Advantages: Lots of planes to look at, plenty of food places

Disadvantages: Immigration in Delta Terminal

Arriving at JFK can be a Hit or Miss...I arrived here from Manchester on a Delta Airlines flight and this terminal is extremely busy in the Afternoon with all the European flights. I can Recall the Immigration Queue for non-american citizens as a large and an extremely slow moving one as each person is electronically fingerprinted.
I entered the queue at about 2pm and got passed immigration by 4pm...I missed my connecting flight but Delta staff quickly got me set onto a flight 7 hours after my booked flight.
Luckily I didn't stand in the queue 2 hours as I knew I would have problems with my visa so I told this to a member of staff and they took me straight to a holding area where I could sit down and they helped me and got me on my way, but I did notice the people I was with in the immigration queue which is how I knew it was a 2 hour line.
Departing JFK through the Delta Terminal was alot Easier...I checked in about 8 hours early and enjoyed my time eating in Burger king watching the Departing Aircraft from 31L and also the Great Free Wireless in some areas.

Summary: It's ok for Domestic with Delta, not tried other terminals
