Make sure you have at least 2-3 hours of layover if you have a connecting flight. Avoid JFK terminal 1 as it is always chaotic.

Food- be specific if you dont want to eat Meat. And the vegetarian choices are really bad. Pack exact 23 KG/ 50 LB or else you have to pay
MichaelFlew with Lufthansa-Mar 2025
Get seats in a back, more chances to get empty seat next to you
JuliaFlew with United Airlines-Jun 2024
If you are flying out of Terminal B, give yourself plenty of time. There was only one security line for gates 60- and up. Took almost an hour to clear security.
