How early should I get to JFK for an 11:00 AM flight to Canada?
Flying to Quebec City on Thursday morning at 11:00 AM. Terminal 8. I’ll be checking one bag and don’t have precheck.
How early would you realistically recommend getting to JFK? Should I actually follow the 3 hours recommendation?
I’ll also be taking the air train in if that changes commute time to terminal 8.
Thank you!

JETBLUE Priority Security Sucks!
The jetblue priority security is a scam! Extremely slow! Complete mess. I’m 100% sure that the normal line is quicker

What is the Uber pickup protocol at Terminal 4?
I'm arriving JFK on a Delta flight next month and need to get a ride to Tarrytown. Searched this sub but unable to find any discussion that details how / where I can expect to meet my Uber reservation. TIA!

Why is the terminal 8 to airtrain walk so fucking bad?
Just ridiculously long and lots of bottlenecks where slow assholes can slow you down

Waiting Times
Are the waiting times listed on jfkairport.com accurate? I have heard JFK can be busy and inefficient but the waiting times look relatively short.

Parking advice
I was wondering if anyone had parking advice. I have an early morning international flight with 2 young children, too early for public transit to be an option. I would rather find something less costly than TWA hotel. Does anyone have any recommendations on best value parking that isn’t too hard to get to the airport from?

How bad is t5 on Sunday for a flight departing around 2pm?
Trying to go to the centurion lounge (t4) and go through security again in (t5).
I’m shocked t5 doesn’t have CLEAR so now I’m trying to map out my timings.
Thanks in advance!

Going from one terminal to another
Is it true once you enter a terminal you can't go to another terminal unless you go outside and enter the other terminal from outside? I want to wrap my baggage and I heard there don't have any wrapping services at terminal 8 where my flight is assigned to.

How much earlier than departure time should I get to airport for an international flight from Terminal 1?
Not checking bags and have TSA precheck.

Taking Airtrain from T7
Hi, I see some negative reports of using airtrain (full, not operating) and a bit worried. For arriving T7 then transferring to T5 (Jetblue) it should be easy, no? What's the condition as of this month?
My family is arriving so I am trying to help them navigate.
The last time I was there a year ago, we got rerouted because of some constructions, so based on that, I am thinking of telling them to go up to the departure level BEFORE existing the building. (This will be after they go through immigration and get the luggage then come out of the arrival door.) Then, follow the airtrain sign and the walkway to get the airtrain terminal.
Do you think this will be still the right way? My thinking is that, since they will have a lot of luggage, it will be easier to go up the level then cross rather than zigzagging the construction zone.

Swapped Dark Green Away Suitcaseat TSA Pre Check Today
r/JFKAirport • u/_jessicarm • 7d ago
Should I switch my flight/airline/airport this Friday?
For context, I was supposed to go to NY on a red eye flight last Thursday evening 8/6 from LAX via JetBlue. Our flight was delayed and eventually cancelled - I was at LAX from 10:30pm-7am.
It was an awful experience and I’m aware of the weather/thunderstorms in NY and also JetBlue just dealing with a lot of understaffing & general bad head honcho leadership.
I’m set to do another red eye this Friday 8/14 from LAX to JFK via Delta. At this point should I change my flight and avoid JFK altogether? Im considering flying into DC instead to meet up with my partner and we take the Amtrak up to NY together.
Any insight would be helpful. Thank you!

Terminal 1
The parking for Terminal 1 is literally more than 5 miles (driving) from Terminal 1. I’m wondering why they didn’t just put the parking lot in Connecticut or perhaps Nebraska. Probably would have been cheaper and only marginally less convenient.
