One Idlewild Drive JFK International Airport, NY 11430 (Terminal 5) | (212) 806-9000 | More Information

Distance: The White Shul-27min
Parking: Parking Lot 5, or the Yellow Parking lot, is located right across from the hotel. To get there, bear left immediately before the hotel into the lot (there’s a yellow sign which says “5 Parking”, stay to the left.) The price is $5 per half-hour, with a $39 maximum. Payment is either made using your credit card or your EZpass.
(There is also on-site valet: $10 – 30 minutes $20 – 1 hour $30 – 2 hours $48 – unlimited (might be free if you order $30 of drinks – ask.))
Website: https://www.twahotel.com/
Drinks: Bar
Size: Large
Description: Set in the iconic former TWA flight center (Terminal 5), this airport hotel is a great shidduch spot, with multiple seating areas and a bar for drinks. There are some interesting exhibits here as well (about airplanes, old-fashioned telephones, and a whole bunch of other stuff) to liven things up a bit if you’re down for that. I personally really like the very long hallways and oversized lounges. Great Place!
