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.

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

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.

Newark AirTran isn’t great. It’s slow and a long walk to terminal A from the train stop. Everything else was fine.
