Yanzy BearAugust 16, 2016Just came in today and heard there was a shoot out. Plus, walking to baggage claim all the stores was dark. #welcometomycity
Leave enough time to get here and through security. You never know what is awaiting you.
They are trying a new TSA precheck system at the Delta terminal and it's quite slow. Allow for extra time if you are there.
One of the top 2 places to catch a commercial flight in the greater NYC area!
Verônica RodriguesJanuary 9, 2017Unorganized. Hard to find staff to get info and even harder if you're flighting American airlines. Give yourself at least 2.5 hours before your fight and pray to not have it delayed and/or cancelled!
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?
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.
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.
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.
Waiting at the airport, grab some flyers may save you a few dollars on broadway shows
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.
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!
Quickest way in to city is AirTrain to Jamaica. Then grab the LIRR to Penn Station - 15 minutes nonstop!
Adam PoltJune 29, 2013Men's room near gate A5 has flies painted on the urinals. Great for practicing your aim!
Sergio ValenzuelaDecember 10, 2013If you're hungry don't think twice in eating at Panda Express. Its delicious!
Go with plenty of time otherwise you can miss your flights due the passenger's control
If you're near Gate 27, look for the water bottle filling station!
Karen KepnerApril 11, 2018Always nice to pick up family or travel abroad! Hate the trip there though.
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.
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.
T5 is simply the best. Get Muji pens and a Jamba Juice.
Easy to get to (kinda) and has some good restaurants.
Mona LisaJanuary 8, 2015Airports should have free WiFi. Used WiFi which was free for just 30min to update social media logins and checkins.
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
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.
SajjadMay 25, 2013Take airtrain and long island railroad to Penn Station if you want to get into town in 25 minutes - $12
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!
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.
Gigantic, but organized and clean free wifi available
Terminal 5 now has filtered water station by Gate 9, across from the CIBO Express
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!
Calvin DianaJuly 27, 2014Brook stone has some meat gadgets to spend time at while waiting for your flight.
Brandon KirklenOctober 18, 2016This place is big. Terminal 8 is nice with some interesting food. Quite a walk though.
Carmine GalloJuly 16, 2011If you're traveling to give a presentation, stop fiddling with the slides at this point and start rehearsing. The narrative should have been done long ago. More communication tips at Carminegallo.com
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.
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.
Cindy RobbinsSeptember 9, 2012Come 30 minutes earlier than you think necessary, and definitely use the bathroom before (speaking for terminals 2/3)
Winston WuNovember 1, 2012If it helps, see
Delta Terminal 4 is the best. Shake Shack, Peets, Marcus Samuelsson, Blue Smoke...
Franziska GostnerMay 13, 2017Security in the evening is fast. Shops are available afterwards. Wifi does not always work
