    Look up when in the delta terminal. The ceiling looks like its decaying in several places.

    Be prepared to walk long distances! Worse than Ohare or Heathrow. Bring lots of $. Your flight will probably be delayed or cancelled. Unless flying international & have to leave from here, avoid JFK.

    If you're stuck waiting for your Jetblue flight, there are great food/drink options in terminal 5.

    Try avoiding it. Any other airport in the US is preferable. The immigration lines are ridiculously long.

    Run out of the plane the second the door opens. Otherwise you'll be stuck in that customs line for a long time. A very, very long time.

    I don't really care about the fact the scanner can see my junk or even the groping. It's the fact that they don't know how much radiation it exposes us to that worries me.

    Terminal 1 is definitely not the one. It's NYC, is a decent place to eat too much to ask?

    Delta agents were completely overwhelmed and even late to the gate so there was a huge line at the counter.

    Bar Avion in Term 4 has surprisingly good food at decent prices, and nice staff.

    TSA staff is slow, unfriendly and not clever. Like service in collapsed USSR. They speak with passengers like with prisoners. This is a shame for America in common and for NYC in particular.

    Don't bother with Airtrain TO this airport. MTA service changes are constant, ongoing, and impossible to decipher. You will miss your flight, I promise. However, Airtrain FROM JFK is fine.

    Don't go looking for terminals 3 or 6. It's 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and 8 only.
