Ryan RossAugust 6, 2014Whilst you wait for your departure make sure to visit Auntie Anne's. Get the blue lemonade, a pretzel dog and a cinnamon soft pretzel.
Christian NelsonJune 25, 2016Best service June high season what a machine! A pleasure to come though this wonderful airport!
AmmaroNovember 2, 2013Best way to get to Manhattan is take the air train/subway! Costs you a total of $7.5, and we'll get you there in 50 mins. A cab is about $60 and depending on traffic could take well over an hourUpvoted Mar 28
If you're hungry (and even if you're not) you HAVE GOT to try the Chicken Avocado sandwich at CamdenFoods Co! It's the taste of heaven!
Still trying to discover what’s the cheapest way (Uber/ Lyft/ yellow cab) to get to and from the airport-Manhattan. Beware landing late at night! Uber and Lyft rates skyrocket up to $250!!
ReemFebruary 2, 2015I experienced the spa in terminal 4 and I was very impressed ! Got my nails done while the chair was massaging my neck and back .. Try the foot massage you'll thank me ! ❤️
Paul FraitesJanuary 2, 2018Huge airport, make sure you arrive at least 3 hours prior to your flight. The long lines at the JetBlue terminal for security check-in will most likely be consumed there.
The only filtered water station in Terminal 5 is between Gates 27 and 28.
Nice busy and beautifully built airport with great air train service. Job very well done 👍🏻
adriana castroMay 20, 2018For one of the busiest airports in the works it’s pretty easy to commute to any point of NYC also hey have several Shake Shack locations inside for a snack
Cheapest way to get to JFK: With a metrocard, take the 3 (or 4 sometimes) train to New Lots stop. Take the B15 to Terminal 4. If needed, take AirTrain for free to other terminals. You're welcome.
Goatha06November 2, 2021Time to say bye to NY; will miss u🤗…just keep in mind that you should be there at least 2 hrs before your flight. if u rent a car, consider 30 min +…
jetBlue has the nicest terminal at JFK (T5). You can also find the TWA Hotel at T5. Arrange pick up at Lefferts Blvd for easier access.
Dan KrollAugust 29, 2014As a solo traveler I found it very easy to get there by the airtrain/subway, self-checked in with only carry-on, and the line wasnt too bad even on a long holiday weekend on friday afternoon.
Absolute mad house the passanger pickup in this place. However you can always play hide and seek with the security by stopong where the groups are bt the road and coordinate qith the passanger.
Terminal 5: Muji to go is super helpful for picking up last minute travel size cosmetics and it's super cheap!
Deep Blue (Terminal 5) is the absolute best Sushi you can have at any airport. Try it if you are flying with Jet Blue.
Restaurants at JFK are above average for airport food-you have a lot to choose from (french,sushi,tapas,pizza and baked by Melissa cupcakes)
JetBlue has the easiest to navigate, not to mention the cleanest and well-designed terminal at JFK. They are the best airline by far.
Marlyn GuzmanJanuary 11, 2017Terminal 7 and 8 much quite than the rest. Silly long queues staff seens in limbo. Great Italian pizzeria in terminal 7
Olga FridmanJuly 12, 2022I was happily surprised how easy it was to check in for Korea airlines & to get through security. Thankful 🙏🏻 Huge airport and depends on airline and day for the experience.
FlightCenter.comJanuary 3, 2012TSA TIP #3 Remove your laptop(s) and shoes/belts while waiting in line for the x-ray machines and carry them in your hands to be ready for the bins, remember laptops are placed in a bin by itself.
From terminal to terminal, you feel like you are at different airports. If all terminals become just like the most recently upgraded one, this is actually a nice airport with AirTrain service
NYC: The Official GuideMarch 22, 2013Note that taxi rides to Midtown Manhattan are fixed at $52.50 flat fare (non-metered)—plus bridge and tunnel tolls and gratuity; 30 to 60 minutes to Midtown, depending on traffic. Info: 212-NYC-TAXI
JFK is accessible via train which LGA and EWR do not. My Uber from midtown Manhattan would have been $109 but taking the E train express ($2.90) and connecting to Airtrain ($9.25) saved time & $$.
Robbyn GordonSeptember 25, 2017When arriving at JFK for a cruise, the terminal 5 welcome center is conveniently located near the baggage claim... Collect luggage, check in with the Welcome Centre & they will look after you!
Joanna TillmanApril 25, 2019Take the subway here if you can. It’s super easy, just don’t pack too heavy and you can handle it!
The airport is not that Fantastic, doesn't hold a candle to Asian airports, but it's where you go from here that makes it worth coming
The 19th-busiest airport in the world & 6th-busiest in the US by passenger traffic. Handled 50,423,765 passengers (2013). Has 6 terminals containing 128 gates, num 1–8, but skipping Terminal 6 & 3.
Tasteful TravelerFebruary 28, 2015Spend your layover getting a pedicure or back massage at XpresSpa. Afterwards they let you hang out on their massaging recliner til you need to get to your gate.
Brian Grogan Jr.February 18, 2017The AirTrain is a nice way to get to the airport, and around the terminals. If you've flown out of other airports in the New York area, you really come to appreciate the AirTrain!- There's a second Shake Shack further down in the international terminal that is a lot less crowded than the main one. Less important: the airport gets you other places.
Buzzing as always. Security queues tends to be longer so keep walking and follow the instructions of the officer to get it through quickly.
Nando TiconDecember 12, 2014McDonalds and Starbucks are in the Terminal 1. Just get the Airtrain and in 5 minutes you'll find decent food for decent price. After check in, you'll find more food options.
Ollie MartinMay 11, 2013James Bond arrives at John F. Kennedy, Terminal 3 having been sent to New York by M to investigate the murder of 3 of MI6's operatives in Live and Let Die (1973).
JetBlue Mint, nice experience with a personal touch. Special food and wines 👍🏻
Don't be mislead by the first "American" sign you see. It's got spelling mistake, they really were trying to say "US Airways". The real AA checkin is in the back, all the way in the back.
Don Jon RodriguezAugust 11, 2014#PR it's sad sad sad day when Dominicans vaca in PR. I'm glad to be going on a #vacation finally well needed haven't been on one in 2yrs ..... #Isladeverde #JFK
Aarat SatyavoluJune 29, 2016JFK Pro - Tip - When going through security on Terminal 4 try to go through the security on numbers 12-15 (Scanner Machine numbers) because you don't have to remove your shoes, sweater or laptop
Jeffrey StanleyDecember 17, 2014International terminal was wonderful but very crowded, even on a Saturday night during August. Plenty of parking but very expensive. You might as well rent a vehicle and drop-off there or hire a taxi.
Airtrain to Jamaica and LIRR to Penn station is the way to go, $12 off peak and takes around 30 minutes to get to Manhattan
Get TSA precheck. It’s worth the extra money if you fly more than 2 times a year.
SabrinaAugust 5, 2014TSA is nicer here than San Diego. & Bobby Van's will do vegan gluten free if you ask. Welcome home indeed <3
Ann-Sophie P.February 11, 2013This little baby saved my day ! However, there is only a few far in between. (Compared to YUL that are everywhere) #all electronic devices for themselves
Nice airport. Easy access around for gates and AirTrain or buses. Clean surroundings and bathrooms. Not many options o Terminal 5 for dining.
Luis Javier RoblesDecember 11, 2014This is a great and historic airport. There are many things to do there. There are many restaurants and shops. Loved it.
According to American Airlines 50 minutes before a 6am flight is WAAAAAYY to late. They make you pay more to standby till 5pm. Thank you airlines for making travel so painless and affordable! 😘- NYC: The Official GuideMarch 22, 2013Need a cheap way into Manhattan? Try AirTrain JFK. For $5 (children under 5 free) AirTrain JFK will take you to the subway or Long Island Rail Road. The usual subway/LIRR fares apply. Read more
If you see a guy named Steven Dwyer, be extra nice to him and talk to him about the good old days. If you see Gilberto Bou, tell him a good story (he loves good stories).
