    Delta or Jetblue terminal for spotting?

    We have the choice of arriving on Delta at Terminal 2 or Jetblue at T5 in the morning
    AND
    departing on Delta or Jetblue in the late afternoon.

    Which terminal is better to arrive and depart from at those times, to try to get some shots from inside, considering the sun angle, & interesting airlines parked at nearby gates?

    Both Terminal 2 and Terminal 5 offer some nice views of runway and ramp activity, depending on light and runway configuration. For Terminal 5 you have a great view of runway 22R/4L take offs in the afternoon and runway 31R/13L arrivals in the afternoon. In the morning most shots you take from the terminal will be back lit. At Terminal 2 you have a decent view of runway 31L/13R take offs but unfortunately most shots will be back lit except for aircraft taxiing into Terminal 1 in the morning.

    I wonder if the bridge between T2&3 is before the security checkpoint.(at JFK)..are there any concession stands B4 the checkpoint at those 2 terminals.
    Thanks.

    Thank you! Our arrival date is friday the 18th in the am, wonder if we should wait for something cool to taxi to T1 or go outside the airport ASAP to get any possible UN arrivals :)

    There's also the Air Train. Any idea if it gives any decent photo opportunities?
