I can see you’ve never been to Newark
Comment on Security lines at JFK airport, NYC

I avoid JFK at all cost, but I get the sense that the lines there always look like this. Not saying all the other stuff isn’t an issue, but don’t give JFK any credit. Hands down the worst airport I’ve been to.

I mostly fly out of Newark. I’m not saying Newark is good, but nothing like what I saw at JFK. JFK was so bad, they had a staff member split the security line in half and escort us to another level of the airport. I have never seen Newark do anything like that.

I flew put of newark yesterday and we waited longer to check our bag than to get through security. Maybe 10 minutes at the most

I flew out of JFK terminal 1 recently (not sure how much the terminals matter/differ as it was my first time flying from JFK) about 2 weeks ago and didn’t spend more than maybe 20-30 minutes in the TSA line? It really wasn’t long at all.

All three NY area airports are notoriously bad in every aspect lol.

IDK after the upgrades LGA has been pretty great

I’ve only been to LGA once, and a friend drove me, but it was a good airport experience. Half of my hate for JFK is just getting there. I might be biased towards LGA because I didn’t have to drive to LGA personally. But I was there after the renovation and it’s a nice terminal.

JFK is shit, yeah. But LAX is worse. They don’t have any designated area for overlay. You have to go through immigration, only to go through security again to get your connecting flight. And immigration is rude, like, I don’t want to enter your shitty country, you make me do it, because you apparently don’t know how to build airports.
And security takes ages, so you wait in line, while you’re called out already to board the flight. Like I DON’T WANT TO BE IN THAT LINE! I did not want to go through immigration or security or anything. I just wanted to get my connecting flight.
