That trains runs pretty frequent .. Generally rush hour is not that bad .. best places to be are either at the front of the train or the back of the train .. middle tends be jammed.
If you get to the station and that train is packed then the next one should be a little lighter.
Commute is fast though because it runs express with limited stops
From 88th St Boyd Ave to Fulton St during the AM rush it'll take roughly 45 minutes. Expect to be held at Broadway Junction because the back two cars will be busy with passengers transferring to and from the L, J&Z. Going back in the PM usually takes a little longer because workers are getting off around the same time and there's more of a crush, ESPECIALLY at Broadway Nassau (Fulton St). You might have to let one train pass and squeeze in the next one. Or grab a C Train to Euclid and get the A if adding another 10-15 mins to your time isn't a big problem. At least you'll get a seat quicker.
Does the A train even go to Queens?
As far as I know it goes from The Bronx to Manhattan to Brooklyn, Rockaway!
Sorry, yes, it has 3 stops in Queens @ Liberty Ave and 80, and 88.
The Rockaways are in Queens, and it goes to Ozone Park as well. Not counting the stations you listed and the Rockaway/Broad Channel Stations, there are 5.5 more stations.
The A is much, much longer if you measure it from Far Rockaway to Inwood, though it might be about the same length if you measure from Lefferts Boulevard to Inwood instead. I believe the 2 has the most stops of any train, though, which might be what you're thinking of.
I hope there aren't any people who have to rely on taking the A or 2 train end to end
