Take your iPad out of your bag. They claim they can't see through them on the X-ray. It will save you time from them taking it out and rerunning your bag anyway.
In terminal C be sure to stop by gardenstatediner. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. They continued to serve us even after they officially closed!
DO NOT EVER LET MARIA JOSEPHINA POLANCO (the hostess from Saison in TERMINAL C (RESTAURANT C3) borrow ANY MONEY from you. SHE'S A BITCH , she won't pay you back. I LET HER BORROW $540 SINCE 04/16.
Packing condoms in your luggage is OK. Just make sure it's not sitting right on top, where everyone can see it the minute you open your bag. Rookie mistake.
Crappy airport with broken promises of free wifi... If your from outside of the U.S. Like Canada? You can't download the free app to use the free wifi😡
Global Entry (while still fast) is getting bogged down with human checkpoints here. Had to stop at three individual people. Was told "it's not EZ Pass" even though it has always been EZ Pass.
If you have time and want to sit at the bar and get a hot meal and a drink while watching the game, don't go thru security to your terminal or you will be stuck with candybars, chips and a pop.
Reserve at least 2.5h for international connections to the US. Airport is crowded and slow moving. Trains connecting terminals are stuffed and do not run on time.
Landing here after vacation is one of the most depressing things ever. Even the flight attendants seem upset. Terminal A is freezing in the summer and an oven in the winter.
Out of the three tri stateairports this ranks as number two. Outside the United Terminal, terminals B & C are pitiful. The Airtrain is slow tiny and old. So be sure to allocate the appropriate time
Are you thinking about not paying $80 to get into NYC? Feel like the $16 bus is a good idea? Wrong: 15 minutes is a different concept to them, stop and wait at every stop; take the train. Or walk.
