If you on a budget flight frontier. Don’t bring anything other than a personal bag. Or you will get charged for everything.
ToddFlew with Delta-Aug 2026

ShmuliFlew with Spirit Airlines-Apr 2026

Verified travelerFlew with Spirit Airlines-Apr 2026
Getting through TSA wasn’t too bad; about 1/2 hour. Just arrive early enough and be patient.
Aditi SayanFlew with Delta-Apr 2026
Security checkin lines can be longer at certain departure times
OlgaFlew with JetBlue-May 2026
Here’s the part that confused me the most. JetBlue flies only from terminal 5. Delta (at least) arrives in terminal 4. Be aware that there is a lot of walking to get out of terminal 4, then you board the sky train, then you walk more, and finally get to terminal 5. There, surprise! You have to go through security again. At JFK, some security lines are ridiculously long and slow. It’s very annoying that transit passengers must go through that again when moving between terminals. One more thing related to terminal 5 where JetBlue flies - there is absolutely nowhere to sit and almost nothing to eat before going through security. The security lines were better organized though and it didn’t take that long.
Verified travelerFlew with Spirit Airlines-Dec 2025
They said the plane was full but ended up having a spare seat, so that was a nice surprise. Bring snacks as they charge for refreshments
KymberleeFlew with Delta-Oct 2024
Just make sure you get to the airport early because you never know with traffic or what situations may happen. I always fly Delta so I can’t speak on other airlines. TSA pre check is always a plus in my book.
andrewFlew with Delta-Jan 2024
is you have a choice LGA new terminal is awesome compared to Newark or JFK
SidneyFlew with Spirit Airlines-Feb 2024
Give yourself time when coming through New York City and Penn Station.
EvanFlew with Delta-Jan 2024
Newark AirTran isn’t great. It’s slow and a long walk to terminal A from the train stop. Everything else was fine.
