TWA Flight Center - Right next to T5 and not where the location pin is indicating the last I checked!

TWA Flight Center

0.7 mi•JFK Airport

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!

This is probably the most remarkable building in the state of NewYork. Repurposed from the old TWA…read moreterminal, this TWA Hotel Lobby was designed by Eero Saarinen. Inspired by the Sydney Opera House, Eero created this terminal to resemble a bird in flight. The photos says it all, but come here and experience the space for yourself. There is peripheral perception of space that you do not get from photographs. There is an air train that loops around all of the Terminals at JFK airport. Get off where it says TWA hotel and walk to the lobby or take Uber or Lyft and be dropped off at the front door.

JFK Airport Terminal 1

My biggest qualm with Terminal 1 is the TSA line. There is a precheck line marked but in reality…read morethere is no difference in your experience. You can show a red precheck stamp on your boarding pass in order to go through the metal detector scanning rather than the spinny hands-up one--that's about it. The queue lines are a bit unorganized. One good thing about terminal 1 is that most of the gates are within a very short walk of the TSA line completion. In terminal 4 for example, the general facilities are more upgraded and the TSA line is more organized. If you need to change terminals at JFK even for a domestic flight, you do have to exit the secure area, use the AirTrain, and re-enter another TSA line. That's very inefficient in 2026, although I recognize the challenge of being a huge airport. Other large airports (Atlanta, Dallas) still handle between-terminal transport well. Terminal 1 is largely home to all international airlines, like Air France and Lufthansa but not Delta. Duty-free purchasing is available.

This is a two part review:…read more Part 1: this Terminal is easy to navigate through, the security control portion was a breeze, there are numerous restaurants, the lounge waiting area is spacious and bathrooms were clean. Part 2: Scandinavian Airlines (SAS). Had a great experience with this airlines: the airline is roomy, lucky to have an aisle seat and then the whole aisle to myself! ( yay). The meal was quite good: vegetarian risotto and delicious wine. The airline crew were professional, accommodating and courteous. The flight left on time and arrived on time. Overall a great experience and flight!

Very quick and efficient when you go through the check point. No hold up, no hassle and the folks…read morewere pretty chill for security folks. Though I'm not overly impressed with JFK itself, the security team and TSA are doing a damned fine job and they take a lot of heat for it. Keep up the good work.

Friendly, thorough, but not so quick…read more.. The not-so-quick part is 10/90...10% TSA and 90% your fellow passengers. Folks...when you are standing in a security line and you know you have to take off your shoes, belt, take things out of your pockets, etc. and take out electronics...why don't you just do it? Why wait on the TSA folks to tell you? They are doing the best they can by basically herding folks through there while thoroughly checking every bag and every person for our safety as a whole. This is not a game...help the process! For extra entertainment, two people in front of us took off their shoes just before the conveyor and then put their items on the conveyor and just walked away to go through the screening. Hello!...what about your crap? Their shoes became a tripping hazard for everyone behind them and finally got kicked out of the way. They didn't push forward their bags and personal items...what the heck? Then TSA is trying to figure out whose bags and shoes they belong to. They come back with the attitude that someone else should have taken care of it. Huh? Who?...Me?...My kid?...I don't think so! We don't touch other people's personal items. Just my opinion, but when you pull crap like this...I wish, I wish, I wish TSA would pull those folks aside and make them wait to re-enter the queue. I realize we all may forget things in the madness, but you can tell the difference between folks that forget and those that just expect someone else to do it for them. But wait, doesn't stop there...on the other side...they stood in front of the conveyor to take their do-da time putting things back in their bags while the trays are backing up...and they just stood there...why? Waiting on the dang shoes they left behind! Boo! They wouldn't move or get out of the way, not even with a polite "excuse me" to let other folks get their things, which makes you have to push through to get your belongings. UGH! A few TSA folks were overseeing things and I know they are busy watching, but a simple "move to the side" that takes a second or two could have moved things along quicker and would have been awesome to help fellow passengers. Aside from this...it's like a well-oiled machine. A bit of advice I have for every traveler is to talk to the TSA folks. They are doing a thankless job by choice to ensure the safety of all of us. It's an important job! A simple "hello" or "how are you?" goes a long way. I agree that in some places in the USA they could definitely be friendlier and often on a power trip, but this is not one of those places, or at least not on the day we went through. The folks here were friendly and just trying to get you where you are going or need to be.
