Look up when in the delta terminal. The ceiling looks like its decaying in several places.
If you request an @uber as you land, they usually have 1 waiting.
AshleyAugust 1, 2011Check to be sure the airtrain is running if that's why you fly into JFK!! If not ur stuck riding a bus!!!
Kate N.April 25, 2013Be prepared to walk long distances! Worse than Ohare or Heathrow. Bring lots of $. Your flight will probably be delayed or cancelled. Unless flying international & have to leave from here, avoid JFK.
Public Address system is designed for the hard of hearing.
On Terminal 8, try the granola + light yogurt @ Europan.
If you're stuck waiting for your Jetblue flight, there are great food/drink options in terminal 5.
Rei AtirAugust 18, 2014Try avoiding it. Any other airport in the US is preferable. The immigration lines are ridiculously long.
Run out of the plane the second the door opens. Otherwise you'll be stuck in that customs line for a long time. A very, very long time.
AdleyAugust 29, 2014This airport is the real hell! Horrible queues at emigration spot! And customs officer broke the lock of our suitcase so we won't use the luggage any more!!!! Very upset!!! ;-/////
Check out Alexander Calder's "Flight" mobile in the center of Terminal 4
craig vernonMay 16, 2017Security checks are a joke no order no one takes charge too many cues leading to checks then there's 4 officers 👮🏻 checking passports 😪😪😪
Algirdas LukoseviciusAugust 14, 2014Terrible airport for an international city time to upgrade. Lufthansa lounge is great refuge
AirR Inc.April 22, 2011Do you know that JFK is the first U.S. airport to receive AirBus A380 with passengers onboard?
Roger LittlepageMarch 16, 2012Delta agents were completely overwhelmed and even late to the gate so there was a huge line at the counter.
Did you know the travelers are always in a hurry and the workers never are? Fact.
Roberto BuaApril 5, 2015Terminal 1 is definitely not the one. It's NYC, is a decent place to eat too much to ask?
Lisa SievertsJuly 22, 2010Bar Avion in Term 4 has surprisingly good food at decent prices, and nice staff.
Michael BrancatoJune 20, 2011I don't really care about the fact the scanner can see my junk or even the groping. It's the fact that they don't know how much radiation it exposes us to that worries me.
Valentin KozharskiyMay 8, 2013TSA staff is slow, unfriendly and not clever. Like service in collapsed USSR. They speak with passengers like with prisoners. This is a shame for America in common and for NYC in particular.
Don't bother with Airtrain TO this airport. MTA service changes are constant, ongoing, and impossible to decipher. You will miss your flight, I promise. However, Airtrain FROM JFK is fine.
Leena SubbaDecember 28, 2010I barely have gotten to travel so whenever I feel like AcTing like a TouRisT, I come here :P hey, what won't hurt u can only make u happier *_^
Scott D.November 14, 2010Be sure to read the tips left by other people here! There is some good stuff
You can't see London. You can't see France. Unless I see your underpants. Love, TSA
Flying Jetblue and have baggage? First bag always flies for FREE! Nice!
Don't go looking for terminals 3 or 6. It's 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and 8 only.
- Like a third world airport, only 45 minutes to clear security today. Good luck everyone
