If you couldn't read the title and decided to just click it.



For easy reference, here’s Wikipedia’s list of airport codes. The list is too long for one article, so you have to click on the letter that the code begins with to get a list of airports that start with that letter.

in other nyc airports that is not humanly possible unless running at full speed and skipping the baggage claim.
We flew F, so we were the first ones off the plane.
Customs had just opened, so no lines yet.
No checked bags, so no waiting there.

And to think we were nervous for our 8:30 from LGA :D

He didn't say he doesn't have GE.
I "paid" for it (that part was quite profitable) but never bothered with the interview.

Profitable? How so?

And why didn't you go for the interview - are we all missing something here?

UA Plat+ gives a $100 credit for GE as well as AMEX.
And I did Nexus+GE for just $50.

Never took the interview because it has to be done close to the Canadian border.

Don't they credit your statement meaning that it has to be charged.

LGA.

Deplaned JFK 6:05am, cleared customs 6:09am, in a cab by 6:12am, and a LGA at 6:30am. And that's without GE.
'Twas a thing of beauty.
Terminal 8?

20 hours? How?
Generally when I fly internationally I'm in F, which means first off the plane and typically little to no line at all.

Yeah, but what if an A380 or two just deplaned minutes before you landed?

Can happen, but I've flown internationally I think 4 times in the past year and haven't had to wait yet.

+1
I just had lines of over an hour, even though I was in F.
But don't worry, I skipped the line without GE  ;)

The line I last avoided was so long the people backed up out of customs into the gate areas...

at the end of last summer i came back from Brazil landed in T4 at the same time as delta flight and elal 747 arrived from Israel, took me 2 hours to go thru customs. somehow all the frum people "managed" to cut the lines and ended up before me. (maybe i'm not frum enough to do that yet)  >:(
Now I just have GE.
