JFK, the John G Kennedy International Airport is the prime airport in New York that caters international flights. As such, it is the gateway for New Yorkers to go abroad. Similarly, the large numbers of visitors avail of this airport to reach the USA. The Terminal 4 is basically used for internationl flights. Therefore, it has strict security environment. It is easy to commute to and from between the NY city and the JFK mostly due to introduction of the skytrain. It is fast and frequent. The airport has a decent number of dutyfree shops, and various food outlets. It is wide and spacious.

I fly through JFK Terminal 8 about four or five times a year, and it's consistently a smooth experience. The terminal is easy to navigate, and it's never a hassle to find your gate. The American Airlines and British Airways lounges are comfortable, clean, and well stocked with food and drinks—a great place to relax before a flight. There’s a solid variety of shops and eateries along the concourse, and one standout is the large Starbucks near Gate 10, which is perfect for grabbing a coffee before boarding. While there’s often some construction going on, it’s never disruptive and doesn’t take away from the overall experience. A well-run terminal that keeps improving with time.

Even with some staff calling out because of the government shutdown, I’m truly grateful for those who showed up and kept things running. Traveling can be stressful, but they handled it with patience and professionalism. The lines here do get long, so give yourself plenty of time — being early makes a big difference. On the bright side, there are lots of food options and plenty of tables to sit, eat, and relax before your flight.

The Delta hub at JFK. There are 2 concourses here with a walkway in between. Easy access and navigation. Great signage and the moving sidewalks makes it easy walk through the terminal. Plenty of places to grab a drink or something to eat. It can be pricey but there’s no place to go.

One of the busiest airport in the north east of USA and it’s just too big too handle airport . It’s the headache for the tsa and too many people arriving at this airport from across the Atlantic. Too diverse community and work place . A lot of food and items to choose from at this place. It’s not convenient to arrive or leave from there to New York . And the airport is too huge and it’s not connected correctly . One has to go out of airport to go to different terminal . The staff is not helpful and it might be cause it’s just too huge and busy always all time of year .

John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in New York City is always an intense experience. I’ve traveled through it multiple times, and every visit reminds me why it’s one of the busiest international hubs in the U.S. The airport is huge and has a lot to offer, but it can also be overwhelming when things get crowded or delayed. During my recent trip, I appreciated the variety of dining and shopping options, and many areas were surprisingly clean. Terminal 4, in particular, stood out with its lounges, pet relief areas, massage spots, and plenty of stores. Some lounges especially the Capital One Lounge offered an impressive, high-end experience that genuinely made my time at the airport more comfortable. Transportation to and from JFK is convenient enough, with the AirTrain, taxis, and shuttles, although car services can get pricey during peak hours. Still, there were some frustrations. Passport control and baggage claim took much longer than expected, and the understaffing was noticeable. On my last visit in 2025, I landed around 9 PM and ended up waiting for more then a hour before I finally got through. Parking is expensive, and the busier terminals can feel chaotic. Smaller terminals like Terminal 7 are cramped and have limited food options, which doesn’t help when you’re already tired from traveling. Overall, JFK has its highs and lows, but it remains a memorable part of traveling to and from New York.
