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
Avoid the long, long taxi line at Delta Terminal 4: take the Airtrain to Terminal 7 & go downstairs to taxi stand for a MUCH shorter wait.
T4: Buffalo Wild Wings bar has outlets under the bar top next to coat hooks! Beers, burgers and recharge!
Virginia BoylesJune 28, 2011For International flights be sure to definitely arrive prior to 2 hOUrs as required. I witnessed some passengers being denied for being 15 minutes late at 5am! Plus the security line may take 45+min
DuDo's has serious representation in T5, but there is an Illy hidden at gate 18 that serves decent coffee and Balthazar pastries.
Each terminal has its own thing. It can be modern and nice to completely crappy. So, good luck!
Convenient from the city, much closer than Newark and covers all top international destinations. Very functional airport
MelOctober 5, 2014You can catch the subway to the city, but it's a 45minute+ trip and all cabs have a flat fare.
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:)
Dogs aren't allowed 2 wander freely in this zone without state approved canine helmets.Those captured without, are at risk of being trained 2 perform rudimentary tricks or worse, to hunt for narcotics
Joshua MastersJuly 13, 2012Going to LGA from JFK: Take Air Train to Jamaica Station, pay $7.50 into Metro machine, get Metro card, take E Line subway to Jackson Hts/Roosevelt Ave station, get off follow signs for Q33 bus to LGA
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.
Nicole FuDecember 11, 2013Free wifi if you have a MasterCard! Some kind soul please share the password here. I got free wifi through Boingo but had to download Amazon's app first.
When in New York, take a chance to visit the coolest international startup accelerator, Nest New York at the Union Square!- 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 (
When you were going from Long Island to JFK make sure to use Aaron Limousines Ltd for all your transportation needs www.limo.li
Jonathan M.January 22, 2016Big. Follow the companys dispatch and get off at the right terminal when travelling by Airtrain.
Terminal 7 is relatively small, so don’t expect lots of shopping before heading to the U.K.
An interesting infographic on why you have to turn off your electronics during takeoff and landing (Read it before you stow your device away!). Read more
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.
Awesome queues, we had almost the same back in the USSR in food stores :) still missing this so much
Greatest city in the world but we can't give you free wifi
Valerie BrownJanuary 3, 2011If you haven't flown out of Jet Blue's Terminal 5 you're missing out. Phenomenal breakfast at Aeronuova and yummy honey dipped fried chicken at 5ive Steak
When you're approaching the gate pretend your seat belt is on so you can pop up and get off the flight once you arrive
Ade AllenbyFebruary 9, 2018British Airways Lounge is reminiscent of a Wetherspoons on a Friday evening. And the booze is even cheaper!!
There's a new Shake Shack that's a long walk down the terminal but well worth the detour.
Julio Zárate LApril 23, 2014"The city that never sleeps" Always feel like my first time.. Nothing describes the feeling you get when you're in this city. I fucking love New York 🇺🇸🗽🙌😍❤️
Veronica SunJune 12, 2013If you feel like to get in a fight, go fly Delta.Their staff will make sure it will happen. And also, plan for at least 1.5 hrs if your flight takes off in terminal 4.
Andrew BC 翁 ÔNGOctober 1, 2014It's one of the busiest airport in the world, named after the late US President John F. Kennedy.
Joey GarciaJuly 14, 2017Great airport, but customs from coming from a different country can take up to 30 min waiting line.
Bloomberg TVJuly 25, 2012Does it seem crowded? The airport handles around 48 million passengers a year which is the equivalent of the entire population of South Korea passing through the terminals every 12 months
Katty WampusMay 14, 2014Have you ever won the Powerball? Apparently, you're the only people lucky enough to acquire feminine products in this Airport. Otherwise, you have to be a Lvl 6 Summoner...Or go to the newsstand @B26
I actually really like this airport. Nice. Clean. Great food courts.
If you are trying to depart from delta gates 15-30, get their early and prepare so stand in a stagnant security line. One ticket checker and one X-ray machine for 15 gates.
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.
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.
Early flight? Shake shack does breakfast sandwiches and cold brew on top of burgers. Take that McDonalds.
Security is super efficient and no-nonsense. Just the way I like it.
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.
Abby MartinezOctober 31, 2016The Delta terminal is mint but they went a little too screen happy with this place.
Anna ÅbergNovember 30, 2013If you are at terminal 8, go to Vino Volo, great food and wine in a relaxed atmosphere.
If you are traveling with the Ebola virus please remain seated, keep your seatbelt on and try not to vomit on others.
Fly jetBlue if possible (unless there's a friggin hurricane). Cheaper rates, friendlier staff & more legroom than any other airline. JetBlue's terminal is much better here than other terminals!
One of the best terminals for plane spotting. You get to see airlines from all over the world.
Bloomberg TelevisionJuly 19, 2012Does it seem crowded? The airport handles around 48 million passengers a year which is the equivalent of the entire population of South Korea passing through the terminals every 12 months
If you need a quick, affordable ride call a Lyft. Use my code Darnell159 for free ride credit.
Fernando LozadaMay 8, 2015Starbucks in terminal 1 and 7 saves me everyday!! Too many dunkin donut stands they shod be replaced by starbuck stands asap
