Out of the Big Three, which one do you like the best? Even if you don't use that particular airport the most, you still may like one over the others. My vote goes to JFK, even though I use LGA more. I enjoy using JFK when I get the chance.

i voted for Kennedy, only because when i travel to the west coast it's easiest for me to get where i'm going from JFK. aside from that, LGA is home...

Kennedy... Always had gripes about LGA security lines and facilities in general.. Then again, never been a fan of departing JFK between 4 and 8 PM

almost any airport will suck at that point. best to do all your traveling in the early AM, lesser lines at TSA and taxiways, and since it's the start of a new day less of a chance to have to be stuck dealing with the previous day's screw-ups. if you fly in the afternoons, you have to deal with the entire day's possible mishaps and mistakes when you push back.

I'll agree, LGA's ground traffic is deplorable. Gotta love pushing from gate one at the DL terminal for a runway 13 departure at peak times!

What's even more fun is pushing from an AA gate when runway 13 is in use for departures and having to taxi all the way down to the Delta terminal as part of the taxi que. It does happen occasionally especially during summer when LGA is in S.W.A.P., severe weather avoidance program.

BTW LGA got my vote, home for the last 24 plus years, love it !

JFK, for all the aviation eye-candy.

Happened to me a few summers ago on an Eagle flight to DCA. We were #40 for take-off. The taxi to 13 was longer than the actual flight!

My vote is for JFK. I fondly remember the days when at one terminal, red tails dominated instead of blue tails and at another, blue globes dominated instead of triangles!
