Delta Terminal 4 is the best. Shake Shack, Peets, Marcus Samuelsson, Blue Smoke...
Intemperate queues on arrival and departure, they opened my suitcase and unpacked a gift
beetle TangJune 8, 2013You can use the wi-Di after downloading an app! Select the boingo wi-fi and go to browser, then follow instructions!

If you're flying out of terminal 2, go straight when you come out security. You'll run directly into a Wendy's.
Majed AlashariOctober 31, 2017Immigration service is super fast for B1/B2 vise holder in less than 10 minutes
Make sure your bag boards with you n that you have all your belongings and nothing is missing! I'm hearing crazy ish now!
You don’t need to be here as early as people say you need to. Especially, if you’re not checking bags.
Priscila KnechtelJanuary 13, 2014If you have plenty of time go to terminal 5 for free wifi! Just take the airTrain (all terminals).
Lalita AmosNovember 10, 2013Vino Volo at Gate 38, Terminal 8: Flourless Chocolate Cake and a glass of merlot... That is all!
Another American Airport that is falling behind the trends of world class airports.
Vania Yrl CarmonaSeptember 25, 2013No matter the terminal where you in, Take the Airtrain to Jamaica Station... you save money.. ;)
Matt JohnsonOctober 24, 2011JetBlue is the best airline to use with this airport. So easy and fast and lots of amenities near gates.
Your cab driver is guaranteed to speak a language you didn't know existed (with a mysterious interlocutor, using an invisible phone)
Make sure you come ahead of time or the bald dude will have you playing musical lines. Under pressure much?!?
This place is so enormous! Give yourself extra time just to find your gate and beware of changes.
Dirissy DoanNovember 8, 2016Go somewhere else! I thought the menu looked enticing but it's so overpriced and you get airport quality food. The beef carpaccio was drenched in mustard and croque monsier was poorly executed!!!
- The best place at JFK - the Sky Deck at new Delta Terminal 4
They'll know you're a "regular" at JFK if you only speak in an exaggerated Kennedy accent.
Christopher ZollerAugust 10, 2013When switching from domestic to international on Delta or Swissair, head for the shuttle/jitney.
British airways counter is a mess. Got there 2 1/2 hrs early only to stand in line w/people waiting to checkin for earlier flight and board with 20 min left. Terminal 7 is smaller in comparison to T1.
Take the Q10 Bus to Lefferts Blvd for a free transfer to the A train into Manhattan - $2.50
Feeling exhausted but I gotta go to work... Last run for a while until my little star gets here.. At lease I'm headed to better weather..#musiclife
For delta flights, even If you're scheduled to depart from terminal 3, it's faster and better to check in at terminal 2. They're connected by a breezeway.
Terminal 4: Holy food choices batman! Blue smoke, shake shack and la brea bakery right past gate 35
New security line upstairs is a mess - domestic and international flights share the same line - increasing travel time.
Vast mega airport split into separate small-city sized terminal.
Generally an airport to avoid. All international flights have a one hour buffer from the scheduled take off time to the actual time off the runway.
Shake shack is officially open in the new Delta terminal. Only 50¢ more than the usual prices.
To get to Manhattan Penn Station via train: Take Air Train to Jamaica Station & Long Island RR to Penn. a $5 metro pass + $12.50 RT tix. Time saved by taking a $60 taxi? Priceless.
David DeMemberApril 21, 2013Amex platinum members can get in to lounges in terminals 1,4 and 8 for free :)
Airtrain is at all terminals. Go via Jamaica for LIRR to Manhattan. Beats the subway any day.
Mike BloombergOctober 25, 2011Impress your friends – ask them the original name for JFK International Airport. Answer: Idlewild (changed to JFK in 1963).
PNR SHNOctober 25, 2016You are asked to remove your shoes through the security screening without galoshes when it passes and the internet is not healthy.Doesn't suit to JFK Airport
Wondering since when is this airport in brooklyn. I've been to Fort Lauderdale Airport, and for some reason I was in Florida ... go figure.
Always great to come back home. I'm so happy to live in the USA.
Mike Mahdavi NYC-LA-TEH-KISH * insta—> NYCPERSIANSDecember 27, 2016Always a good feeling leaving and coming back through here. Good to be back home NYC2017
Natalie ✨November 6, 2012Beware: if you need a storage room to leave your baggage for a couple of days, they are situated in terminals 1, 4 and 8. However only the terminal 4 one is open 24 hrs,
Marc UKGDecember 8, 2023Try not to connect through JFK especially arriving from outside the US. 2 hours waiting at immigration and another hour at least at security check which was super messy and felt not safe.
Cyndie Da RochaJune 16, 2017Staff tries to make it smooth and helps. The lounge area before boarding could be much more better.
Sandro CamaraoJanuary 8, 2014Best way to get into the city is Air Train to Jamaica, then catch a LIRR train into Penn Station.

"Probably the best terminal in JFK. Granted that's not saying much, since the bar is very low. I liked how (relatively) welcoming the international arrival section was. It was clean and modern."
Berk Kapicioglu
"I recommend Upper Crust for decent prices and good food. Also a nice quite seating area to wait!"
Jason Danheiser
"Very beautiful terminal. Grab a snack or a drink while u at it."
