Flights from Istanbul to John F Kennedy Intl: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from Istanbul to John F Kennedy Intl 
Verified travelerFlew with Turkish AirlinesJan 2026
Don’t board the aircraft empty stomach. Bring some food with you because you won’t get any food served for a quiet a while
Verified travelerFlew with Turkish AirlinesMay 2025
We got in line for passport control instead of going to the transfer section after arriving from Zagreb and wasted precious time. We wish there were obvious signs to show transfer passengers where to go. (Maybe we missed the signs?) The food was delicious and the crew were excellent.
