- Müzeyyen AkyüzJuly 24, 2014Chep ticket adresses, JetBlue's office terminal was 5, so we decide walking around and eating dinner in Brooklyn and buy a ticket own website of Greyhound :) Airport was very very big :)
LIRR to Jamaica Airtrain is a breeze. From Atlantic Terminal it's $6.25 off-peak and takes 15 minutes to arrive at Airtrain. $11.25 total including off peak and Airtrain price. Worth it.
Marie La RueJanuary 27, 2019Somewhat efficient airport given its size. Long customs lines can be nightmarish if you’re a foreigner. JetBlue terminal has a nice layout and decent food options. Convenient access through Air Train.
Robert HendersonJuly 30, 2018The queues before heading through the security searches can quite often be a bit intimidating and time consuming. Leave plenty time for this major obstacle.
Joshua KerrJanuary 2, 2013Terminal 5 has great food options. Get sushi to go, I usually get a spicy crunchy salmon roll (off menu.)
Michael HoldsworthJune 26, 2016Not as bad as I'd heard it made out to be. Got through security fairly quickly and hassle free and a decent range of restaurants and shops on the other side.
Tobias KemperSeptember 16, 2013Going to San Francisco? Check https://foursquare.com/tek/list/free-wifi--power-in-san-francisco for a list of places with free Wifi AND power outlets to work from in SF
Jürgen KienerNovember 2, 2013Have a couple of hours to kill and don't have a ticket to go past security? Well, choose between free wifi (T4&5) OR a food court (T1). Both in the same place would have been too convenient, I guess.
Hazar CandanApril 25, 2016Terminal 4 is incredibly dusty! They ask you to take shoes of and make you walk on naked foot at that dirty floor:)
Convenient from the city, much closer than Newark and covers all top international destinations. Very functional airport- Trisha BudhaiAugust 13, 2017Overwhelming with its size went through on transit from seattle to south Africa. Had to take an air train to the next terminal. Can't wait to actually visit New York
To get to anywhere near 14th St., including the East Village and Union Square, take the AirTrain to Howard Beach, A to Broadway Junction, then L to Manhattan.
Fly Jet Blue whenever possible and opt for Even More! It includes expedited security, early boarding and more leg room.
Uli Tony BuenoOctober 20, 2013This is my home airport having logged over 1,000,000 miles on American Airlines it is always a pleasure to return home #AA #JFK. Give yourself plenty of time this is a busy airport
Love the new American terminal. Be careful to get to the gate ten minutes before takeoff. I didn't do that today and added many hours to an already long day
Make sure to wear your walking shoes. In terminal 4 the very last gate at B41 is faaaar. Some good shopping and food along the way if you have some extra time
Vrti EliasDecember 30, 2015The airtrain is expensive but worth it, dont forget to look up your airline on the terminals list. The 'international' or 'domestic flights' terminal rule does not apply to all airlines
Now they are asking to take out not only water and PC but salt, pepper, pills, cosmetics, foods and candies for explosive materials inspection. Oh boy...
Will WallaceAugust 28, 2013Check out the outdoor roof deck (really a patio). The Relaxation Room is nice but the lounge chairs don't recline yet they look like they should. That's the only negative.
FlightCenter.comJanuary 3, 2012TSA TIP #1: Before getting to the screening check points clean out your clothing pockets as well as any metals/jewelry etcetera and put them into your carryon bags (or jacket pockets) ahead of time.
Terminal 7 is relatively small, so don’t expect lots of shopping before heading to the U.K.- FlightCenter.comJanuary 3, 2012TSA TIP #5 Once through the x-ray machines take your belongings (trays) off the belts & get re-packed & dressed in the areas designated for this rather than holding up the lines at the x-ray machines.
Free wifi is only up to 30min. Terminal 8 AA bag drop off has long lines but they move quickly. Security was fine. Below average food options at T8 – McDonalds or Aunt Annie's are your best choices.
If you're in delta terminal 4 in the 30s go past the hilariously 9 dollar ham sandwiches and get a coffee and a burger for under $8 at SHAKE SHACK
New Delta Terminal is big on shopping, and zero on TSA flow or gate accessibility. Expect 45 min at 6am to get through security, the walk 1/2 mile to gate
Pro-tip for Terminal 4: Shake Shack has better coffee and breakfast sandwiches than Peet's (and everyone else here)- The Sapphire Bar beside gates 9 & 10 in Terminal 7 is a real hidden gem at JFK - super quiet, comfy and full of great gin!
J BJanuary 28, 2018Make sure you know what terminal your airline flies out of as getting between terminals can be a severe hassle!
Mary McPartlandJune 26, 2014$10 extra speed on Jet Blue, gets you through 45min security lines in less than a minute. Worth every penny!
Delene 하늘January 1, 2015JFK is such a comfortable airport. I stayed the night since my flight arrived night time before going into town, it was safe and nice! There are shops and restaurants around, too! :)
Sammy's beach bar & grill is a great way to knock yourself out for a redeye. 'Course you're paying out the ass, but it's Sammy Hagar's personal Hard Rock Cafe. You like Chickenfoot? Sick bro.
- FlightCenter.comJanuary 3, 2012TSA TIP #4 When loading your belongings onto the x-ray belts load them in an order to help expedite at the other end. THINK, (a) suit case first, (b) laptop bags/purse, & (c) your shoe & belts tray.
Always nice to have the option of taking the train and air tran directly to the airport. No need to pay an extravagant amount for a cab.
Go to the Mastercard Lounge in the American Airlines terminal. Free wif, comfy chairs, iPads, and plenty of plugs to charge your devices; just flash your MasterCard at the front desk!
DuDo's has serious representation in T5, but there is an Illy hidden at gate 18 that serves decent coffee and Balthazar pastries.
Ade AllenbyFebruary 9, 2018British Airways Lounge is reminiscent of a Wetherspoons on a Friday evening. And the booze is even cheaper!!
Paul FortJanuary 23, 2017To understand mankind we have to look at that word itself. MANKIND. Basically, it's made up of two separate words "mank" and "ind." What do these mean? It's a mystery and that's why so is mankind.
For best coffee locate a Shake Shack and get Stumptown bottled cold brew or classic drip.
Z WangJanuary 19, 2013In terminal 5, all the jetBlur employees are so kind and warmhearted. if you have any questions or concerns, don't be hesitate to ask them!
Jamie williamsJuly 25, 2016Very helpful but very very busy airport. Get something to eat hot before you come here because they don't make hot food.
Sun country check in isn't always open, so print your boarding pass at home if you're not arriving close to your take off time.
The C concourse Admirals Club can be less crowded. Might be worth the walk.
- If flying Delta to LAX, LHR and SFO, check in at Terminal 2 with the Business Elite, First/Business Class, and Medallion people. Better than elbowing with the masses at Terminal 3.
Want less stress? Only carry on what you can fit under the seat, especially if you are checking luggage anyway. This way you can relax and watch the masses board. You can then just stroll onin and
Flying into terminal 4 with checked baggage? You have just enough time to hustle to Shake Shack and back right as your bags come out. Bonus points if you eat in the taxi line and make everyone jealous
If you have an early morning flight, stay the light before at the very hip TWA hotel - great vibes and dining!
If you have a opportunity to fly JetBlue, do so. The airline is great & there terminal at JFK is really nice with some GREAT restaurants!
Let me know who you think is an emerging leader in the industry. Someone not yet well known but a smart doer and thinker. Thanks!
