Reservation issue after upgrading a United flight booked through JetBlue

Has anyone dealt with a situation like this before? Here's the background: I booked a fully United-operated itinerary through JetBlue and later paid United to upgrade one segment to business class. I contacted customer service twice and received conflicting information. The...

I am having trouble accessing the waitlist and live capacity for the JFK lounge

I am trying to use the lounge access features for the JFK lounge, but I am running into an issue. When I try to view the live capacity or join the waitlist, it does not seem to be working properly. I am not sure if this is a temporary glitch, a system outage, or a change in how...

Is the 9:11 PM SFO to JFK Flight Flagship First?

I’m trying to figure out whether the 9:11 PM nonstop flight from San Francisco (SFO) to New York JFK offers Flagship First. In the app, most other direct SFO–JFK flights show a “Flagship” label and are operated by A321T aircraft, but this particular flight doesn’t appear to have...

Found reasonably priced drinks at JFK

Airport prices can be brutal, so I wanted to share a small tip for anyone traveling through JFK. Near gates 27/28 (just past the BlueHouse area), there's a convenience store with "New York" in the name that sells drinks at much more reasonable prices than most airport vendors. I...

Seat reclining led to an in-flight dispute on a red-eye JetBlue flight

During a transatlantic overnight JetBlue flight from JFK, I was seated in the last row of Even More Space, with standard economy seats directly behind me. I usually deal with lower back discomfort on flights, so after working upright for several hours, I slightly reclined my...

Is a 2 hour 10 minute layover at JFK enough for immigration and recheck?

This is my parents’ itinerary. They have a 2 hour 10 minute layover at JFK where they need to collect their luggage, clear US immigration, and then check in again for a connecting flight to Austin. Will this be enough time to complete immigration, recheck bags, and make the...

How I got reimbursed after an improper tow at JFK Terminal 4 damaged my AWD car

I wanted to share my experience dealing with a towing company at JFK Terminal 4 and explain what actually helped me get reimbursed after my AWD vehicle was damaged during towing. My car was towed from the departures area while I was helping my mother with luggage. The tow truck...

What happened to Frontier’s LAX–JFK route? Is it seasonal or permanently cut?

I fly between Los Angeles (LAX) and New York (JFK) multiple times a month, usually around 4–6 one-way trips. A couple of months ago I noticed Frontier stopped operating this route. I’m wondering if this is just seasonal, or if the route has been permanently removed. I assume...

JFK → DOH flight experience on Qatar Airways

Sharing a recent positive experience regarding a JFK to Doha journey. My parents were originally scheduled on an earlier departure (9:00 PM), but about two weeks prior to travel, the airline proactively updated their itinerary and rebooked them onto a later flight (QR706...

JFK T5 4 hours early… already regretting it

Got to JFK Terminal 5 a full 4 hours early thinking I was being smart. Now I’m just sitting here watching the same departures board and questioning all my life choices. Security took like 10 minutes.

Separate tickets through JFK… do you have to redo security?

I’ve done something similar before and it really depends on how “connected” everything is. If both flights are in the same terminal and you’re not checking bags, you might be able to just stay airside and go straight to your next gate. That’s the ideal case. But with separate...

JFK Terminal 8 baggage check that early… will they even take bags?

Flying out of JFK T8 on AA at 11am and was planning to get there super early around 4:30–5am to beat the chaos and hang in the Admirals Club. Then realized bag drop might not even open that early since it’s usually limited to a few hours before departure. Now wondering if...

Had a pretty surreal travel moment today.

Had a pretty surreal travel moment today. JFK to SFO got delayed, then fully cancelled. I left the lounge and headed to the gate to deal with bags. Then suddenly they announce the flight might be back on if they can find a captain. Apparently the original crew couldn’t make it,...

JFK Terminal 8 TSA PreCheck line in the morning

I have a flight departing at 9:30 AM on Thursday from JFK Terminal 8 and I’m trying to get an idea of what to expect with TSA PreCheck. For anyone who went through security there this morning, how bad were the lines? Just trying to figure out how early I should plan to arrive.

TSA PreCheck experience at JFK around 4:30 PM on March 14

I’m curious what the TSA PreCheck lines were like at JFK around 4:30 PM on March 14. Trying to get a sense of how busy security tends to be around that time of day and whether PreCheck actually moves quickly during the afternoon rush.

Priority Pass experience at JFK Terminal 1 (March 11)

Went through TSA at JFK T1 around 9pm and tried a few Priority Pass lounges. Air France lounge turned me away saying they don’t accept PP at that hour. Lufthansa lounge also denied entry saying it was only for business class passengers. Korean Air lounge was closed when I first...

TSA closed at JFK Terminal 7… where should we go for security?

First time flying out of JFK Terminal 7 and a bit confused by what I’m seeing online. Our plan is to fly into Newark (EWR), take an Uber to JFK, and then depart internationally from Terminal 7. We usually use LaGuardia, so both of these airports are new to us. When checking wait...

1h25 connection at JFK from international to domestic… doable?

I’m flying Athens to JFK (arriving Terminal 4) and then connecting to a domestic flight to Chicago from the same terminal. The layover is 1 hour 25 minutes. No checked bags, and I have Global Entry and TSA PreCheck. Assuming the flight lands on time, I’m hoping that helps speed...

Pickles at JFK duty free?

Traveling next week to visit a friend and trying to bring a small gift in my carry on. She loves pickles, so I thought it would be fun to bring some good New York pickles. Not sure if anything like that is sold at duty free at JFK though. Would be perfect if they had something...

45+ minutes for bags at JFK T4. Brutal.

Someone posted they’ve been waiting over 45 minutes at JetBlue baggage claim in Terminal 4 and still no luggage. After a long flight, that’s the absolute last thing you want. You’re already tired and just trying to get home, and then you’re stuck staring at an empty carousel....

JFK lounge options with Alaska Gold and ATMOS Summit passes?

JFK can definitely be confusing with lounges. Since you’re Alaska Gold which is oneworld Sapphire and flying Finnair internationally, you should have oneworld lounge access regardless of cabin. That usually gets you into the oneworld partner lounges at JFK when departing on a...

Terminal 4 Uber at 2:30am… what is going on?

Live in NYC and have flown into JFK a ton, but T4 pickup last night was a mess. It was around 2:30am. Multiple Ubers showed as “arriving” or “here” but I walked up and down the pickup area and they were nowhere. Some didn’t answer calls, others kept saying “be there soon.” I had...

Airport gate outlets are basically decorative at this point

Currently at JFK staring at like 20 outlets at this gate and not a single one actually holds a charger. Every plug is so loose that if you even look at it wrong, it falls out. I’m literally bracing my power brick against the wall with my foot just to keep it charging. Who...

My dad might have gotten scammed at Terminal 7

My dad landed at Terminal 7 and tried to grab a regular yellow cab to my place. He said he waited in the taxi line but was told yellow cabs were only going to Manhattan, which already sounds strange to me. They ended up putting him in a different car that was not Uber or Lyft....
