I spend most of my time here in Terminal 5, which has great food. I wish it was possible to travel between terminals before flights and after security
Edward HutchinsonMarch 1, 2017Good airport. Lots of food selection and efficiently run. I way prefer flying out of here than LAX!
John D'AgostinoOctober 15, 2019JFK is a nice airport. Well run and organized each terminal has a collection of places to eat especially on long lay overs as we experienced.
Any #airplane flight is awesome if you listen to these 7 bands during flight: #ELO, Allman Brothers, #Squeeze, Guess Who, Steely Dan, #Bangles, and ZZ Top. That's the combo for #happiness.
Ryan RossAugust 6, 2014Whilst you wait for your departure make sure to visit Auntie Anne's. Get the blue lemonade, a pretzel dog and a cinnamon soft pretzel.
Nice busy and beautifully built airport with great air train service. Job very well done 👍🏻
Still trying to discover what’s the cheapest way (Uber/ Lyft/ yellow cab) to get to and from the airport-Manhattan. Beware landing late at night! Uber and Lyft rates skyrocket up to $250!!
Don't be mislead by the first "American" sign you see. It's got spelling mistake, they really were trying to say "US Airways". The real AA checkin is in the back, all the way in the back.
Brian Grogan Jr.February 18, 2017The AirTrain is a nice way to get to the airport, and around the terminals. If you've flown out of other airports in the New York area, you really come to appreciate the AirTrain!

Robbyn GordonSeptember 25, 2017When arriving at JFK for a cruise, the terminal 5 welcome center is conveniently located near the baggage claim... Collect luggage, check in with the Welcome Centre & they will look after you!
Paul FraitesJanuary 2, 2018Huge airport, make sure you arrive at least 3 hours prior to your flight. The long lines at the JetBlue terminal for security check-in will most likely be consumed there.
If you're hungry (and even if you're not) you HAVE GOT to try the Chicken Avocado sandwich at CamdenFoods Co! It's the taste of heaven!
Absolute mad house the passanger pickup in this place. However you can always play hide and seek with the security by stopong where the groups are bt the road and coordinate qith the passanger.
T4 is the best terminal, but still JFK is the worse managed as you sit on runways for ever sometimes. The TWA hotel is cool to see. If you need to go to city hop on train to Jamaica station.
Delene 하늘January 1, 2015JFK is such a comfortable airport. I stayed the night since my flight arrived night time before going into town, it was safe and nice! There are shops and restaurants around, too! :)
Olga FridmanJuly 12, 2022I was happily surprised how easy it was to check in for Korea airlines & to get through security. Thankful 🙏🏻 Huge airport and depends on airline and day for the experience.
Nice airport, if you are coming on ESTA and its not your first time, you will be in line with US-citizens, so no 1-hour waiting, it takes like 10 mins. max. Also there is no free WIFI.
JFK is accessible via train which LGA and EWR do not. My Uber from midtown Manhattan would have been $109 but taking the E train express ($2.90) and connecting to Airtrain ($9.25) saved time & $$.
Morgan CanalesJanuary 6, 2015It was magical the first time I came to NY, it was through this AirPort. It is easy to get there by subway. If You are in Manhanttan take The A train in direction to Queens and Brooklyn...
MuratJuly 17, 20179 terminals, and where US welcomes you. Chech in could be busy, security always has long lines, but staff is very helpful to make it as passenger friendly as possible. Metro (line A) is available.
ReemFebruary 2, 2015I experienced the spa in terminal 4 and I was very impressed ! Got my nails done while the chair was massaging my neck and back .. Try the foot massage you'll thank me ! ❤️
Sammy's beach bar & grill is a great way to knock yourself out for a redeye. 'Course you're paying out the ass, but it's Sammy Hagar's personal Hard Rock Cafe. You like Chickenfoot? Sick bro.- Müzeyyen AkyüzJuly 24, 2014Chep ticket adresses, JetBlue's office terminal was 5, so we decide walking around and eating dinner in Brooklyn and buy a ticket own website of Greyhound :) Airport was very very big :)
New Fares mean that your total for Airtrain + one-way subway/bus metro ride (anywhere in NYC) ...is now $7.50. Short of a helicopter, this economic route is possibly your fastest bet during rush hours
For those of you traveling from airports like Baton Rouge & San Angelo where TSA & Airline Staff are pleasant, you're in for a culture shock. Everyone has an attitude. You need to be aggressive here!
Charlotte LAugust 15, 2017If you can't get the wifi to connect, go to http://portal.boingohotspot.net/en/jfk and it should load! Still only 30 mins free though - up your game please, JFK.
JetBlue Mint, nice experience with a personal touch. Special food and wines 👍🏻
City Food ToursMarch 20, 2012Whether u r a local or visitor there's plenty 2 do in the Big Apple! Consider City Food Tours 4 a fun & filling way 2 explore. Save ur pizza cravings 4 the city, try 1 of Todd English's to sate ur app
LauraNovember 30, 2015Official New York Taxi rank was clearly marked, easy to get to, fully staffed with helpful people and a fixed rate from JFK into the city. Perfect!- If your all the way at the end of B or close to it there is a shuttle bus at the end that will take you to the baggage. Way less walking
The 19th-busiest airport in the world & 6th-busiest in the US by passenger traffic. Handled 50,423,765 passengers (2013). Has 6 terminals containing 128 gates, num 1–8, but skipping Terminal 6 & 3.
Terminal 5: Muji to go is super helpful for picking up last minute travel size cosmetics and it's super cheap!
Cheapest way to get to JFK: With a metrocard, take the 3 (or 4 sometimes) train to New Lots stop. Take the B15 to Terminal 4. If needed, take AirTrain for free to other terminals. You're welcome.
Deep Blue (Terminal 5) is the absolute best Sushi you can have at any airport. Try it if you are flying with Jet Blue.
To get to anywhere near 14th St., including the East Village and Union Square, take the AirTrain to Howard Beach, A to Broadway Junction, then L to Manhattan.
Ollie MartinMay 11, 2013James Bond arrives at John F. Kennedy, Terminal 3 having been sent to New York by M to investigate the murder of 3 of MI6's operatives in Live and Let Die (1973).
Marlyn GuzmanJanuary 11, 2017Terminal 7 and 8 much quite than the rest. Silly long queues staff seens in limbo. Great Italian pizzeria in terminal 7
SabrinaAugust 5, 2014TSA is nicer here than San Diego. & Bobby Van's will do vegan gluten free if you ask. Welcome home indeed <3
Luis Javier RoblesDecember 11, 2014This is a great and historic airport. There are many things to do there. There are many restaurants and shops. Loved it.
The airport is not that Fantastic, doesn't hold a candle to Asian airports, but it's where you go from here that makes it worth coming
TingOctober 28, 2015Love the city but not so much this airport. Huge airport. Head onto the Airtrain to federal circle for car rental or Jamaica/ Howard beach stations for subway into the city.
Joanna TillmanApril 25, 2019Take the subway here if you can. It’s super easy, just don’t pack too heavy and you can handle it!
NYC: The Official GuideMarch 22, 2013Need a cheap way into Manhattan? Try AirTrain JFK. For $5 (children under 5 free) AirTrain JFK will take you to the subway or Long Island Rail Road. The usual subway/LIRR fares apply. Read more
In Terminal 7? Balducci's in a nice option for a healthy meal, as well as healthy snacks to bring on the plane.
JetBlue has the easiest to navigate, not to mention the cleanest and well-designed terminal at JFK. They are the best airline by far.
Dan KrollAugust 29, 2014As a solo traveler I found it very easy to get there by the airtrain/subway, self-checked in with only carry-on, and the line wasnt too bad even on a long holiday weekend on friday afternoon.
DaxFebruary 27, 2014If you're flying into the US, and have a connecting flight, make SURE you go to the area that says CONNECTING FLIGHTS otherwise they'll tell you to go thru gen pop security & you WILL MISS YOUR FLIGHT
Paul FortJanuary 23, 2017To understand mankind we have to look at that word itself. MANKIND. Basically, it's made up of two separate words "mank" and "ind." What do these mean? It's a mystery and that's why so is mankind.
