In JetBlue Terminal 5, skip the foodcourt for breakfast and get a Balthazar croissant at Cibo (gates 1-7) or at the Illy coffee stand (gates 8-21).
Graham TippettJanuary 15, 2013Terminal 3 is for the birds (literally) - its the classic golden age of amenity free flight!
Still no free wifi. In the 21st century. Get with the times guys. Oh and did I mention, terminal 8 doesn't even have power plugs. Thanks American Airlines!
One of the top 2 places to catch a commercial flight in the greater NYC area!
Scuba SteveJuly 18, 2011Yeah hereZ a tip @SFRadioBoyZ are takin' over the world @MTV check out our commercial...
Stefano AristondoJune 28, 2013Between gate 40 & 42 there is free wifi, connect to attwifi. The "greatest city on Earth" and they don't give free wifi? How can they charge you for Internet on an airport?
Waiting at the airport, grab some flyers may save you a few dollars on broadway shows
Beware of Delta terminal 3. From the international area exit you have to go to area D at the domestic side to get picked up. It is a confusing, decrepit mess and they need to tear the terminal down.
Charles TabangcoraJanuary 21, 2012Save money by taking the air trains to and from any of the MTA stations. If you have large luggage keep an eye out for handicap elevators.
Sergio ValenzuelaDecember 10, 2013If you're hungry don't think twice in eating at Panda Express. Its delicious!
If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. Also, there are two Peets in the Virgin America terminal past security so there's that.
Heinie Brian HartendorpJuly 27, 2018The airport wifi should be easily accessible for tourists. Here it isn't. You have to agree to watching an ad or installing an app. Sheesh.
Karen KepnerApril 11, 2018Always nice to pick up family or travel abroad! Hate the trip there though.
Quickest way in to city is AirTrain to Jamaica. Then grab the LIRR to Penn Station - 15 minutes nonstop!
Say what?! Well, jetBlue is the only airline I use. If youre going to nantucket, then oh well for you because those flights are crazy.
Adam PoltJune 29, 2013Men's room near gate A5 has flies painted on the urinals. Great for practicing your aim!
If you're near Gate 27, look for the water bottle filling station!
Easy to get to (kinda) and has some good restaurants.
Paul FortAugust 20, 2013JFK has a full-time "rat king" militia to prevent a horrific scenario where hundreds of rats form-up into an imposter pilot and steal an aircraft. Your airport fees at work!
Go with plenty of time otherwise you can miss your flights due the passenger's control
Mona LisaJanuary 8, 2015Airports should have free WiFi. Used WiFi which was free for just 30min to update social media logins and checkins.
Terminal 7: the bathrooms towards gate 11 are MUCH cleaner and better than the ones by gate 9. Also, Balducci's is great for healthy food.
T5 is simply the best. Get Muji pens and a Jamba Juice.
Even if you have pre-check, expect to still be mistreated BTy the TSA. be forewarned.
Brandon KirklenOctober 18, 2016This place is big. Terminal 8 is nice with some interesting food. Quite a walk though.
Gigantic, but organized and clean free wifi available
Massages and lattes... Who could ask for more. The restaurants and bars aren't half bad either.
Terminal 5 now has filtered water station by Gate 9, across from the CIBO Express
Pablo ValcarcelAugust 24, 2011Jet Blue is cheap but a POS. Miss your flight and pay an extra 40 to reserve a seat the next flight. Pay an extra 80 if your luggage is a pound overweight. Have a road trip if you can and avoid flying
Julio RosaJune 29, 2018It’s becoming worse to navigate and the stores are sad. They need to upgrade it so badly. After seeing other older yet better airports around the world it’s a shame NYC’s main airport looks so cruddy.
SajjadMay 25, 2013Take airtrain and long island railroad to Penn Station if you want to get into town in 25 minutes - $12
National Car RentalApril 16, 2012The Big Apple has a lot in store for you, so power up your phone in Terminal 7 which has a lot of outlets.
Franziska GostnerMay 13, 2017Security in the evening is fast. Shops are available afterwards. Wifi does not always work
Recite The Oath, In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might, beware my power, Green Lantern's Light!
Calvin DianaJuly 27, 2014Brook stone has some meat gadgets to spend time at while waiting for your flight.
Best DelegateAugust 28, 2011Looking for a quick, easy, & cheap way into the city? Take the Airtrain to Jamaica then the LIRR to Penn Station. Should take no more than 40 minutes.
Emily MJanuary 31, 2014United Terminal 11 and 12 is like a bus station ( a dump). Get your meal and/or creature comforts before you get to the gate.
Bonnie ChenAugust 22, 2014There are not that many food kiosks around gates 30-40. Had to walk all the way to gate 12 for the food court. Thank god I had 3 hrs to spare. Otherwise I would've miss my flight trying to find food.
Eat before you et here because the prices for food are insane! You need to refinance your home just to buy a small bag of chips!
Sean MillerJanuary 20, 2015Welcome to New York! This is the most crowded airport you will ever see in the US.
Giulia ManginiMarch 5, 2015Even if La Guardia is closed, they still work hard And face the snow! Good job at #jfkfullofsnow
Cindy RobbinsSeptember 9, 2012Come 30 minutes earlier than you think necessary, and definitely use the bathroom before (speaking for terminals 2/3)
