    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.

    Just like the TWA Hotel, whenever I'm flying in and out of JFK, I visit the TWA Flight Center as…read morewell. Have been doing so for years (almost ever since the reopening). But, you guessed it, never reviewed. Heck, I only recently reviewed the hotel like six months ago. It's because I have tons of pending draft reviews to work through. Anyway, I absolutely love this structure and the way the terminal was brought back to glory. The architecture and interior design are simply brilliant. Love the bar/restaurant, lounge, gift shop, Photo Booth!!!, historical uniform display, hair salon replica, offices replicas, tons of cool and vintage seating areas to stretch out and relax. Let's not forget taking a swim in the rooftop pool or having a cocktail in the Connie. To me, the flight center is pure perfection.

    The Trans World Airline (TWA) Flight Center was designed by architect Eero Saarinen and it was…read moredescribed as being similar to a "Leonardo da Vinci flying machine". It was completed in 1962 and open for business. The original head house (aka: terminal building), operated as a functioning terminal until 2001. The exterior of the building, along with the interior, of the head house were declared landmarks in 1994. Moreover, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. Today it is part of the TWA hotel complex, but anyone can visit the flight center, lounges, gift shop, food court, and museum area. In addition to the original building, it has been partially surrounded by additional hotel buildings. Inside, the former terminal has been restored to its former glory. You can see the open three-level tall windows with amazing views of departing and arriving jets in the sunken lounge area. There are the tube-shaped, red-carpeted departure/arrival corridors that now lead to rooms in the hotel, but used to connect the gates. Now various places in the head house and flight center are museum-type displays for the former airline. It is a very interesting place for anyone to check out the displays and read about the history of TWA. Moreover, there are additional items to check out like the old cars and the huge Twister game. Whether you stay at the hotel or just need a few hours to kill on your layover...this is "something to do". Personal Note: I thoroughly enjoyed seeing everything in the flight center. It brought back so many wonderful memories. When I was a little girl, my family and I used to look forward to flying in and out of here back when my dad worked for the airlines. We loved this airport and mainly because of this terminal...it was fun and different. With the way they have restored it, it almost seems like I entered a time machine to another time. I am forever grateful they gave this building a new life. I hope other families make new memories and remember the old ones as I did. It's a very special place and there is nothing like it!

    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.
