A friend is flying in from Chicago on Delta Comair Connection, arriving at 6:10 pm on Wed eve into Terminal 3. She is departing on El Al at 11:50 pm from Terminal 4. She keeps kosher and would like to leave the airport to go out to dinner in Lawrence or Cedarhurst. Do we have time to do this? Where should I meet her when she arrives? Will her bag be transferred from Delta Comair to El Al, or do we have to do this? Will she be able to check in at El Al and check her bag as soon as she arrives from Chicago? If she does so, what time will she have to be back at El Al to go thru security? Is there any kosher food pre-security at JFK? Post-security? If so, can I get a gate pass to go with her to a post-security restaurant?
