It depends, there are many terminals (some better than others) and although a lot of people fly through JFK they are spread all over the place so it doesn't seem very different from other large airports.

It's an easy airport to get around in, there is a tram/train that connects all the terminals if you need to switch from an international to a domestic flight. Most terminals have a decent number of resaurants and stores, but double check before you go through security as I have been in terminals with Delta with little to do and wind up leaving and passing through security twice.

You'll be fine

Well there are lots of aircraft, people with cell phones and laptops and tons of luggage everywhere! It's a veritable feast for the travel enthusiast. If you like people, corridors, and P.A. announcements, you'll LOVE JFK!

I personally Dont mind JFK at all. I think for as big as it is it is very easy and not confusing at all. It also depends what airline you are using. I fly from JFK to Buffalo about twice a month and have never had any problems and I usually get there Late and still make my flight. I only use Jet Blue which has there own terminal I'm not to sure about the other airlines but I am sure they are set up the same way. Also depends on the time and what day during the week. All in all I do not think it is that bad.... It could be alot worse. Good luck!!!

Of course it's busy every airport is busy but overall it is a pretty nice airport.

Schizm

nice but like a ZOO at times!

Meh it's huge. Have lots of time to get to your terminal because they don't belive in proper sinage and it takes a while to navigate through terminals.

I think JFK is your typical big airport: sprawling. The Airtrain system makes it relatively painless to get from one terminal to another: the signage was adequate and it didn't take long for a train to pass by. The food and amenities are pretty good: the number and varieties of fast food and dine-in restaurants and bars is what you'd expect, at least in American Airlines Terminal 8-9 and International Terminal 7.

Kennedy is always busy. New construction has made it look so different from when I was a kid and would ride my bike there.

It depends on time of day and how you get there. I have always had no problems getting to my flights on time and with out delay. I get there about 60 to 90 mins before boarding but thats typical everywhere nowadays.

It's very busy all day every day. Give yourself a lot of time between flights or to catch your flight. You may have to walk a long way to get your bags. The restaurants are okay for airport fare, certainly not the best, but edible.

No different than any other large airport.

Crowded but a lot of space .The corridors are large and all the employees are so helpful.
If you ask me , its a breeze compared to Orlando , Chicago , Philly .

Yes, it's very busy - but it's a pretty major airport, so that's to be expected.

well being form NY i would have to say, its pretty much like any other international airport that i been to. my job takes me allover the world and i been to all most all the major airports in the world. JFK is just like it was shown in terminal (the movie with Catherin Zeta Jones and Tom Hanks). the best American airport is LAX the los angeles international airport, and the best airport that i like out side good old us, was the international airport in japan.

randy p

yeah, crowded

not too bad though

Coo coo achoo
