John F. Kennedy International Airport ,Terminal 8 – NYC 2012

 

 Well guys ! it was time to leave New York City and head to Miami !! it wasn’t easy to leave the Big Apple although I spent 5 days there but its still not enough ! you will be amazed how fast you could fall in Love with New York ! and everytime I’m there I do new things, see new things and ofcourse eat new food 🙂 Lovely days I had in the big city ! Anyways ! this time we are flying with American Airlines ! last time I did fly with Virgin America from NYC to LAX! and I would rather fly again with them if they only have a flight route from NYC to Miami which unfortunately they haven’t .. The last time I went with American Airlines was back in 90’s 😛 the good thing about flying with them is that they have their own terminal at John F. Kennedy International Airport that is Terminal 8, all for American Airlines ! ofcourse it handles international and domestic flights of AA  … So how did go ? the arrival at the airport ?  the checking in, the TSA , US Customs , your worst nighmare :P?  no just kidding 😉  

 It’s considered one of the busiest airports in the states yet you can find it wide and not that crowded !! our flight was at 2:00 pm as I recall 🙂 7da netheef o mnathaam !! as for checking in your luggages, we did check them in at the enterance of the airport ! few steps away from were the shuttle stops ! yep that;s something I enjoy in the staes ! you don’t have to check them in at the counters , specially when you have so many luggages do it at the desk outside and go in to the terminal light 🙂  

  

 6b3an specially in the states lazem nshtiri majla for the plane 😛  right before TSA check in points …  you can find this little place to shop

 So always have your carry on , yep when in the states you need to have your carry on with you !! a7la shay etishiri o etikewed lain etfawel el jan6a 😛  also it would be nice to arrive at the second destination having some food around 🙂 its might be late and you don’t want to go out 😛  

 So as usual I go crazy and buy everything ! I have this rule , when Im traveling there is no place for second thoughts ! whatever my eyes desire and loves I just go and buy it 🙂 because who knows when is going to be my next time there !!! enjoy your vacation sharaw eli tboona 😀  

 ya zeeeench zeeenah ;D walaht 3la NYC !   

 Yallah now its time to head to the gates o eshwayat tfteesh 3la al arathi el amreekiya 😛 you gotta remember something and have it in your mind ! don’t think that you will be treated inappropriately because you are a muslim. Am a muslim and wearing a Hejab too and all I heard is Excuse me Ma’am could you go to the body scanner,  all the passengers are treated equally don’t let the Media get you, don’t act  suspiciously , just be yourself and respect the Law 🙂 wallah ena all went smoothly el7mdella  and remember it depends on your Personal experience 🙂 you know the normal process right ? shoes off – laptops and electronics like Ipads out of the luggage and  One more thing, I was carying 3 carry on’s ( Cabin Luggage – My Purse – small Plastic Bag ) I was asked politely to carry only two, So I managed to put the plastic bag in my cabin carry on 🙂   after finishing with TSA .. we headed for the gates !!! awal ma dasheet ashwani eltifat 😛 wela there it was That big Apple !!   

 An apple sculpture by Romero Britto at  John F. Kennedy International airport – Terminal 8 !! to welcome millions of travelers around the world to New York City  and say goodbye to those who are leaving  😛
