Not great shopping or duty free here. Look to get whatever you need before you get here
To get to the City from JFK take the Air Train to Jamaica Center/Sutphin Blvd and then the subway into Manhattan - less than $10 and no traffic!- Rohit DaymaMay 17Welcome to the United Terminal at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK).
TSA-pre is awesome. Through security in 30 seconds. Feels like pre-9-11.
Worst airport in the world, where no matter if you're economy, business or first class, you'll be treated like a sack of potatoes. Not sure the security is spot on either.
Andy ChangJuly 29, 2011If you're given an option to purchase priority access throughout security do so. Otherwise get ready for a soul breaking line.
Joe MaddenFebruary 1, 2011wereward you can earn cash for local checkins - tie it to your Twitter, Facebook, & Foursquare acct!
MSP expats, there's a French Meadow Bakery outpost in terminal 2, near gate 28
Ngozi OnyesohOctober 14, 2013Options for food and coffee quite grim and way too pricey. Peets coffee is horrible. So grab some grub in the city before heading to the airport
Keep your charger with you, there's a ton of free electrical outlets here!
Migu�langelo CharlesMay 14, 2013This place is dope, but the staff is hella rude. And it's not just cause it's NY either. I guess I'd be a dick too if TSA played my daddy all day. Phuckers.
While you are waiting for your flight, why not update the Angry Birds games on your phone. Have a great flight!
Stuck at the airport? Grab the radio.com app in the app store and listen to NY's Hit Music Channel 92.3 NOW FM!
Dwayne KilbourneApril 16, 2013Get here early... if you miss your flight due to poor pre-planning, good luck getting a refund!
Terminal 4 Arrivals: NYC taxi line was moved inside. Best. Move. Ever.
Hornet SilverbulletMay 30, 2015Careful with the people offering cabs in here that aren't yellow cabs. Super expensive!
Ishan PatelApril 16, 2015Nothing good .... wait time is forever ... and the shops on terminal 4 only serve coffee ... no latte ... a bummer ... parking facilities are good but be prepared to look for a spot for 30 mins
I tend to get groped/pat down checked by TSA anyway so I opt out of the security cancer machines!
Get priority so you don't have to wait in the long dreaded lines.
kayak is an essential app to keep track of your flight status. priority pass is another app to get info on specific airport lounges.
Mike KellyFebruary 24, 2012Transferrred here to go to Nashville. Also lost my wheelchair here. Turned up on the runway, 75 mins after being removed from the plane. That was worrying.
Adam FairheadJanuary 23, 2011$5 to borrow a trolley for approximately 10 minutes? Get a workout instead. Then maybe we can all get the Gym Rat batch from here.
ESNApril 11, 2014It crowded too much, security check points (SCP) are low, all passengers should check to one SCP no other Choices.
Augustine VSeptember 23, 2014Avoid eating pre-made sandwiches here.. Most often they have been sitting out for a long time and the bread is hard as rock.
Edgar SanchezSeptember 25, 2017The in migration area was terrible over 2 hours we spent to go through, we are tourist to spend holidays, and expect efficiency
No food court between your arrival gate and Baggage Claim when you arrive from a flight!
Going to Terminal 7 or 8? Get off at 1 and go backwards!- whenifly.comDecember 30, 2013Hey folks! What'd you like to change at JFK when you fly next? Vote today,we'll get your opinion across. Your voice counts! Read more
