    If you get to your gate early you can watch those late to the previous flight run for the final boarding call.

    Fly Virgin America. They have a nice massage place in their terminal to get a quick massage before your plane boards.

    One hour at delta just to drop the bag. 2 hours to get through security. Need to plan ahead here. It can be 1000 people in line.

    Tip for management. Security line set up at Terminal 1 is operationally efficient for staff utilization but not for fair customer wait times. Single lines work best for both staff.

    At Terminal 5? Head to the Cibo sandwich counter right after security and order a turkey, Brie, honey mustard on ciabatta. Then eat it.

    Looking for a quick, easy, & cheap way into the city? Take the Airtrain to Jamaica then the LIRR to Penn Station. Should take no more than 40 minutes.
