    Hi All,

    Planning flights for a work trip I have to take. One routing let's me fly from Aguadilla and have 10 hours layover in JFK. Just wondering is this enough time to get out and into the city to see sights, possibly World Trade Centre. I'd be landing in JFK 9am on a Saturday and flying on again around 7pm.
    Is it worth taking the trip into the city? My other option would be drive 2 hours to San Juan and fly via Boston with only a 4 hour layover!!

    Yep, that's loads of time. I had a 12 hour layover a few years ago and I did WTC and also went to Cony Island which is a fair bit out of Manhattan. Just make sure you check in any large cases etc before heading into the city as you don't want to be carrying anything like that to slow you down (it'll also mean you can head straight to security/boarding gates on your way back). It shouldn't take you more then 40 mins or so to get to downtown Manhattan by subway.

    I'd also recommend booking ahead any tourist activities you want to do as it should ensure quicker entry/skip the queue privileges.

    JFK is a pretty crappy airport (certainly the terminal I was flying from anyway) with a lack of options for eating/shopping and with 10 hours to spare it would be a no brainer to me to go into the city to kill the time

    Take the AirTrain to Howard Beach, Then hop on the subway to Manhattan and you'll be at the WTC in about an hour or so.

    Or take the other AirTrain to Jamaica Station and the subway will take you to Times Square in about the same time.

    Ah....The WTC is rebuilt (bar one tower which is still yet to be built).
