Pros: It is easy to get around
Cons: Still a lot of construction
Summary: JFK has made many changes in the last few years. The AIR-TRAIN is one of the most notable. This has helped getting around and to and from the airport easier and faster in many ways. The AIR-TRAIN opened just a few months ago on December 17, 2003. The ...

Cons: Very RUDE and DISRESPECTFUL staff, long waits in long lines
Summary: The airport itself isn't bad, they have decent food if you're waiting at the terminal, fairly big building but not that complicated that you can't navigate your way around, and it has a very good location for those living in Jersey.However a huge ...

Pros: You'll eventually probably get on a plane.
Cons: There has been no effort to make it user-friendly. Hard to pick up arriving passengers.
Summary: This is my least favorite airport in New York as it's the longest drive into the city and post 9/11 there are employees stationed outside to prevent those coming to pick up passengers from waiting, which means someone in a car has to drive around the ...

Pros: close to Boston so next time I can just drive instead of fly.
Cons: disorganized, confused management, long waits, late gate updates, uninformed and rude staff
Summary: This is easily the most disorganized airport I have ever traveled through. We had a 1 hour layover to transfer flights and they almost made us late because the plane could not just park itself, we had to wait for a little car thing to tow us into ...

Pros: Many flights to international destinations
Cons: Bad design, hard to reach, chaotic, filthy, smelly, run down.
Summary: The Worst the World has to offer When you mention New York city, Connecticut residents seem to harbor extreme views of the Big Apple. Feelings range from disdain (I never set foot in that stinking shithole) to adoration (New York is ...

Pros: Quick and efficient if you do not have much luggage.
Cons: No place for an international traveler's luggage on LIRR.
Too many ticket purchases required.
Summary: I am not a NYC area resident but I use JFK for many international flights. I live in southern NJ so I do not have a friend or family drive me there. Instead I have taken Amtrak to Penn Station, then transferred to LIRR, then on the Air Train to JFK. ...

Pros: Lots of options for inexpensive international travel...
Cons: Poor design makes for myriad problems...
Summary: There's a lot of reasons for people to use New York's JFK International Airport. It's definitely one of America's largest and busiest airports, and it handles more trans-atlantic traffic than any other airport in America. If you want the absolute best ...

Pros: A rich history, an international gateway, and it's now receiving a sleek makeover.
Cons: Traffic and ramps can be chaotic at times, and its reinvention was long overdue.

Pros: Very big, lots to do while waiting for airplane, ample parking.
Cons: Long taxiing times to the runway, heavy delays in bad weather.
Summary: From my past experience JFK is not what I would call the best in airports but it does depend on how you experience the airport. Currently there are 9 different terminals to view the airport from, each one would give you a different feeling about the...

Pros: Plenty of direct flights to Europe.
Cons: Nearly everything else.
Summary: I hate JFK. Connections through JFK often require going from one terminal to another, meaning you have to clear security AGAIN! And delays! Any flight going through JFK is going to be delayed. Period! It, along with Newark, are

Pros: AirTrain works well. Cleaner newer terminals. Construction subsiding.
Cons: Still confusing. Bad signage in English only. Incredibly long distances.
Summary: It's true that JFK is getting better after years of being one of the most confusing/ugly airports in the US. The AirTrian works very well, but good luck with the mysterious (English only) signage...no color coding, no clear announcements, no explanations

Pros: Nothing
Cons: Terminals 8 and 9 are truly horrible
Summary: Avoid terminals 8 and 9 -- the American Airlines terminals -- at all costs. They are old, dilapidated and dirty. Worse, you often have to check in at the domestic terminal 9 for a domestic flight flight that leaves from the "international"
