Beeline for the cabline as you exit. Don't dawdle. It's always the best way to save yourself a 40 min wait!
If you're looking for a bar outside of security, head straight to Terminal 1. Greenwich Village Bistro, in the food court, next to Sbarro, is your salvation.
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.
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.
Joey GarciaJuly 14, 2017Great airport, but customs from coming from a different country can take up to 30 min waiting line.
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.
T4: Buffalo Wild Wings bar has outlets under the bar top next to coat hooks! Beers, burgers and recharge!
Each terminal has its own thing. It can be modern and nice to completely crappy. So, good luck!
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 (
MhmtaliJune 1, 2013Airtrain it back to Manhattan if you're travelling solo. It takes an hour and it's only $7 compared to a $50 cab where you can get stuck in traffic. Just follow the signs.
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!
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
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
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:)
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- Convenient from the city, much closer than Newark and covers all top international destinations. Very functional airport
Pedram YasharelOctober 15, 2018Take the train if you want a cheap way to get into the city in about the same time as a taxi.
Awesome queues, we had almost the same back in the USSR in food stores :) still missing this so much
Mike BloombergOctober 25, 2011Welcome to NYC. Be sure to visit
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.
janelle guntherFebruary 27, 2013don't be That Guy - just check your suitcase and stop hogging everyone else's overhead bin space
MelOctober 5, 2014You can catch the subway to the city, but it's a 45minute+ trip and all cabs have a flat fare.
Vasek S.February 15, 2016It´s very easy to get lost here :) Free Wi-Fi just only for 30 minutes from first connection
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
The security line can be a nightmare, but just follow the TSA instructions and you should be ok, try to wassail into the precheck line if you can for express service
I actually really like this airport. Nice. Clean. Great food courts.
Early flight? Shake shack does breakfast sandwiches and cold brew on top of burgers. Take that McDonalds.
Abby MartinezOctober 31, 2016The Delta terminal is mint but they went a little too screen happy with this place.
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.
There's a new Shake Shack that's a long walk down the terminal but well worth the detour.
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.
Security is super efficient and no-nonsense. Just the way I like it.
When in New York, take a chance to visit the coolest international startup accelerator, Nest New York at the Union Square!
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
If you need a quick, affordable ride call a Lyft. Use my code Darnell159 for free ride credit.
Anna ÅbergNovember 30, 2013If you are at terminal 8, go to Vino Volo, great food and wine in a relaxed atmosphere.
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.
Getting in and out of here for travel into Manhattan can be a bit dicey.
PavlixNovember 23, 2018Crowded, spacious, long lines, lots of food, shops and whatnot, just like New York City.
At least you are not in La Guardia! JFK is actually a very nice airport, depending on your airline terminal
If the taxi line is too long, jump on the free airtrain and try the next terminal, where there may be no line at all.

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
If you are traveling with the Ebola virus please remain seated, keep your seatbelt on and try not to vomit on others.
One of the best terminals for plane spotting. You get to see airlines from all over the world.
