I don't know what T3 is like. I haven't flown into JFK recently. I flew SFO-EWR on United and honestly I think EWR is better escpecially if you're going to Manhattan. I'm looking forward to flying Jetblue into T5 sometime soon or AA into T8 because those are the newer ones.

[lshlarson]

The only terminal at JFK that I've used is T7, and if that's anything to go by, then I'm sure the rest aren't exactly brilliant.

Which airline were you on?

[9M-TKS]

For me so far: UPDATED

A310 Singapore Airlines
A320 Air Asia, SilkAir, Tiger Airways
A330-300 Thai, Cathay Pacific
B737-300/400 Air Asia/Malaysia
B777-200ER Singapore Airlines
B777-300 Cathay Pacific (by luck, aircraft swap )
F50 Firefly

I hope to fly the 747 before it's too late for me.

I take it you live in Singapore or Malaysia (from the airlines you fly).
If you want to take a 747, Singapore Airlines flies most of its European routes with 747-412 "Megatops" as well some 1-stop US routes (notably SIN-SVO-IAH and SIN-FRA-JFK). Also Malaysian flies 747-400s on a daily KUL-TPE-LAX rotation.

I haven't been on the 747 for a long time (2000 i think on United) because UA doesn't fly nonstop SFO-CDG anymore! so I have to connect in ORD or IAD and end up taking 767/777.

Am back from my Q400 flights..much more legroom than the CRJ-200 however I do like getting home faster!

Honestly, I prefer the Q400 because of Horizon Air: i flew it BOI-SJC once and much preffered it to the cramped CRJ200s of UA where i bonk my head on the overhead bin when i try to stand up.
Problem is SJC is 50 miles from house... and SFO 15.

I live in Malaysia (do you live nearby?) And I think you're a few years late there, most of SIA's European flights are now 77W or 380. You're right on the JFK route but not IAH. Firstly, it stops in DME not SVO, and it's served by the 77W.

Malaysia doesn't fly daily to LAX unfortunately.

As you can tell the 747s are becoming history so.... hope to ride on one of em soo.
