long layover
I have a 10 hour layover at JFK. Is there anything close that I could go see or do? Any recommendations on how to spend that LONG layover...? ;)
thanks!
You could get to Manhattan
You could get to Manhattan in a little over one hour from JFK by LIRR from Jamaica Station (take Airtrain from your terminal). LIRR will take you to Penn Station-midtown-34th St. E subway from Jamaica runs along 50th St. and then south on 8th Ave. The 42nd St. stop is close to Times Square. Most subway lines are accessible from Penn Station or just a few blocks away to take you anywhere. Just remember travel time back to JFK is at least one hour and you need to be back two hours prior to departure for check-in and security. Get yourself a subway map, the E and LIRR will get you to/from to Jamaica and Airtrain, the A (Far Rockaway only) will get you to/from Howard Beach where there is also Airtrain access to JFK.
Things to do
There's nothing to do around JFK other than going to other terminal (there's 8 of them) and check what to do around there.. I know there are some really good shopping locations inside the airport but other than that, that's pretty much it.. There's a mall maybe 4 miles away from the airport but it's not that good.. If you want to go to the city it will cost you more than 40 dollars to take a cab and the subway sucks to take it from JFK... ur bettet off just staying there drinking some beers.

Reg Transit
I am travelling by Quwait airways and land on 16th Oct at 15.00 hrs I have a connecting flight by AA to BDA at 17.25. Is is possible to go out and meet relatives outside the terminal and return for check in
Possibly you can meet when
Possibly you can meet when you change terminals, you will likely arrive at terminal 4 and depart from terminal 8. You won't have much time!
Getting to Manhattan
Listen, whatever you do, do not be talked into a 'taxi' from within the terminal. After a long flight I allowed this. We were driven by an unlicensed carrier from a car park at the airport to our hotel. No hassles, straight there.
We were charged $110!!!
We were expecting $55
There is a 'Yellow Cab' line outside the terminal. Use this it is a fixed price and safe. We could have been taken anywhere by a stranger. Looking back it was dangerous and foolish. If you get approached call security. Some of these guys are not registered or insured.
Transport
Hi, how would you suggest getting to JFK from manhattan at roughly 330 am? Thanks.
Taxi is safest, easiest,
Taxi is safest, easiest, most direct $45+tolls+tip. Would not suggest public transportation (subway) at that hour.

My husband and I are flying
My husband and I are flying on 16th october from greece to JFK with a connecting flight to cleveland with delta airlines. We would like to know the following:
- do we have to take our luggage at JFK and check in for cleveland, or baggage is transferred automatically
- can checking-in be done automatically from greece directly to cleveland
- how much time do we need in order to get through the passport control so as to be on time for our connecting flight
thanking you in advance
Even though your bags are
Even though your bags are checked all the way through you will still need to pick them up at customs at JFK and have them cleared at JFK. If you see CLE on your bag tags, you will be able to drop them off at a special bag drop-off area located right after leaving customs; after that, you can go to your flight to CLE provided you have your boarding pass for that flight. On a side note, Airline Alliances don't mean much, they're just a big marketing scheme. All major airlines in the world comunicate with each other to a certain extent regardless of Alliance afiliation. So if you are connecting on a different airline, most airlines can check bags through on most flights. If they don't, in most cases you can insist strongly on it and it should happen. Have a nice flight.
If you are travelling direct
If you are travelling direct by Delta airlines...you will make a dispatch direct in Greece to Cleveland, and your luggage will follow direct without necessity to redispatach in JFK, but if you will fly from another company you must to check if they have any agreement (Sky team, Star alliance,etc) that allows you dispatch direct and make a connection with a available time
Does anyone know how could i
Does anyone know how could i ask for information regarding passenger on a flight? I'm worried and interested to find out if my sister catched a flight between New York(JFK) and Paris (CDG). Can the airport offer me this kind of info? (if she managed to check-in). Thanks
