    Meats! Cheese!

    This was an incredibly fun experience. Everyone visiting NYC should go and check the whole thing out. The hotel lobby, the bars, the displays, gift shops and in addition, I strongly suggest everyone should have a cocktail in the Connie SO FUN! One day I hope to stay at the TWA Hotel

    Cool sign!

    This was like going to the Smithsonian. They had a twister room. They had a room that looked like a family room from the 70s. We had a drink in the lobby and on the plane bar. It was pricey. They also sell TWA souvenirs. Even though the food and drinks were pricey it was a fun experience.

    Walk down the futuristic fifties tunnel and you go back in time to the original TWA terminal at JFK. Long closed, along with the bankrupt airline, it rises again as a hotel with its sunken departure lounge a cocktail bar, and a cafe upstairs. This is second day, and they're doing well. Over opening week, they have had dancing pilots and flight attendants, and little airline badges. JetBlue's terminal 5 cuts the view of the runway, but they have a restored vintage Lockheed Constellation aircraft parked by the windows for show. If you have a little time until your next flight, or you need a place to overnight, this place is a lot of fun, got that right!

    A nostalgic, fun time. Great for lovers of timeless architecture. Sit down and have a drink or snack in the flight center or in the "Connie". If you are laying over or have time in between connections at JFK it's a great stopover. Did not stay in the hotel but got a peek inside the rooms and they look small but adequate.. maybe you'll even play twister in the room sized twister board!

    Okay. First the pros. Magical atmosphere Magical staff Magical building Iconic building Great bars Great food 10* bed 10* pillows Now the cons No porters Insane walking if handicapped No hot water No privacy blinds (absurd with such wonderful views) No USB ports No wake up call Tv doesn't work I spoke to Heather (who was one of the magical Staff), who was wonderful. I booked and paid for a king runway room. Got a queen room with view of the uniform museum. She was 10*. I will always stay here (and recommend it) in spite of the glitches that will hopefully get ironed out.

    It was the age of dreams. The age with no limits. The era of challenges, creativity and imagination. When everything was possible if you set your mind to it... And the era when Eero Saarinen draw the inspiring lines of his timeless masterpieces. Gateway Arch, Ingalls Rink and - TWA terminal. It was 1961. I was not even born yet when Saarinen passed away, just year before TWA was completed. His sketches were brought to life after his death, and now they are iconic landmarks we all know and admire. To fully understand and appreciate the grandiosity of this, take a look at his pencil drawings (in the age of google and year 2013, they are easy to find). Singing lines, pure music in architectural form. He did not just design functional structures - he created. He dreamed. He imagined. I been to TWA terminal couple times before it closed it doors in 2001, but every time I fly out of JFK this days, I still look out for it - a small bird ready to take off into open sky... Hopefully, one day, it will reopen for all of us to visit once again - as a hotel and conference center from what I heard, but really, as a symbol of creativity and spirit that are grand and limitless. "I think of architecture as a total of everything we have around us..." he said. Very much true. Dare we to dream big.

    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.

    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.
