No probably not. JFK is
No probably not. JFK is about an hour from Manhattan (that's without traffic)
I have the same question...I
I have the same question...I have an 8 hour layover
With an 8-hour layover, you
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.
availability of translation/escort services
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!
Naschyot Delta!
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
Spasibo bolshoje! U vas sluchajno ne budet telefona Delty? I can't find it on their website...
From JFK to BWI
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
NEW BODY SCANNERS
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.
"concerned and outraged"
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.
be careful what you wish for
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
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.
Transportation between terminals
What is the best way to get from Terminal 8 (American) to Terminal 3 (Delta)?
