    I think the fixed fare is $52 plus tolls (and tip of course).

    hi
    we have booked up there for 3 nights but in june so not long now for us , i do like the location of the hotel, though its a drag from the airport though!

    Can you not get the airport link to Jamaica, then a direct train on the E Line to 7th and 5rd?

    I think your post may have suffered from autocorrect, but you can get to Coney Island by subway. The subway station is Coney Island - Stillwell Avenue, and it's at the end of the D,F,N & Q train lines.

    All of those can be taken from 34th St / Herald Sq station, which is near your hotel if the Wyndham you refer to up-thread is the Wingate by Wyndham on W 35th.

    Just to add to what SW17 said just be prepared, it can be a fairly lengthy journey - took me around an hour if my memory serves me right! Not that it's not an interesting journey, particularly once you get out to Brooklyn & beyond (it goes above ground) but just that it can take a bit of time.
    Retired member - fed up with the general tone of the place.
