![]() While JFK still has more terminals than most major airports, it is at its smallest terminal count in history. If you are departing from this airport, beware that, as a huge and congested airport with six terminals, it's recommended that you make sure before you arrive what terminal you are departing from, such as by doing a search for your airline at JFK's site, linked at the top of the page, and try to arrive 2 hours before domestic flights and 3 hours before international ones, to check in and pass through security without a huge increase in blood pressure and/or a last minute dash worthy of the Olympics, but without any of the medals. As cellphones are not allowed in waiting lines, you may want to bring a book or other non-digital entertainment. If you arrive at this airport from overseas, be prepared to wait in line at Customs & Border Protection, often over an hour if you are not a permanent resident of the United States. International travellers other than those from Canada, Bermuda or Visa-Waiver Program countries are most strongly advised to avoid connecting in JFK to other international flights, as the security and immigration procedures for non-US citizens are monumentally time-consuming and tiresome. If you must connect via JFK, make sure you have sufficient time: For connections from domestic (US or Canada) flights to other destinations in the US or Canada, allow 2–3 hours for transfers from domestic to international destinations, allow 3–4 hours for international to domestic, 3–5 hours and for international to international, 3–6 hours. If possible, do not connect using JFK, especially when switching terminals. ![]() Landing or taking off from JFK has been much improved by the addition of the multibillion-dollar Bay Runway in 2010, but due to sheer volume, it remains the worst airport in the country in terms of flight delays. As one would expect of the main airport of a city like the Big Apple, JFK is one of the busiest airports worldwide and also the busiest airport in the USA in terms of international passenger traffic. Kennedy International Airport ( JFK IATA) is in the borough of Queens, New York. ![]()
