That depends where you’re in Westbury.
Please note Long Island Bus is not 24-hour.
Best option will be taking Long Island Railroad.
At Westbury Station, go to Long Island Railroad Ticket Vending Machine and choose from Westbury to Jamaica Stations.
Purchase $5 MetroCard with peak $12 and off-peak $10 ticket.
Ticket will be printed on rear of Pay-Per-Ride MetroCard.
Then take Pt. Jefferson Branch to Jamaica Station, and use that MetroCard for $5 Airtrain JFK to your terminal.
No problem, her how to get from Westbury to JFK Airport.
Step 1: take LIRR’s Port Jefferson Branch westbound from Westbury to Jamaica. The one way off peak fare from Westbury to Jamaica cost $10 and the ride take about 20 minutes. Please purchase your ticket before boarding. If possible purchase a $5 MetroCard from the ticket machine or the ticket office at Westbury Station for the Airtrain.
Step 2: at Jamaica Station, transfer to the JFK Airtrain. Take the Airtrain from Jamaica to the terminals. The ride take about 10 minutes.
I hope this information is very helpful.
Good luck
