[Metal484]

OK so I purchased my JFK Tour Ticket, and then the $50 Full registration. I hope that get's me to JFK!

[NLovis]

It should. I still dont have the $$ :(

[Metal484]

I figured it out after some digging. Me and my friend Tom purchased tickets for the JFK Tour. Can't wait!

[JBoulin94]

Wait - I'm still confused. Do we have to get a full registration pass or 3 show session? All I want to do is go on the JFK Tour.

[wunaladreamin]

Full registration.

[JBoulin94]

Ok, thanks Kenny.

[NLovis]

Hope I can get a ticket

[Metal484]

stop hoping and just buy the ticket. It's only a $100. for the full registration and whatever airport you want to visit.

[NLovis]

I would but i need to buy parts for my car. Frekin storm sent something haywire and a caliper went on me.

Hi Guys,
I just purchased the $50 JFK Tour via PayPal. I have my confirmation of payment from PayPal but what happens next?
Are the Tix mailed, Do I receive a confirmation from the people hosting the tour, something that says I have clearance! :lol:
Sorry, a bit confused :?

[PhilDernerJr]

I believe that when you go sign in they'll either give you a ticket or just let you on the bus!

I am confused about these tours. Are photos allowed? Isn't it a breach of security to allow ticketed people to walk around the ramp areas of these airports? Do visitors need security clearance? Do visitors have a choice of times? In the early morning, there are hardly any aircraft to photograph and in late afternoon, the ramp areas will be very congested so I doubt if there's any room for tours. Who is giving these tours? I recall complimentary tours given by the PA back in the late 70's.

Hello,
I have registered for the JFK tour. It is $50 for the Registration which gets you into the Hotel for the convention then another $50 for the JFK tour. The bus leaves the Hotel @ 8am and brings the group to JFK escorted by The NY Port Authority. You need to pay with PayPal as I spoke with a rep and it is the way all your info gets logged. You will need Photo ID the day of the tour. He said photos are allowed. The Invoice and Approval is sent to your home and you will need to bring it the day of for proof so they can match it on the manifest. Is anybody else here going?

The tour is specifically for photo taking, so yes, you are allowed ot tkae photos. This is done with a specific guarded, guided tour on the ramp. They bring to a certain location, you get off the bus and stand in one spot and take all the photos you want.

If you click ont he link, you'll see the times for each airport's tour.

I'll pass on the tour. I don't have a car so it's a hassle getting to EWR for the hotel part. I'm content with the annual Kids Day at LGA which sounds basically the same. I don't like having someone stand near me telling me what photos I can and cannot take. I know you guys will post great photos after for me to see. Since the tours are in the AM, the aircraft I would want to see won't be there until late afternoon. Due to congestion, it would be impossible to have tours at that time. Have fun! I took a similar tour back in the 80's. It was held by the MTA. A bus took us by the Air France Concorde at the now demolished old IAB. We were also allowed to take photos/videos but could not wander away. We also visited the US Customs to hear a lecture on security and equipment. It was nice. I think it cost about $10.
