thai in 30 minutes (฿45). Runs 6am to midnight. Connect to BTS Skytrain at Phaya Thai for onward travel to Sukhumvit, Silom, or Siam.Taxis from the arrivals level are metered; add the ฿50 airport surcharge and expressway tolls to the meter reading. Total to central Bangkok typically ฿300–450. Grab is reliable and avoids negotiation. Limousine services (฿800–1,500) are available from the arrival hall. Buses are cheap but slow given Bangkok's traffic.

Bangkok Climate

Tropical monsoon climate. Hot season (March–May) reaches 38–40°C with high humidity. Wet season (May–October) brings daily heavy rains and occasional flooding. Thunderstorms cause flight delays regularly. Suvarnabhumi sits in a flood-prone area east of Bangkok. The 2011 floods came close to the airport perimeter.

Cool season (November–February) is the most comfortable for travel (25–32°C) with lower humidity and good flying weather. Haze from agricultural burning occasionally reduces visibility in March–April.

Check current weather forecasts before travel.
