If it departs from Terminal 2 get the shuttle bus. If your plane departs Terminal 4 you just have to go to your gate. Then go back through security in TerminalĤ. When you arrive at Terminal 4 at JFK, Global Entry should get you Terminal - lots of jet-lagged people who had all forgotten to empty The biggest time suck was in going through security to reenter the For both trips I made through Kennedy this Fall, my Atlanta flight My least favorite terminal is Terminal 5 (jetBlue) because the walk to the ticket area & security from the Airtrain is about a 10 minute walk when it's crowded.Ĭontinental, thanks for the info about the Jitney-I didn't know about The Airtrain stop at Terminal 4 is great as it drops you off inside the terminal so all you have to do is take the escalator to departures. All domestic flights I've taken are either at Terminal 4 at JFK or at La Guardia. I haven't been to Terminal 2 in ages so I didn't remember. Then, travelers have to cross the street to enter Terminal 2.Īhhhhhh. Take to reach the ground level where there is some surface parking. The Green Parking Garage, whose shared elevator/stairs travelers must Talking about the AirTrain stop for Terminal 2 being at the front of What a crazy idea! On that particular day, which route was faster and how much faster - taking the Airtrain landside or the Jitney I think the posters who mention the parking lot are We arrivedĪt the Terminal 2 gate well before boarding time for our connecting We both had Global Entry/TSA Precheck and no checked bags. Of us took the AirTrain and the other the Delta Jitney just for kicks. Having said that, a friend and I did a 90-minute internationalĬonnection at JFK in May, going from Terminal 4 to Terminal 2 - one T4 is one of the long ones so that Jitney can quite useful even going from one gate in T4 to the other. The gates once assigned are on the many departure boards as well as on the Delta app so that certainly helps. Is departing from so you can take the bus that's going to whicheverĮnd is closer to your gate.) You stay airside the whole time. Take the bus T2 to T4, you'll want to know what gate your flight in T4 :-)Īs has been noted, there's a bus that goes between Terminal 2 (by gateĬ60) and both ends of Terminal 4 (which is a looong terminal. What a pain! As for signage to the jitney, there could be more, no doubt. Pam, that someone directed you to the Airtrain is bonkers or just plain ignorant. Wound up walking thru a parking structure because my SIL was in painĪnd I was afraid we were not going to wind up at a Terminal. Perhaps it's more evident to those who areįamiliar with this airport and perhaps the signage is just not goodīut yes, this is what happened to us as well. In a parking lot, then had to walk thru a parking garage (with others) I perhaps was just not being able to follow transit signs but on myĭelta to Delta transit thru JFK I did have the same experience withīeing pointed to the AirTrain to the next terminal and being let off You will still won't end up at a parking lot! :-) If other terminals are involved, then the Airtrain is a must. There is only jitney route and that is between Terminals 2 and 4. Third, the pain of JFK is having a layover in which you are FORCED to take the Airtrain if are arriving at one terminal and leaving from another that has no jitney. If you were on an Airtrain that ended at Federal Circle, there must have been a problem at either Jamaica or Howard Beach and you also missed Terminal 2 or 4. There is also a terminal-only Airtrain that keeps going in a circle only to the terminals. Both of those Airtrains stop at Federal Circle, in the middle of both routes, that has parking and car rentals. One can either go to Jamaica rail station or the Howard Beach subway station. There is no Airtrain whose destination is a parking lot. Second, the Airtrain goes to all terminals at JFK. Lot which would be very unpleasant if it were cold or rainy.įirst, both Terminals 2 and 4 have domestic departures - not just one terminal. International flight is a real pain at Kennedy-the Airtrain doesn'tĮven take you to the domestic terminal-it puts you out in the parking Take the later flight to TPA.Ĭonnecting for a Delta domestic flight after arriving on a Delta That all said.I think 2 hours, 35 minutes could be pushing it if your inbound from FCO is late. There is a Jitney between Terminal 4 and Terminal 2 airside so you don't have to waste time on the Airtrain. There is also a 50% chance it will depart from Terminal 2. You will arrive at Terminal 4 and there is a 50% chance your TPA flight will depart from Terminal 4. If you are flying all Delta, YOU WON'T NEED THE AIRTRAIN.
