12 reviews for JFK Airport Terminal 4
Wow there are so many haters.
It was 2 in the morning and I washed my hair here and took a nap in between flights.
It was mostly nice and quiet until the airport started getting noisy and woke me up at 4:45 am.
Words cannot express how much I hate JFK airport as a whole. I had one hour to catch a connecting flight here. Something happened and my plane from LAX couldn't park at our normal gate, so we were dropped off in the basement of this international terminal. Unfortunately, they didn't tell us passengers exactly where we were being dropped off. By the time I realized I had to leave the BUILDING in order to catch my next flight, it was becoming doubtful as to whether or not I would catch my plane to Vermont.
Nearly in hysterics, I talked to 4 different airport employees who all told me to go somewhere different. SO FRUSTRATING. I managed to find my correct terminal and FLEW through security (I think they could tell I was super frazzled, so the only reason the airport gets any stars at all is because security was nice to me and pretty much let me run right through).
I plan to avoid catching any connecting flights here from now on.
To add insult to injury, the absolutely amazing T5 is located one terminal away. Rest easy knowing that while you're forced to cop a squat on cold tile in a terminal that lacks proper seating, restaurant choices and free wifi, folks flying JetBlue just next door are livin' it up in the lap of luxury. They're browsing Muji to Go, getting pre-flight pedicures at XpresSpa, deciding what types of dipping sauces they'll have with their Pomme Frites. . .
Virgin America is the only thing that keeps me coming back to Terminal 4. And after they lied to my fellow passengers and me yesterday, announcing that we'd be flying on a wifi-equipped plane, only to tell us in the sky that we actually weren't, JetBlue is looking like a better and better option for my cross-country flights.

I hate you so much right now, Terminal 4.
How could you not think to put a restaurant in this… Read more »
This terminal makes me want to curl up in the fetal position and start crying.
Why are there no restaurants beyond security? Why is there no free wi-fi? Why do the bathrooms smell as though they haven't been cleaned in months? Why do the TSA folks act like they hate their lives and everyone who travels? Why, Terminal 4, WHYYYYY????!!!

You are a murderer of fun!
If you were my boyfriend, I would dump you. You are
-unreliable
-always late
-extremely rude
-you have weird foot fetishes and make me take off my shoes several times
-you go through my stuff
-and there's always an entourage of a gazillion useless people with you
Oh and that whole air tran thing is a total joke-who wants to go to Jamaica with valuables and luggage and then transfer without the ability to run quickly.
A word to the wise-take a cab to the airport

This has to be one of the worst airports / terminals I've been to. You call this an International Airport?!? I would call it ...... you know what.. this airport / terminal is so disappointing I can't even find a single word that can describe Terminal 4.
I agree with Stephanie B... "This terminal makes me want to curl up in the fetal position and start crying". I.. myself..felt like a kid that just wants to kick and stomp on the floor because he was so pissed he didn't get his toy car!
The Food Court..more like Sh*t Court is darn right disgusting! There's a total lack of good eats here! You're subjected to over-priced, sub-par and crappy KFC, McDonalds, Pizza, and some sort of Cafe. Secondly, it's DIRTY! Seems like no one picks up after themselves here and the custodians don't even exist!! Lastly, there are a lack of seats in this cramp hell hole!
The Shops here is as sorry as the Food Court. Don't even bother to think you'll find that one last trinket of NYC gift or memorabilia.
The TSA agents here are a JOKE! I'm pretty sure this group of sorry ass people couldn't hold a real job at the local McDonalds or Taco Bell and thought they'd have a kick of pushing around the privilege people who can afford to travel. They are slower than retard slow. A kindergartener probably has better organizational skills than these lamo's. Lastly, they are RUDE! JFK Terminal 4 TSA Agents I present you the award for WORST EVAR TSA!
I think I need to write to Sir Richard Bronson and ask them to hurry and update Virgin Americas gate. G-H-E-T-T-O.

Rye's Notes:
*Eat before you arrive at terminal 4 you won't find anything satisfying to eat
*TSA agents here are rude and worse than the hot dog street vendors.

Wow, for an international terminal in a major airport, this place really sucks. Everyone in this terminal is getting on a flight to a foreign country. For those that are geographically challenged (like those at the Port of Authority of NY), coming from NY, that's a really long flight. The only eatery is Shannon's which is styled like an Irish pub. Great for the Aer Lingus travelers to get their drink on before they head to Ireland but for the rest of us it sucks not having any decent food. One small overpriced magazine shop is the only other thing. Before security there isn't much either - don't try Bar Avion. Nasty. Make sure you're well fed and have all of your travel supplies before you get to the airport unless you're coming from a different terminal.
Hate JFK so much. So crowded, so overused, so many times have flights been delayed or I've been 32nd in line for take off, causing my flight to leave an hour and a half later than scheduled. Besides the fact that JFK is so clear out of the way, it's not close to anything! Who thought to put an airport for NYC in the middle of bumfuck Queens? Shit, Newark is closer to the city than this place, and I HATE having to say that Jersey is actually more convenient than... well, than ANYTHING.

Always crowded. Flights wont taxi on time. Always delayed. Add to that its too big to walk and find directions especially if you are caught like me in a place where staffs frequent very less.
Argh!!! Miriam--I think I just missed you! Ok, for the DECADES I've been flying to NYC and into and out of JFK...will the day ever come that you stop the construction? It seems like you are getting closer but why oh why won't it stop and why oh why don't you think a bit more about us lowly peeps who need food etc? Come on--get it together! This should not take this long!

I picked up the in laws at Terminal 4 today. The place was crowded, hot and run by monkeys. But my wife's mom and dad arrived safe and sound. Two stars goes to the clean facility and nearby parking.
