Crescentrating Halal Friendly TravelDecember 6, 2011Terminal 4 has dedicated Muslim prayer room with seperate areas for males & females. It is claimed that the 'Eat & Go Istanbul' in Terminal 1 is Halal-assured. Read more
NYC PrideNovember 29, 2011With a terminal expansion set to finish up in 2013, your Delta travels will be first-class when coming through JFK...even if you're flying coach.
If you forget to mail your rent check before you get on a plane, Harmony (near gate 6) has a mail drop & cute cards! :)
Welcome to NYC. Well not yet. You have to pick your method of transportation first. Then you will have feel welcome the moment you get to manhattan.
Delta Sky Club...Terminal 4...fun to watch the movement of the aircraft ✈️✈️ amazing food
You must arrived early if your flight leaves in between 4 pm and 8 pm international rush hour
Crazy airport but your best bet to find a cheap flight to pretty much anywhere in the world
SamsoniteMay 3, 2011JFK offers luggage storage for those interested in spending some time sight-seeing! Bags can be stored for a small fee at either of these two locations: Terminal 1 Arrivals or Terminal 4 Arrivals.- So many kinds of people here to see and hear. It's wonderful.
- U need to have the broccoli soup at al du po nect to gate 33 on terminal 8 is amazing
Nino MendozaApril 26, 2014Very busy airport! Took us forever to take off! Nonetheless, New York is still the best!!
Leave enough time to get here and through security. You never know what is awaiting you.
There are designated areas around the airport that will exchange air travel for money. Just pay with cash or credit card and you can sit in a flying chair for up to 14 hours.
Delta's terminal 4 is one impressive place. TSA agents here are not the friendliest though.
Chris SnyderJuly 12, 2013Use the LIRR/Airtrain combo to get to JFK if you're coming from Manhattan. Cheap, fast, and stress-free!
Say what?! Well, jetBlue is the only airline I use. If youre going to nantucket, then oh well for you because those flights are crazy.- Caution: Soft cheese is considered "dangerous" in your carry–on baggage by TSA. Be sure to get a phone number when felt up by TSA - best foreplay ever!
Most jet blue flights. Best airport for food. Best fares on airlines u want to fly on.
Solomon BoukaiAugust 18, 2014Try to enroll yourself in TSA Pre Check. I have it and on my last flight, security took my just under 10 minutes while all the other security lines were packed.
Verônica RodriguesJanuary 9, 2017Unorganized. Hard to find staff to get info and even harder if you're flighting American airlines. Give yourself at least 2.5 hours before your fight and pray to not have it delayed and/or cancelled!
Jessica DobyFebruary 16, 2013Take the train in, not a cab. Save yourself about $50! Just follow the signs. Ps they have a 24 hour juicy couture..
Amanda FoleyNovember 20, 2013Canadian passport holders: You can use the self-serve kiosks and the express queue. (Don't wait over an hour to find this out like I did)
The walk from the gates in terminal 4 to the baggage/exit takes forever. Make sure you allow at least an extra 10 mins for the walk.- There's a MasterCard lounge in Terminal 8 that has free wifi and power - as long as you have a MasterCard, that is.
Compared to the other major airports in the area, JFK is a breeze
If you're flying out of terminal 2, go straight when you come out security. You'll run directly into a Wendy's.
Terminal 4 finally has some decent eats--Marcus Samuelson, BWW, Shake Shack, BBQ, etc.
The dinner outside the arrivals of Terminal 4 is just Magical!
Enoc SanchezJune 19, 2013Whenever you are going to pick up family tell them to wait by departures, NOT arrivals. In arrivals they always move you and you don't get a chance to wait, in departures they don't move you
Mari OlmedoJune 28, 2014Firts time in New York! Do NOT exchange money here! Wait until you get to the city and to a proper bank, the rates in here are juts crazy.
KAYAKJuly 9, 2012check out @BobbyVansSteak. get the steak and eggs and a bloody mary. you won't regret it.
Lydia BerkennouJanuary 26, 2015The longest wait at the custom borders... But New York is a city who have to see!
Multiple Shake Shacks in T4, and a Blue Smoke as well!
City of New YorkJanuary 22, 2013JFK was originally named Idlewild Airport and was constructed in April 1942. On December 24, 1963, the airport was rededicated John F. Kennedy International Airport.
Aurie AndenJuly 14, 2013head to cibo express for fast, tasty, healthy, cheap food. the chicken wings are particularly delicious.
Go with plenty of time otherwise you can miss your flights due the passenger's control
Pablo ValcarcelAugust 24, 2011Jet Blue is cheap but a POS. Miss your flight and pay an extra 40 to reserve a seat the next flight. Pay an extra 80 if your luggage is a pound overweight. Have a road trip if you can and avoid flying
Sean O'HanlonNovember 21, 2011Do you care about Energy Security and/or the Environment? Let your airline know via Twitter that you want to fly on domestically produced #biofuels!
Security lines can be a pain. The lounges cannot be compared to the ones in Europe. Though the airport is well organized.
Karen KepnerApril 11, 2018Always nice to pick up family or travel abroad! Hate the trip there though.
Stefano AristondoJune 28, 2013Between gate 40 & 42 there is free wifi, connect to attwifi. The "greatest city on Earth" and they don't give free wifi? How can they charge you for Internet on an airport?
They are trying a new TSA precheck system at the Delta terminal and it's quite slow. Allow for extra time if you are there.
Alexey umniksJuly 21, 2013Take a LIRR from Jamaica — it's only $7 and will take you to Manhattan in 20 minutes.
