    DFS at Terminal 4 of JFK is an interesting concept for a Duty Free store - it is split into…read moresections from fragrances to alcohol-related products in multiple sections of the Terminal, this means It isn't one of those huge stores everyone is forced to walk through after security if they want to get to the rest of the airport, including to their aircraft - and I like that, however the concept of the store seems to go from good to confusing when they state you must order and pay for goods in advance before collecting them at your gate - I really don't understand why I had to wait until my gate, they basically took my money and my item and due to a large number of orders for my Virgin Atlantic flight back to MAN from JFK, the guy seemed to get confused easily which just meant the whole picking up system didn't work - come on, what's the reason behind this? They did have a pretty decent selection of what you'd typically find in gluten-free with a few American twists which included a USA flag branded bottle of Absolut vodka - I didn't find the Duty Free prices to offer value for money here compared to other airports though, the prices weren't really expensive don't get me wrong but especially with the booze, it is often pretty easy to get it for a similar price in a supermarket or other retailer including Amazon in the UK for that price. I didn't find many staff around the store either meaning it was harder to ask questions when needed, although the store did have a good feel to it and was much better than other Duty Frees in terms of feel and layout, service seemed to decline and even price in comparison to Stockholm for example. 3*

    Ok so JFK terminal 4 is large and set up so that after security you basically walk into a mall-like…read moreatmosphere of stores. They all seem to sell the same thing! I needed a watch and i have been happy with swatch in the past so i went for it. This store is smaller so it felt approachable and the Swatch were on display right in front. They had all styles and prices and in stock. The watch boxes were conveniently located behind the ones on display so u could reach back and help yourself and not wait for a sales clerk, which really speeds up check out. She was super fast and even coreected the time for me so i could wear it out. There are other brands and merchandise and yet no perfume so i could actually breathe for once in a duty- free shop. Thank you!!

    Everytime I travel to NYC I fly into JFK because it's just what I'm used to. Fairly simple to…read moreeither take the subway into Manhattan or use the Uber Shuttle. Highly recommend the Uber Shuttle, you can schedule ahead and it's $25 per guest, and has multiple destinations across Manhattan to choose from as your drop off spot. It also beats having to haul your luggage in the subway. We used it in our most recent trip to travel back to the airport too. Airport is huge - expected - so prepare to do a good amount of walking. There's also a whole mall in there to shop. I never buy anything but I like going to see the New York themed displays at the Lego Store. When flying out, arrive extra early because the TSA lines can get really long and move slowly. They also might suddenly change your departure gate, and it can be up to a 20 minute walk away from the original gate if you're unlucky.

    Yelp Review 2026 #241:…read more I flew in to JFK Terminal 4 from Santiago, Chile and had to catch a domestic flight to Las Vegas also in terminal 4. However, I still had to go through immigrations, recheck my luggage and go through security again. I have Global Entry, Sky Priority and TSA Precheck so, the process was much shorter for me but the walk from my arrival gate to departure gate and everything in between was quite a lot with only 2 hours for a layover. Terminal 4 has nice restaurants and shops: The Palm if you want steak, Boqueria for tapas, Japanese spots if you want sushi, Mi Casa Cantina if you want Mexican food, Shake Shack if you want something really casual (a burger after being away from home for weeks always sounds good), Eataly if you want some pizza/ pasta - they also have prepacked sandwiches and fruit cups if you're in a hurry. They have nice lounges here too: Etihad, Emirates, Amex Centurion, Capital One, Chase Sapphire, Virgin Atlantic, Delta Sky, and Delta One. There's plenty to choose from if you have access (whether through credit card or airline). JFK is a massive airport. Lots of airlines means lots of flights which means lots of people which means delay and chaos. With a quick stop at Delta One Lounge, I managed to board my flight only slightly late.

    Another Decent Delta experience. This terminal feels a bit…read moreolder, but it still had some good food options. It's pretty Mid on the Delta/Airport experiences I've had to date.

    Ok I am comparing this airport to other international airport I been thru…read more This has to be the worse terminal I have experienced. The departure deck was closed. That's understandable as of all the construction. Everyone had use arrivals lane and wait on the elevator almost 30 minutes to get to departure level.. I found the airline check in area organized and easy to navigate thru. Now TSA at this terminal is like a Abbot and Costello routine. They seem not be coordinated or can work as a unit. It's never a pre-check line always told is a staffing issue. After 10 years you think they have resolved how rotate or reassign staff based on flight demands. The bathrooms are the worse I have seen. Extremely small stall luggage barely fits. I saw no bidets that most international Asian and Middle East airports have even if domestic. The waiting gate area needs more power ports. They also need replace seating that's worn and peeling. If you want to have world class facilities and be the face of NY or even US they need to go look at Incheon ,Hong Kong,Dubai ,or Singapore as example of a quality and classy terminal. You are not charged for luggage cars, floors are spotless,waiting areas are not plan or blah, and decent shopping and food offerings.
