Avman, re: JFK. I agree with you. JFK landside is much improved compared with, say, 5 or 10 years ago. Much of the recent construction has been finished, and the new roads and the new AirTrain system are most welcome. Terminals 7 and 8/9 have been cleaned up quite a bit as well, while wait-times for check-in or security have been curtailed sharply. The problem at JFK is more runway/taxiway congestion and waiting times for take-off.
