[voldemort]

But I wouldn't want to take someone's spot who may have reserved there.

[voldemort]

Funny that the headline calls it "new". This has been advertised for several years. On the three occasions a couple of years ago that I stopped there for מנחה there was nobody else around to pray with me. A janitor unlocked a small sanctuary for me to pray in alone.
Is it different now?

[voldemort]

no,but they are trying to evolve,the new aspect is really just the name...i wonder what type of food they have.

[ah]

the parking i get...but why wouldn't someone just go to the 5 towns for food/minyan

+1
i was wondering the same thing,unless you need a mincha and its already shkiya? or for food if its free?

Looking for ideas. My car will likely be at a friend in the 5T who will drive me to JFK, but on the return, I land at 5:30AM and wouldn't want to make him get me that early.
1) I can take a cab to his house for probably $30
2) He could drive my car the night before to a store/shul parking lot that is closer to the airport if there's anything that's close enough to walk to from JFK.
3) Maybe he could drive my car and park it at the airport and then I only pay 1 night of parking.

Any other ideas?

Your second choice might not be possible for free. I don't know of any legal way to get out of the JFK terminal area for free. I don't think there is a sidewalk via which you can leave the terminal area of the airport. Sneaking on some car rental's or hotel's shuttle is free but not legal. For the price of a bus fare, you can take the Q3, Q10 or B15 from terminal 5 (you can get to terminal 5 from any other terminal for free via the AirTrain). See the bus map for where those can take you. You can take the AirTrain out of JFK for at least $5.

Park @ the ohel for free, never alternate side parking.

Is this sill possible?

Looks like the Ohel area still has no alt st parking.
I know it has available parking spots on random streets in the area.
But how do you get from the Ohel to JFK?  taxi?
