    T-4, I'm really feeling you these days. You've gone from a lackluster terminal that was practically…read moreSoviet to a place that I actually look forward to spending that requisite 2 hours for an international flight I love that it affords you the ability to get some serious movement in before an 8 hour + flight. I may looking on the bright side here, but seriously, it's good for you. You'll get those 10K steps in before being immobile in a seat for hours. There are really good options for food and drink plus an array of airport lounges like the Capital One Lounge which I really liked. There is Eataly for god's sake! How can you complain about any of this? Do you remember what T-4 used to be like? The gates seem to offer good seating with outlets galore and even some lounge chairs that recline if you wish to get some Zs in before that too long time you're about to be suffering in coach.

    Usually fly out of LaGuardia, but no direct flights to Porland, OR so had to come to JFK. First…read moretime at Delta Terminal and it was huge. Be prepared to get some exercise walking from TSA to the gate. I was trying to find Capital One Lounge and got kind of lost. By the time I checked into the Lounge, one of the staff informed me that it was a twenty-minute walk from Lounge to the actual gate. Acquired lots of step walking to the gate then back to find the lounge and then back to the gate to depart. Terminal is gorgeous with lots of eateries and areas to shop but it is definitely a hike of you are further away. Coming back got lost finding the Air Train. Thank goodness someone was able to give me directions. It's like a maze here. Was in one area and had to take escalator and then go up and down to get to Air Train. I will stick with LaGuardia unless there are no direct flights then JFK will do.

    Just like the TWA Hotel, whenever I'm flying in and out of JFK, I visit the TWA Flight Center as…read morewell. Have been doing so for years (almost ever since the reopening). But, you guessed it, never reviewed. Heck, I only recently reviewed the hotel like six months ago. It's because I have tons of pending draft reviews to work through. Anyway, I absolutely love this structure and the way the terminal was brought back to glory. The architecture and interior design are simply brilliant. Love the bar/restaurant, lounge, gift shop, Photo Booth!!!, historical uniform display, hair salon replica, offices replicas, tons of cool and vintage seating areas to stretch out and relax. Let's not forget taking a swim in the rooftop pool or having a cocktail in the Connie. To me, the flight center is pure perfection.

    The Trans World Airline (TWA) Flight Center was designed by architect Eero Saarinen and it was…read moredescribed as being similar to a "Leonardo da Vinci flying machine". It was completed in 1962 and open for business. The original head house (aka: terminal building), operated as a functioning terminal until 2001. The exterior of the building, along with the interior, of the head house were declared landmarks in 1994. Moreover, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. Today it is part of the TWA hotel complex, but anyone can visit the flight center, lounges, gift shop, food court, and museum area. In addition to the original building, it has been partially surrounded by additional hotel buildings. Inside, the former terminal has been restored to its former glory. You can see the open three-level tall windows with amazing views of departing and arriving jets in the sunken lounge area. There are the tube-shaped, red-carpeted departure/arrival corridors that now lead to rooms in the hotel, but used to connect the gates. Now various places in the head house and flight center are museum-type displays for the former airline. It is a very interesting place for anyone to check out the displays and read about the history of TWA. Moreover, there are additional items to check out like the old cars and the huge Twister game. Whether you stay at the hotel or just need a few hours to kill on your layover...this is "something to do". Personal Note: I thoroughly enjoyed seeing everything in the flight center. It brought back so many wonderful memories. When I was a little girl, my family and I used to look forward to flying in and out of here back when my dad worked for the airlines. We loved this airport and mainly because of this terminal...it was fun and different. With the way they have restored it, it almost seems like I entered a time machine to another time. I am forever grateful they gave this building a new life. I hope other families make new memories and remember the old ones as I did. It's a very special place and there is nothing like it!

    Another Decent Delta experience. This terminal feels a bit…read moreolder, but it still had some good food options. It's pretty Mid on the Delta/Airport experiences I've had to date.

    Ok I am comparing this airport to other international airport I been thru…read more This has to be the worse terminal I have experienced. The departure deck was closed. That's understandable as of all the construction. Everyone had use arrivals lane and wait on the elevator almost 30 minutes to get to departure level.. I found the airline check in area organized and easy to navigate thru. Now TSA at this terminal is like a Abbot and Costello routine. They seem not be coordinated or can work as a unit. It's never a pre-check line always told is a staffing issue. After 10 years you think they have resolved how rotate or reassign staff based on flight demands. The bathrooms are the worse I have seen. Extremely small stall luggage barely fits. I saw no bidets that most international Asian and Middle East airports have even if domestic. The waiting gate area needs more power ports. They also need replace seating that's worn and peeling. If you want to have world class facilities and be the face of NY or even US they need to go look at Incheon ,Hong Kong,Dubai ,or Singapore as example of a quality and classy terminal. You are not charged for luggage cars, floors are spotless,waiting areas are not plan or blah, and decent shopping and food offerings.
