First time here, unbelievably. Â And probably my last. Â It's not horrible as airports go - for that, you want to hit Hartsfield in Atlanta, probably THE worst airport in the nation, ugh ugh ugh - but it wasn't stellar.
It took forever to get from one place to another. Â I had a Delta connecting flight from Baltimore and needed to go to San Juan - I ended up picking up a free Delta shuttle that was crammed full in 100+ degree heat, and we went around... and around... and around... and AROUND. Â I was like, "uh, hi? Â Are we going to circle New York all night long?" Â Sheeeeesh.
I get to my assigned gate and there are hardly ANY food options available - a Panda Express and a Peet's Coffee Bar. Â That's it. Â Those are my choices. Â Bleh. Â With less than 20 minutes to get to my gate and board, I had no time to explore anything else. Â It's a good thing that Delta actually fed me a stale sandwich, or I'd have gone into a diabetic coma. Â
And as a person who doesn't like noise (actually, I HATE noise and loud sounds and the masses of humanity all in one place), this airport was sheer hell for me. Â I have never seen - or heard - so many crying, screaming, upset, hysterical kids in one place in my life. Â Thank God for the person who invented headphones.
The staff were friendly, though, which counts for a lot. Â And it's quite clean, considering that this is in New York, after all. Â The airport in Atlanta is absolutely filthy, or it was the last time I was there.
Unfortunately, it's a necessary evil. Â If you want to go anywhere on an international level, you'll probably have to pass through here. Â
Could be worse. Â You could be subjected to Hartsfield.
This is my preferred airport to fly in and out of. People think i'm crazy, but I like it. It is cheaper than Newark and less confusing. Yes, it's bigger and further, but I think they're better. JFK has upgraded and the terminals are looking better each time I go. I think things move a lot smooher than they used to.
Review Source:This is a fancy, pretty airport with a Bobby Vans. So why am I updating to ONE rather than two stars? Because I hate this airport with such a passion. I've been flying LGA for 2.5 years and have only flown out of JFK which somehow bothers me less though I have no good reason for feeling this way.
You land 25 minutes early, then taxi around for a long time.
No one told me I was going to be working out after the flight but it was like 10 or 15 minutes from the far American gates to the street.
Don't even THINK about driving in this airport. I would never do it as I am not a native but it's labyrinthine and always under construction. Even lifelong New Yorkers get lost.
I had a great flight on a new Boeing. Very quiet TSA at LAX for the first time in my life and the new 737s are equipped with Wifi. American has been really great the last couple times I've flown.
But the cab is obscene from this airport. Had I not had a sweet friend pick me up, it would have been 65 after tip to the Upper East Side.
I hate this airport. But fare were so bad, I just couldn't get ticket to LGA (well, I'm coming back from LGA at least).
This airport is FINE if you have money and want to shop or eat at Bobby Van's or have a driver or unlimited budget for cabs. Deep Blue (I think that's the Zagat-rated sushi and yes, it's phenomenal).
But even driving with a friend in Brooklyn all her life--and she didn't get lost--it took f***** forever to get out of the airport.
I am told if you live near JFK (i.e. not in Manhattan) it's a good thing. And there is an Air Train but I don't know much about it.
With two suitcases every time I am in the city, mass transit not an option.
UGH.
I feel like JFK airport is a necessary evil, especially if you frequently fly internationally, as they tend to offer the most reasonable flight options. In some ways my first experience here was great and in others it was less than stellar. Let me elaborate.
On our way to pick up my boyfriend's parents from JFK, I was pretty shocked at how easily we found the airport, our terminal, and parking. Everything was numbered as well as color-coded and each terminal had its own individual building. The prices for parking were outrageous but fortunately not as shocking as I have come to expect while traveling. Up until actually walking into the terminal, I was pretty impressed.
Once inside the terminal, it is completely bare bones and NOT AT ALL what I was expecting from one of the top ten biggest and most popular airports in the USA. Granted I only visited the international terminal, but wow, it felt like a big garage. The layout is easy to follow and probably made easier by the lack of well, ANYTHING. Â There were very few stores or kiosks but the real kicker was the lack of any seating!
Being accustomed to Logan airport, waiting around for a delayed flight was never much of a big deal as there were plenty of shops, restaurants, kiosks, and seating areas but not here! Unfortunately, for us, the flight we were waiting for was delayed about 2 hours and we were stuck standing around for a VERY long period of time. Really, the only positive I found was that the terminal restrooms were fairly clean and constantly maintained by an attendant.
While I certainly will not be in a rush to return anytime soon and the experience definitely could have been better, it wasn't the worst of the worst. I'll just be sure to bring my lawn chair and pack a lunch next time around, haha.
We will never fly through JFK by choice again. Â
Transfers between Terminal 1 and 2 are so poorly marked, and we were given directions that sent us outside through streets and parking lots. Â It was only by guess that we knew we were traveling in the correct direction.
Terminal 2 is a nightmare. Â There are too many flights with too few gates, too many people, not enough seats, and poor markings for transferring to and from other terminals.
The delays in moving people on and off flights was incredibly slow and delayed flight after flight. Â There were few announcements about what was happening. Â People were left to flounder and guess about what they needed to do. Â
Gate assignements changed more than the toilets got flushed (and with 1000s of people that was pretty often!!). The movement back and forth for gates between T2 and T4 resulted in people missing flights and getting stuck for 12 to 24 hours more.
Airport staff gave contradictory information, erroneous information, and poor directions. Â
The interplay between the airport management and Delta was strained at best with many delays difficult to tell who was responsible. Â
T4 is newer. Â There is nothing grand about their food courts. Â Trying to find a sit down restaurant rather than fast food was impossible. Â
Won't ever fly through this airport again!!
This was my first, and possibly last trip through JFK.
The new Delta terminal was great; very clean, well-laid out, and offered plenty of shops, restaurants, and places to sit. Terminal 2, I believe, with all the C gates -- was the exact opposite. The thing about my poor experience, is that there was potential for it to be better than it was.
I understand, flight delays aren't the airport's fault, but communication of gate changes, and any additional delays would be appreciated. My flight out was delayed 4 times. I heard about the additional delay just one of those times. Flight Aware on my phone was more helpful than any employee I spoke with. The second terminal I was in had a dozen or so birds flying around, landing on people's tables. Rats with wings, on dining tables. There were two small circular Recharge Towers that I saw, both with only 4 or 5 outlets. Naturally, people need to charge their devices, and this is the best that they came up with for an entire terminal? Â
In carrying on with the communication theme, the Gate Agents seemed to be less than thrilled to serve the public. I bet these agents deal with a plethora of annoying, angry and sassy customers, but in customer service, you have to put on a smile and fake it, not react at the same level as your patrons. Lastly, the ground crew did nothing to assist in getting us off the ground at our fourth scheduled time. It took well over 25 minutes to adjust the luggage according to the Pilot, and the crew below were taking their time, walking at a snail's pace. They may not have anywhere to be, but the 200 people on the plane do.
A star removed for limited seating and charging areas. Another for poor communication at all levels, and the last for the excruciatingly slow crew to get us on our way. New York, please tell me this isn't the typical experience!
I have mixed feelings about JFK, perhaps because it has so many different terminals.
The good:
1. You can reach pretty much anywhere in the world from JFK. It truly is the most global airport in the USA.
2. It is relatively accessible by public transportation. Paying $5 for the Airtrain is a bit annoying, but it is efficient and clean at least.
3. It is generally clean. Definitely cleaner than the parts of Newark and LaGuardia that I've seen.
The not-so-good:
1. The terminal layout. I'm not sure it was the best way to go. Also, this past weekend I took American Airlines up to JFK, and it took me a good 30 minutes to walk from the gate to the terminal exit. That's a bit crazy. I didn't mind, but I am a physically able 30-something year old. It would have sucked had I had some leg injury or some other physical ailment.
I realize not every terminal is like that. I know Jet Blue's is a bit smaller and more compact.
2. The food options. They are similar to any other airport in the country. Pretty generic, which is too bad considering how many great culinary options there are in NYC. JFK could learn a thing or two from SFO in this regard...
Anyway, JFK isn't a bad airport; I've certainly been to worse. It is just fairly average, which is dissapoointing since it is the biggest airport in our country's biggest and most prosperous city.
Possibly the worst airport experience of my life. Flying in from DFW, we landed at Terminal 2. Holy Jesus, I thought we were on the set of an apocalyptic movie set like "Children of Men", where everything is run down and depressing to look at...took the Delta shuttle from 2 to the "new" Terminal 4, and there wasn't much "new" or "improved" about it. Truly a depressing place to exist, and my layover was 4 hours. Made this mistake for the last time...Newark is by far the easiest and best airport to transfer and get in and out of in NYC.
Review Source:I always fly JFK. It's a pain in the ass as usual, with flight delays, weather concerns, and runway traffic, but it's what I am used to. This time I was greeted back home by airport security. Nice welcome home.
How about not falling asleep on the job and concentrating on combating terrorism?
What I like best about JFK is that it is almost like a mall inside, especially, if you are laid over for a long time. Â There are tons of shops, restaurants, and bars. Â Being in NYC, it ain't going to be cheap. Â I also like that the train is close by, you can take the mass transit back to the city.
The airport has always been spotless when I've been through. Â The customs and international entry back to the US is also one of the friendliest I've experienced.
Every time I come to NY, I remember why I hate JFK International. Flights are always delayed. You're stuck in airplanes for hours , either waiting to land or take-off. It's the worst. On top of that, it's always packed, and the place isn't laid out in any way that makes sense. Give me SFO any day of the week.
Review Source:Anywhere you want to go in the world with almost any airline is brought to you by JFK. Is the facility the newest airport in the world? No, but the Port Authority constantly tries to upgrade and renovate the airport all the time. T4 is very nice if you are a Delta passenger.
I always xfer planes at JFK so I have no experience getting to and from the airport outside of flying. But I've heard it's trek getting there.
Food choices are OK. I would like to see more international flavors seeing that JFK is an international gateway. T2 and T3 have very few choices. T1 does OK. T4 is decent. Never been to T5 through T7.
Security lines are average but TSA can be slow when they want to. If you TSA PreCheck T2 & T3 don't have the special lane for you.
3-stars for security
3-stars for food
4-stars for flight choices
3-stars facilities
Uggghhh...what a hassle for those taking public transportation to this airport. Â Get off the subway, pay another five dollars to use the airport tram, walk 10 minutes to the appropriate terminal (nevermind lugging all your stuff uphill). Â Fun times. Â Check-in and security times were reasonable, and there were decent places to eat once we were settled in. A "Meh" two rating is appropriate. Â
I recommend ponying up the extra $30-$40 and taking a taxi.
Trivia: Â before it was JFK, it was New York International at Idlewild.
I actually like New York's JFK airport ... for a lot of reasons, though I see that others don't agree. Â I like that so many airlines operate from here, I like that it's in Jamaica (Queens, that is), I like that it feels less cookie cutter than other airports, with each of the terminals looking different, I like the waterside location, and I like that this is the East Coast's primary air portal to Europe and other continents, though that has been diluted somewhat by the increasing importance of other hubs, like Charlotte, the home of Billy Graham. Â Unbelievable. Ah, yes, that phenomenon called "the Sunbelt."
I'm really only taking off a star because I have encountered some rudeness here ... not a lot, but some. Â However, I've never had a problem of any kind here in terms of schedules, connections, weather, or efficiency. Â That said, I haven't sampled many of the airlines at JFK either - only Delta, TWA, Alitalia and forgettable Tower Air (well, they had one-way pricing for cross-country trips).
The last time I used the airport involved a Delta to Alitalia combination ticket to cross the pond. Â Easy. Â Delta came in on time and I walked over the other terminal for Alitalia, pretty much on the same side of the airport. Â And Alitalia departed on time. Â Imagine that. I love that evening flight from JFK to FCO, and all the characters on board. While taxiing, one could see parts of Manhattan, portions of Jamaica Bay, and, as we turned to take off, Olympic Airways's A340 was barreling down the runway in front of us en route to Athens.
I've gotten here in numerous ways: Â been taken or picked up, rental car pick up or return, bus to/from Port Authority, and the subway (the A line) to Howard Beach. Â The A line is interesting because it's a milk train that runs around the perimeter of Brooklyn and passes through some marginal areas. Â But the most fun is the rental car. Â What a procession from northern NJ: Â the picturesque GW bridge, the far from picturesque Cross Bronx Expressway, the bland overpriced Whitestone Bridge, the nice homes in Malba and Whitestone, generic areas of Flushing, the nice digs around Forest Hills and Kew Gardens, and then the somewhat run down areas of Jamaica and Ozone Park ... and, voila, you're at JFK!
I also have to admit that, besides LAX, I have a lot of sentimental value attached to this airport. Â We've moved overseas and back, with JFK being the last or first place in America we saw, depending on the direction. Â For many people, it has that pull. But, still, this is a dynamic airport for a dynamic metro area, and all that goes with that.
Airports really need to start updating their technology. If this was an airport in some no name town then I wouldn't really care that there were barely any outlets and no free wifi. However, this freaking JFK! It's a freaking hub of the east coast and yet they are super lacking in outlets for people to charge their electronics and not even free wifi for people to hop on. Perhaps, if it was free, it would be really slow with all the people here, but thats why you get professional grade connections.
Review Source:I don't understand all of the JFK hate.  I mean, compared to LGA, JFK is a definite step up.  Maybe it's because I check in online the day prior to my flight and curb check my luggage, so I really have never had any  major issues.  There are at least two bars / restaurants in every terminal, which is more than LGA can say for itself.  Security is pretty quick - much better than places like George Bush International Airport in Houston.
My only gripe is with their new cab stand they have. I flew in a few weeks ago from London and after waiting nearly two hours to get through Immigration (every Joe Shmoe from Long Island coming off a carnival cruise was clogging up the line) I had to wait another WHOLE HOUR to get a cab. Â They really need to make this service more efficient. Â Seriously, for 5:30pm on a Sunday, there should be cabs rolling up every few minutes and it was more like a slow dripping faucet of cabs. Â I literally did not get home to my apartment until 7:30pm and I landed at 3:30pm...awful. Â Next time I am just flying later to try and beat the crowds.
JFK Terminal 3
Holy bananas batman. Â OK there really isn't any bananas but rather than use explicatives that was the best I could come up with. Â This terminal needs to be demolished. Â What an eye sore. Â Tarps all over, dust, it's outdated/old, lacks good food and overall you feel like you're stuck back in the 60's in this terminal. Â What a dump.
I think if the dead could talk, they would tell us not to name airports after them. Â Thanks, but no thanks.
I remember growing up, living in the greater NYC area, that my Dad would never go here. Â He would drive past this airport to get to LaGuardia. Â And as an adult, I learned why.
You will sit, and sit, and sit, and sit, and sit, and sit on the tarmac. Â There's nothing like coming in from Europe and then getting the pleasure of an hour of tarmac time when connecting home. Â After a few of those experiences several years ago, I've avoided this place like the plague as well.
Recently, though, there has been a ray of sunshine through the clouds which has the potential to save this place. Â I've flown JetBlue to New York a few times, and actually enjoyed my experience. Â I found their new terminal to be nice with decent restaurant concessions (including a good sushi place). Â Wait times weren't as bad as I remember.
JFK, there's hope for your airport yet.
Ok, I'll lighten up. I suppose the fact that you can take the train there at all is worth a nod. And the iPads all over Terminal 3 are pretty dope. I haven't closed you off, JFK... But like the LCD Soundsystem homage to NYC, John F. Kennedy Airport - I like you, but you're bringing me down.
Review Source:Man, what a sh*tty airport. A list:
1. The terminals close at night, except for terminal 4 and the air train terminal. I didn't know this and walked in at 1:30am to terminal 7, and the doors opened for me. I found a place to camp out and fell asleep. A police officer walked by no fewer than 3 times. Then a random "security" guard woke me up and said "how did you get in here?" I replied "the door" (I had just woken up, to be fair). He kicked me out and I tried to sleep the next 4 hours in the Air Train terminal.
2. We waited 30 minutes for an agent to come to the ticket counter at Air Canada.
3. I accidentally left a bag at security and they didn't page me (my information was on it), and when I came back for it acted like I had made their lives incredibly difficult by having to put it to the side for me.
4. There is NO signage. Specifically for terminal connections. Unless you're from NY, you've basically never heard of an airport in which you have to leave and go to a different terminal AND go through security again.
5. My connecting flight came in late and I had 25 minutes to make my connecting flight. I frantically searched for signs to Air Train, and finally found it despite no signage. The train I got on randomly broke down and lost service.
6. I finally got to my next terminal, ran to the security agent, and tried to explain my situation. She was beyond rude, saying "well I can't help you til i see your boarding pass" so I showed her the boarding pass code on my phone and she literally waved it away and didn't look at it. I said something like "well either look at it or don't but don't hold me up". She then left her post (She is the only one at this post) and followed me down the security line, shouting "are we gonna have a problem here?!" Where are we, a shady bar? I completely ignored her since she had absolutely no ground and of course she couldn't do anything. The next security agent was similarly rude and made me scan my own boarding pass (when does this ever happen!?
7. *The one good thing* after a 3rd security lady off-handedly said "oh go to the front of the line" but didn't actually help me, I was then shot 1000 dirty looks by everyone else in line. Finally, one kind man asked "are you on the flight to Boston" I frantically said yes (last flight of the day) and he single handedly took my things, opened up a lane for me, and without him I would have missed my flight.
Clearly one person can make (or break) a situation, so for that reason that kind man earns a second star. But man, what an incredibly inefficient and unforgiving airport. Avoid, avoid, avoid.
JFK really should have a subway connecting to Manhattan or something. I mean come on, you literally have to be there at least 3-4 hours before if you have an early evening flight for like around 6 or 7pm due to rush hour. Riding a cab to JFK during rush hour is probably worse than riding the local 7 train from Flushing to Manhattan. The entire trip will suck out ALL your energy and you'll be fatigue by the time you arrive here. I've never used JFK for dosmetic flights but surprised that La Guardia Airport don't and cannot handle large airplanes from and to LA due to the runways being extremely short...
Overall, JFK is NOT a good airport, it really sucks major ass with slow agents, rude TSAs, and the facilities not being up to par as to what tourists and visitors should see when they first land in New York. Hey JFK, maybe you should learn from Seoul's Incheon (ICN) airport, it got World's Best Airport award for like 5 years in a row now....*sighs*
I didn't know John Fitzgerald Kennedy personally. We frequented similar circles, bedded similar dames but our paths to the best of my knowledge never crossed. When things went haywire in Dallas, I was at Idlewild Airport. Flying was still novelty even in the sixties. You got up for it. I used to dress sharp. Suit, cuff links maybe a flower if they were in season. When I traveled in winter I did so without the aid and comfort of a gardenia.
For folks of my generation and even those older - Jack Kennedy represented everything hoped for in the 20th century. When he kicked the bucket, I didn't know what to do. For a long time, I thought such things were found at the bottom of a bottle. I was wrong. You could call it grieving. But most people would call it 40 years of nonstop runaway train drug abuse. Now, the strongest thing I'll put in my body is a Chai Tea.
Then Idlewild got a name change. For the most part I like things to stay the way they were. Not everything. Slavery was something that was worth changing. But in general, I prefer to keep things as they are. Names of buildings are no different. But when I first told a cabbie I was going to JFK airport - it felt right. I didn't feel forced or contrived. I'd put Idlewild to bed - this time for good. So every time I had to fly to Boise or Doha - I remembered Jack. Diamond Jack Kennedy pointing up at the sky. Pointing for all of us Americans.
I'm going to the UAE later this week and despite my efforts to get a flight out of Newark, I'm unfortunately flying out of JFK. As with all of my other travels this month, I know that my experience in the departing terminal will leave me questioning my faith in the collective intelligence of human beings and also pissy that I have to arrive two and a half hours early due to the groupthink incompetence of many many many travelers that apparently have never been on an airplane before. I don't blame them, either. I blame JFK for sucking the will to live out of anyone that walks through the glass doors.
Compared to the international airports in other major cities, JFK is the obese older brother that went to college on a football scholarship and then lost his career due to an injury and is now in higher-level management for the MTA- It is completely inexcusable that this international hub is the first and last memory that so many see when journeying to a city that is glorious in every way. Except for, again, 2 out of 3 of our airports, of course.
I don't think that any airport in the NYC area has much chance to get loved. It's a crowded airspace and delays are frequent, sometimes significant with cancellations always possible.
Still, the experience that you have as a traveler to get to the airport, check-in and board your plane varies greatly from Terminal to terminal. Delta has been a total mess for years with terminal 2/3 and the construction in terminal 4. Hopefully it will get better but so far, I feel miserable when I go to JFK for Delta.
On the other hand, I had a flight out of terminal 1 today and it was quite smooth. Terminal 1 is a fairly new and smallish terminal dedicated to foreign airline. It is clean with good spaces and the walk to gates is not too long.
Acces have also improved since the Airtrain provide connection to subways and trains and that parkings accept the Fastpass for payment.
I don't mind this airport. I rather land here than at Newark.
I have never had a negative experience here. Either coming in our getting out. It is true that it's a relic with poor food options but I believe it has character. The people working here are OK, relatively efficient, and it's not Newark. Yay!
I likes
JFK is insanely far away but a good airport. However, I have mixed reviews about this airport.
Staff:
I give them the benefit of the doubt that it was an early shift... Probably late for the staff but it's still no excuse for them to toss luggage onto the belt right after check-in. What if there were valuables in there? Luckily I didn't have valuables or anything fragile in there but did I need to buy traveler's insurance to be worry free before leaving my own city's airport? JFK's managers need to reevaluate or re-train their staff's customer service on some of their lines of duty. Â Regardless of the shift time, staff should be professional and respectful in all aspects.
On the other hand, some staff were well mannered and had the patience to slowly repeat and walk thru proper procedures to limited to non-English speaking customers (such as my dad).
It was my first time flying into JFK, and I was a little surprised that the major airport in the Capitol of the World was this...beat-up and run-down. Granted, I was flying Delta, and as such was routed in and out of Terminal 2, which is probably "the crappy terminal." Most airports have at least one, after all. But that's all I have to go by. Ugly construction, narrow passageways, restrooms few and far between, dire institutional food choices - all suck-tastic.
On the whole, this is one huge airport. The terminals don't seem to be connected by any hub-and-spoke means; rather, they seem to be a collection of spaced-apart buildings, accessible by either a long walk outside, or the AirTrain. Not having been here, I figured the AirTrain was some little elevated tram simply connecting the airport to the subway station. Not exactly - it's a big production, and it takes quite some time, much longer than you'd think, to simply get to the subway station. The fare is higher than you'd think, too...but what are the other options?
Oh, and on my way back to Miami, we must have been about #59 in line for takeoff, because we sat out there forever, inching along. I was wondering why my listed "flight time" to MIA was about 3 hours and 30 minutes, which seemed way long...I guess JFK tarmac waiting time was figured into this.
I do like the subway access at Jamaica station - that was pretty much the main reason why I chose this airport. But it's so far out from Manhattan, and the subway so slow through most of Brooklyn (seriously, why does it move so slowly? I could have biked quicker in many cases!), that next time I might be inclined to try a different airport. It took a little over 90 minutes to get from the airport terminal to Manhattan (and that's without waiting in baggage claim), which seemed not that acceptable to me. Hell, that's nearly as long as the actual flight time from Miami.
What can I say about our lovely JFK International Airport that hasn't already been said before?
Our only international airport is not conveniently located anywhere near Manhattan. Instead it is located in a land far far away known as Jamaica, Queens. You can get there by taking the subway, which I don't recommend unless you're already in Queens, an MTA bus, or a cab.
The only times I've experienced delays have been due to airplane traffic trying to depart.
Hands down the best terminal in my opinion is the Jet Blue one. You can find all types of shops and restaurants open regardless of the time. I believe I flew domestically from Virgin America on T3 one time and it was the worst experience ever. It was an early flight and none of the restaurants or kiosks were open. My friend and I were starving and wanted to grab breakfast, which we finally did from a crappy stand near our gate.
I wish it had the style or elegance of Heathrow in London or even Barajas in Madrid... sigh!
I have always been a fan of this airport even before I have moved so conveniently near it. Â In general, most have flights that leave from here. Â Never really had a problem leaving the airport. Â Sometimes of course there is just bad weather to deal with. My mother always told me don't sweat the small shit, so if there are weather related problems, it just happens. Â Will definitely be back to this airport within the next year. Â
-Love Terminal 4 and Terminal 5. Â This airport is also accessible by bus or train, do not need to only take cabs here.
Idlewild was the original name of JFK because the airport was actually built-on the  Idlewild Golf Course in 1942. It started as a modest 1,000-acre airport, but by the time construction was complete Idlewild Airport had grown to five times that size. Commercial flights began six years latter in 1948.  In 1963 the airport was rededicated John F. Kennedy (JFK) International Airport in memory of the nation's 35th president. Today, JFK is the nation's leading international gateway, with more than 80 airlines operating from its gates.
Needless to say JFK is very old and in drastic need of upgrading. Some terminals, but, not all have started the upgrade process. Many older terminals still remain with some because of their historical nature. Newark is my closest airport, with LaGuardia being a close second, but, JFK is just a little further for me. It takes me about 50 minutes to get to JFK from Bergen County. I take the GW bridge to the RFK bridge to the Van Wyck right into JFK.
I find myself at JFK when flights are lower cost compared to EWR or LGA as is the case today. My Delta flight from JFK to DCA Reagan was the lowest cost ever of only $113. That is a lower cost than Amtrak's regional express, which I often take. The total travel time between flying versus rail to the DC area turns out to be about the same all said and done. It turns out to be a wash, when door to door is considered. The train tends to be more reliable than JFK flights especially during rush hour.
I use to fly to Japan out of JFK on American Airlines, but, I have been staying away from American considering their financial woes.
I also like JFKs public parking, which I will write a separate review about.
Anyway this time was for JFK to DCA.
