Sarah TaylorFebruary 15, 2015Terminal 7 is tiny so I suggest sticking yourself in the pub and getting comfy. You can hear all hate announcements from there and the staff will charge your phone for you!
Melissa SmithMay 27, 2012The jetBlue terminal is great! Lots of food options, bars, shops, and even a mini-spa. Oh, did I mention free wi-fi?!
T4: Buffalo Wild Wings bar has outlets under the bar top next to coat hooks! Beers, burgers and recharge!
Come on! Take the Subway !!! Bloomberg cleaned and have it working Amazing! Save the 80$ and do something different.! Faster, Cheaper, and no Traffic Jam!
Morgan CanalesJanuary 6, 2015It was magical the first time I came to NY, it was through this AirPort. It is easy to get there by subway. If You are in Manhanttan take The A train in direction to Queens and Brooklyn...
Liliane OpsomerApril 27, 2011The brand new INFO center of Brussels has a wealth of information and is a great meeting point. When exiting customs, turn right and find the office opposite the Java Cafe
Abby MartinezOctober 31, 2016The Delta terminal is mint but they went a little too screen happy with this place.
Andrew BadenhorstJune 16, 2013I visited JFK International Airport during February 2013. Cool airport! I also love the Airtrain facility.
Jeffrey WuJanuary 6, 2018Messy and unwieldy. Good for people who love airports, who I assume are the same people that love hospitals, and malls.
MelOctober 5, 2014You can catch the subway to the city, but it's a 45minute+ trip and all cabs have a flat fare.
Even if you have pre-check, expect to still be mistreated BTy the TSA. be forewarned.
Awesome airport. Specially terminal 4. All high end shopping stores. Huge terminal. Delta sky club near gate B32
Probably one of the best run airports in the world, and the most comfortable. if you travel, take pains to do it out of here.
SkyMallDecember 6, 2010Next time you are traveling to and from New York City, go the "Green" way and use the subway and connect with the Airtrain. It only cost 5 dollars to use the Airtrain to/from Howard Beach or Sutphin s
For cheaper option other than Uber or taxi, take the LIRR to Penn Stn. Cheaper and faster. More details here: http://bit.ly/hellofrombigapple
If you can get tsa pre check you'll have a quick and easy ride through security. Otherwise it seems inconsistent as to whether you take your shoes off, etc. Pretty efficient system though.
Meinrad HeinitzFebruary 14, 2014The only airport worldwide you don't get free wifi in the airport! You will be charged 8 US $ to join! Really not a friendly airport! So check out the airline lounges, admirals club gas free wifi
JoshMarch 29, 2014Shake Shack at Gate B36 opens at 6 AM and has a mean Bacon, Egg & Cheese. They also sell alc at this time. Just sayin'
Wear comfy shoes. This airport makes you walk 3 miles to and from your terminal. #Fail
Viktor PopovSeptember 22, 2013If you should wait your flight more then 3 hours here, especially in the morning, you have problems. Almost nowhere to sit down and wait, or have breakfast. Everything is after you checked in (
While Delta's terminal 2 is kind of crummy, their Skyclub is surprisingly large and nice.
Remember two years ago, I wrote a tip about the pricing? Just get a smartphone, go tether, call your carrier and stop the data plan while you're away. Problem solved, saved $10/mo., get more use.
Jet Blue Terminal 5 - Love the free WiFi, and check out the comfy lounge chairs at the end of the gates (ie by gates 14&15)
JFK is incredibly outdated for handicapped or people with heavy luggage. Welcome to NYC - now carry those bags down the steps and walk a mile to baggage claim!
Natalie VMay 8, 2016Takes a long time to get here from Manhattan, but there is a shake shack in terminal 4 so that's a win.
One of the best terminals for plane spotting. You get to see airlines from all over the world.
Anna Hughes (Bachurina)August 1, 2013If you fly by Avianca, I would advise to arrive WELL in advance, there is one queue to check in for all destinations!
There are designated areas around the airport that will exchange air travel for money. Just pay with cash or credit card and you can sit in a flying chair for up to 14 hours.
If you're in terminal 8, get your in-air meal at Cibo Express, two doors down from Victoria's Secret. Bring cash; card machine is down often.
I was told that this is one of the newer airports. Not many seating areas at the departure area. Most secure airport I've ever been with so much scanning that took longer than 20 minutes.
Robert AJune 28, 2019I’ve been here and each time all is really fast! Ya better have your Plan to move before leave the plane- All82November 24, 2013On Sunday , recommend you to get a taxi from downtown , fast and comfortable . No train , no way !
Security is super efficient and no-nonsense. Just the way I like it.
Best DelegateSeptember 6, 2011Take the Air Train to Jamaica Station ($5) and the Long Island Railroad to NY Penn Station ($8.75) for a cheap and convenient way into the city.
Welcome to NYC's international airport, where "OMG TOURIST GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY" really should be easy to understand; translated into 56+ languages, including hand gestures outta car windows.
Terminal 8 has a Cibo- great place to stock up on healthy food (like sugarsnap peas, hummus, watermelon, soba noodles...) before a log flight.
Look out for the cool new TWA hotel when walking to terminal 5 from the AirTrain.
PavlixNovember 23, 2018Crowded, spacious, long lines, lots of food, shops and whatnot, just like New York City.
Eddy BSeptember 26, 2013So I finally learned that if you have light luggage you should totally take the long island railway into the city from JFK. Way cheaper and 20 mins to get to Manhattan.
Each terminal has its own thing. It can be modern and nice to completely crappy. So, good luck!
Maryam CNovember 30, 2018Dont get intimidated in hailing a yellow cab. Dont forget 15% tip. Before you go out to take a cab you can buy sim card. We got $75 unlimited
Chasing NationsFebruary 16, 2015Awesome food options, Jamba Juice, Philly Cheesesteak, Baked by Melissa.
- Chris SnyderJuly 12, 2013Use the LIRR/Airtrain combo to get to JFK if you're coming from Manhattan. Cheap, fast, and stress-free!
Solomon BoukaiAugust 18, 2014Try to enroll yourself in TSA Pre Check. I have it and on my last flight, security took my just under 10 minutes while all the other security lines were packed.
Jan BultinckApril 4, 2013Get to a Xpress Spa if you're waiting for a transfer. Stress massage or neck and back massage to rub those air miles away and do the last stretch of your journey in top shape.
Drew ComoOctober 27, 2010T5/JetBlue is definitely the way to go! Short security lines, friendly and efficient staff. Plenty of outlets to plug in and charge and free and speedy WiFi.
