Flight from Los Angeles to New York John F Kennedy Airport

MaryannFlew with United AirlinesSFO-EWRMar 2025

Bring your own food with you. Airport and airline food is expensive and you WILL need something to eat on such a long flight.

Verified travelerFlew with Alaska AirlinesSFO-JFKJan 2025

The New York arrival terminal is not the best. Maybe that’s getting corrected with construction. It’s not a big deal though, particularly on the leg where you’re into new york (vs out of).

StephenFlew with DeltaSFO-JFKFeb 2025

Check a bag. The boarding is horrible with this large packed flight.

JFlew with Alaska AirlinesLAX-EWROct 2024

You get a little a Pretzel bag or Biscoff crackers. Bring your snacks for the long haul. And listen for free gate checks !

alanFlew with Alaska AirlinesLAX-EWRJul 2024

Show up early. Security line was long (admittedly at the end of the 4th of July weekend).

Verified travelerFlew with Alaska AirlinesSFO-EWRJun 2024

Bring some food on board for the flight

Verified travelerFlew with Spirit AirlinesLAX-EWRAug 2024

Don’t take spirit. JetBlue, American, and United are much better.

BlancaFlew with Alaska AirlinesSAN-EWRMay 2024

Don't forget your headsets and there is no screens so make sure you bring one from entertainment!

KarenFlew with Alaska AirlinesSFO-JFKApr 2024

I would like to see more flights from New York to Oakland.

AvramFlew with United AirlinesLAX-EWRMar 2024

We booked a car but there were lots of taxis available.

Verified travelerFlew with Alaska AirlinesSFO-JFKMar 2024

I like airlines that have options for seating, even if I have to pay for it. I would never had chosen to sit in exit seat where I couldn't recline or even sleep bc the headrest didn't work.

MagedaFlew with United AirlinesLAX-EWRFeb 2024

If you use the United mileage card, you will have priority boarding, which puts you to board in group 2, you get one free luggage checked in, gives you 2 free annual passes for United Club, drop off bags it's easy and convenient on level 2 in both airports Lax and Newark after checking in online

Verified travelerFlew with United AirlinesSFO-EWRDec 2023

Don’t be gate lice. Standing in walkways leaving a narrow thruway for those trying to get to other gates is antisocial and should be embarrassing for the offenders. Making travel more arduous for others is a faux pas not you winning a zero sum game.

MartinFlew with JetBlueSMF-JFKJan 2024

Southwest has a lot to Ofer. Oakland airport is very easy to navigate.
