Another American Airport that is falling behind the trends of world class airports.
Julio RosaJune 29, 2018It’s becoming worse to navigate and the stores are sad. They need to upgrade it so badly. After seeing other older yet better airports around the world it’s a shame NYC’s main airport looks so cruddy.
To get to Manhattan Penn Station via train: Take Air Train to Jamaica Station & Long Island RR to Penn. a $5 metro pass + $12.50 RT tix. Time saved by taking a $60 taxi? Priceless.
Natalie ✨November 6, 2012Beware: if you need a storage room to leave your baggage for a couple of days, they are situated in terminals 1, 4 and 8. However only the terminal 4 one is open 24 hrs,
Vania Yrl CarmonaSeptember 25, 2013No matter the terminal where you in, Take the Airtrain to Jamaica Station... you save money.. ;)
Waiting at the airport, grab some flyers may save you a few dollars on broadway shows
Make sure your bag boards with you n that you have all your belongings and nothing is missing! I'm hearing crazy ish now!
National Car RentalApril 16, 2012The Big Apple has a lot in store for you, so power up your phone in Terminal 7 which has a lot of outlets.
Make sure you come ahead of time or the bald dude will have you playing musical lines. Under pressure much?!?
New security line upstairs is a mess - domestic and international flights share the same line - increasing travel time.
Chris IoannouDecember 9, 2016Was it the terminal I landed, was it the day, was it the crowded place, the time? I have no idea, but I failed thinking that JFK would be one of the best. Well, it's not. Disappointedly, it is not!
Intemperate queues on arrival and departure, they opened my suitcase and unpacked a gift
Dirissy DoanNovember 8, 2016Go somewhere else! I thought the menu looked enticing but it's so overpriced and you get airport quality food. The beef carpaccio was drenched in mustard and croque monsier was poorly executed!!!
Flat rate to cab here but very slow since there is a lot of traffic. Leave 4 hours before your flight if your flights on a Friday evening!!
Charles TabangcoraJanuary 21, 2012Save money by taking the air trains to and from any of the MTA stations. If you have large luggage keep an eye out for handicap elevators.
beetle TangJune 8, 2013You can use the wi-Di after downloading an app! Select the boingo wi-fi and go to browser, then follow instructions!
Winston WuNovember 1, 2012If it helps, see
Take the air train to/from the subway for $5 and skip the taxi ripoffs
Eat before you et here because the prices for food are insane! You need to refinance your home just to buy a small bag of chips!
SajjadMay 25, 2013Take airtrain and long island railroad to Penn Station if you want to get into town in 25 minutes - $12
Take the Q10 Bus to Lefferts Blvd for a free transfer to the A train into Manhattan - $2.50
Lalita AmosNovember 10, 2013Vino Volo at Gate 38, Terminal 8: Flourless Chocolate Cake and a glass of merlot... That is all!
Franziska GostnerMay 13, 2017Security in the evening is fast. Shops are available afterwards. Wifi does not always work
John DowlingJune 21, 2023Ground transportation is still a mess. Be prepared to do a lot of walking after you land
Johnny ChangFebruary 16, 2013Use the free air train to get between terminals. T4 has USB ports for charging at gates
Come early as the security clearance takes a lot of time
Cyndie Da RochaJune 16, 2017Staff tries to make it smooth and helps. The lounge area before boarding could be much more better.
Calvin DianaJuly 27, 2014Brook stone has some meat gadgets to spend time at while waiting for your flight.- The best place at JFK - the Sky Deck at new Delta Terminal 4
Matt JohnsonOctober 24, 2011JetBlue is the best airline to use with this airport. So easy and fast and lots of amenities near gates.
Mike Mahdavi NYC-LA-TEH-KISH * insta—> NYCPERSIANSDecember 27, 2016Always a good feeling leaving and coming back through here. Good to be back home NYC2017
Airtrain is at all terminals. Go via Jamaica for LIRR to Manhattan. Beats the subway any day.
Carmine GalloJuly 16, 2011If you're traveling to give a presentation, stop fiddling with the slides at this point and start rehearsing. The narrative should have been done long ago. More communication tips at Carminegallo.com
Always great to come back home. I'm so happy to live in the USA.
David DeMemberApril 21, 2013Amex platinum members can get in to lounges in terminals 1,4 and 8 for free :)
Vast mega airport split into separate small-city sized terminal.
- Don't get so happy when your plane lands earlier than scheduled. Customs doesn't open until 1PM so you have to wait on the plane until they finish their lunch
Derek MontgomeryAugust 28, 2012If you have to stay overnight in the jetblue terminal for your flight go find gate 14.... Best place to sleep.- Autumn RayneSeptember 24, 2016Busy airport but always so much better than LaGuardia to maneuver around

"Healthy breakfast option = multiple places that offer oatmeal, including Piazza, Jamba Juice, Starbucks, and Cibo Express. I recommend Cibo for fast and decent and you can pair it with mixed fruit."

"I recommend Upper Crust for decent prices and good food. Also a nice quite seating area to wait!"
Jason Danheiser
"Lots of dining places closed in term 8 from Covid. Slowly re-opening, as new restaurants. Restaurant rents are $$$$$"
