Kennedy International Airport - IATA: JFK - ICAO: KJFK - City: New York - Country: US (US) - Timezone: America/New_York - Distance from city: approximately 26 km (16 mi) SE of Manhattan - Runways: 4 - Terminals: 5 - Annual passengers: 62.5M - Worldwide rank: #20 - Hub for: American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, JetBlue Airways - Official website: https://www.jfkairport.com/ ## Overview Welcome At John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), the TWA Hotel serves not just as an accommodation option but a destination on its own. This mid-century marvel invites layover travelers and locals alike with its iconic rooftop pool and planespotting bars, particularly the Connie Cocktail Lounge. Meanwhile, the airport's ongoing multi-year redevelopment reflects the juxtaposition of sleek new amenities alongside dated terminals still grappling with construction delays. At a glance JFK handles around 62.5 million passengers annually through five active terminals: 1, 4, 5, 7, and 8. Positioned roughly 26 km (16 miles) southeast of Manhattan, it acts as a hub for American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and JetBlue Airways. Despite having 42 dining options, meal facilities like Shake Shack in Terminals 4 and 5 are better bets for late-night travelers than the ghostly offerings post-10 p.m. in older terminals like 1 and 7. Terminals & layout Terminal 1 hosts airlines such as Austrian and Turkish, while the expansive Terminal 4 is home to Delta, Emirates, and Etihad. JetBlue firmly operates out of Terminal 5, considered a more modern space, with British Airways primarily in Terminal 7.… ## Terminals (5) - **Terminal 1** — airlines: Austrian Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Lufthansa, Air France URL: https://airport.flights/airport/jfk/terminals/1 -

_Insider_: Access the TWA Hotel’s Connie Cocktail Lounge via the red-signed elevator and tube from Terminal 5 for a top planespotting spot even without being a hotel guest. - _Money_: Use an old MetroCard or OMNY card for the AirTrain to avoid the long queues at Jamaica during high-volume flight banks. - _Time_: Aim for at least a 3-hour buffer when connecting between Terminals 1 and 4 or 8, especially if immigration and baggage re-check are involved. - _Avoid_: Rideshare pickups from Terminal 4 can shift to remote lots; during peak times, catching a yellow cab at the B-curb is quicker. - _Quiet_: Find solitude in Terminal 5’s far gates for calmer seating and available outlets. - _Local_: The pet relief area near T8’s parking offers a quick breath of outdoor air and a handy spot for those traveling with pets. - _Time_: Food options in Terminals 1 and 7 are sparse after 11 p.m.; plan to dine in Terminals 4 or 5 instead before heading to your flight. ## Travellers notes mentioning JFK - [An honest map of JFK’s terminals](https://airport.flights/notes/an-honest-map-of-jfks-terminals) — by Vivienne Park, 2026-06-08 A blunt guide to who flies from which JFK terminal, what the 90-minute MCT really means, and which buildings are actually tolerable. -
