Hi,
I'm arriving from Chicago and I have a 10 hour stay at JFK before I board a plane to Dubai. Does anyone know if there are hotels INSIDE the airport that I can stay in and pay for on an hourly basis? Also, is wireless internet available to all? I will be happy to pay for it.
Thanks.

I will be returning to the US from Germany on 8/10 into JFK. The following morning, 8/11, I will take a flight to my final destination in NC.

Hi
I will be flying from LAX in to JFK and arrive at 4:20pm in Terminal 4. I then have an international flight to catch on a different airline from Terminal 8 at 6:30pm.
Is this enough time to get my luggage and re-check in for an international flight?
Thanks
Hi we have over 5 hours to spend at JFK .Is that time enough to leave the airport and go see the statue of liberty take a pic and go back to the aiport or arn't we allowed to leave the airport?
No probably not. JFK is about an hour from Manhattan (that's without traffic)
With an 8-hour layover, you *could* get into manhattan for a quick visit. I'm assuming that both flights involved are domestic so there are no customs involved. Here's what you're looking at:
You need to be back at the airport an hour before your flight to clear security. We have 7 hours left.
The best way to get to the city is to take the Airtrain to Jamaica station, where you will get the Long Island Railroad to Penn Station. This trip costs $25 (peak times, round trip). Travel time is 35-45 minutes in each direction. Adding in time to find the Airtrain, etc., this is two hours round trip. We have five hours left.
Penn Station is at W. 34th Street between 7th Ave and 8th Ave. This gives you easy access to:
- Macy's (34th St & 7th Ave)
- The Empire State Building (34th St & 5th Ave)...but I wouldn't advise actually trying to go up into the ESB. The lines are brutally long.
- Times Square (around 42nd St and 7th Ave)
- Rockefeller Center (around 50th St between 5th and 6th Aves)
- The southern part of Central Park (starts at 59th Street)
- Shopping on 5th Ave.
Can you see the Statue of Liberty? Sure, but if you do, that's about all you'll be able to see (although you could see a bit of the financial district while you're in Battery Park).
Alternatively, get reservations at one of the great restaurants in the gramercy/union square area. Gramercy Tavern, Craft, Union Square Cafe, Blue Water Grill and Gotham Bar and Grill are just a few of the restaurants you could target. They're 10-15 minutes from Penn Station via cab or 10 minutes away via subway (take the N/Q/R/W trains from the station at 34th Street & Broadway).
So if you want to see NYC and you have 8 hours at the airport, you can definitely do so. Just plan carefully and be sure to leave yourself plenty of time to get back for your flight.
My parents who don't speak any English will be flying from Kyiv, Ukraine, to Atlanta, GA through JFK. All of their flight connections are with Delta. Is there a translation/escort service available at JFK to help them go through customs and find their next flight? They speak Russian and Ukrainian.
Thank you!
Privet Irina! Moya mama priletala v proshlom godu i toje cherez Deltu. Ya zvonil k nim i oni mne skazali shto u nih yest' russkogovoryashiye agents i oni pomogut. Tak oni i sdelali, vstretili moyu mamu i peresadili v drugoy samolyot do Nashville, TN gde ya i jivu. Servis byl velikolepnyy kak potom mama skazala. Ona takje obratno uletela cherez Delta i bez vsyakih problem!
Spasibo bolshoje! U vas sluchajno ne budet telefona Delty? I can't find it on their website...
I will travel from Bangkok - Maryland(near BWI). My flight will land around 7:30 am. Is the any coach or bus that I can take from JFK airport?
Thank you
I am very concerned and outraged that JFK has decided to adopt the new full body scanning system as a security measure. These scanners use low-energy electromagnetic waves to produce a computerized image of a traveler's entire body. The images are very graphic and are an invasion of passengers' privacy. For now, choosing to be scanned or "patted down" is a choice but I am sure this will quickly become mandatory. I ask that JFK review the use of these invasive machines and that passengers refuse to be scanned by them.
Dear "concerned and outraged".
What are you so concerned about? What exactly is so "private" that you need to hide it. Do you think that the screeners really care what you look like under your clothes? You and your privacy advocates need to grow up and face the fact that we live in a world where people are trying to bring harm to others. And no, this is not a "profiling" thing. The danger could come from anywhere and anyone. Stop worrying yourself with everyone's rights. What about my right to a safe flight? If something terrible were to happen, I promise that you will be the first one to say the Government isnt doing enough.
Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.
Benjamin Franklin
At least get the quote right:
Benjamin Franklin:'They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty or safety.'
The debate revolves around the term "essential" (interesting to see that's precisely the term you chose to omit). If you are trying to argue that you have an "essential" right to board planes without adequate screening for weapons, have phone conversations with known foreign terrorists, or stockpile bombmaking materials, then sorry, normal Americans will disagree with you in huge majorities.
What is the best way to get from Terminal 8 (American) to Terminal 3 (Delta)?
Hello,
I will be having a 10 hour layover at JKF coming from heathrow, laying over in JFK, then in Miami before my final estination of Panama. At JFK will I be able to get my bag and re-check it? I'd like to be able to clean up a bit and change clothes!
thank you
Alex
I arrive from France at 13h45 to JFK terminal 3. Then I want to go to Miami. Am I safe to buy a flight from terminal 8 at 15h55?
To get the laguage, to change terminal and to check in are 2 hours enought? otherwise next flight is at 18h50. Tnx
Should not be a problem if you are traveling with the same airline, since in the worst case scenario they will get you a seat in a different flight.
Otherwise 3 hours should be just the limit, since you should expect delays in the passport checkpoint and leave time for terminal change.
I am going to US to stay 3 weeks in a training, and after some days my wife will be travelling to stay 10 days with me. The problem is that she doesn't speak English. Her documents are OK, but do you know if there is a translator assistance (may be spanish) in the aiport in case she needs to answer something in custom office ?
hi! im going to travel for the first time on my own. i will arrive to JFK and my final destination is Carolina. i have been told that i dont need to do a check in, and i just need to take my bags strait to the place they take the bags to the plain. i'm a littel bit confused... how will i know where to go with my bags? am i suppose to go to the terminal my flight is?
please help
thanks!
If you are entering the US, you should go to customs, implying the need to get all your bags.
After you are cleared in customs, there is a special check bags point which is very efficient and avoids the need to go to the 3rd floor and check in bags.

I am travelling for the first time to Europe at the end of this month. Should I exchange my dollars for euros before I leave? Or will there be some place inside the airport where I can get them? If I can get euros at JFK, how much is the fee to do so?
