Best way to get to Times Square from JFK airport?

Traveling into JFK & need to know the best ways to get to our hotel from there. I've read a couple different ways like a cab or taking the Airtrain

A cab is expensive and will get caught in traffic. Rail is a much better option, cheaper and faster.

Air Train to the LIRR to Penn Station and then walking or a cab (or walking to another subway line) or Air Train to the subway system. The MTA website can help you plan.

Air Train to Jamaica Station and then the E into PABT

The fastest and the cheapest way: AirTrain to Jamaica Station and then Manhattan-bound E train to 42nd Street - Port Authority Bus Terminal Station, which on 8th Avenue and 42 Street, one block west of Times Square. If you don't want to walk that one block, at Queens Plaza station you can transfer across the platform to the Manhattan-bound R train which stops at Times Square.

The 42 Street-PABT and the Times Square Station are connected by a free transfer underground corridor. There are elevators at the Jamaica Station, 42 Street Station and at the Times Square Station for easy access with luggage.

Some of the better hotels provide a courtesy car or bus to and from airports. Ask if yours does

Walk.

I used Uber. Cheaper than a cab, but still pricey.
