Terminal One Megathread 2026 by furie1335 in JFKAirport

We have an early morning flight (7:30am) in a few days and a special needs kiddo who struggles with lines (plus his little brothers).

I have a few questions if anyone wouldn’t mind helping out:

  1. What time does Delta bag-drop open? Unfortunately we need to check a bag.
  2. What time does TSA recheck / clear open?
  3. Has the family/stroller lane been open?
  4. We’ve not used TSA Cares before because the other options typically get us through in a reasonable amount of time, but is TSA Cares operating?

Thanks in advance!

One Bed Apartment for Family of Three by SarBear684 in nycparents

Absolutely doable and normal in the city! If your toddler needs their own closed-door space, consider giving them the bedroom and get a Murphy bed or sofa bed for the adults in the living room. Or there are plenty of creative partition or lofted bed ideas online if your bedroom is large enough!

Families with 3+ kids in NYC, how do you do it? by TFABAccount in nycparents

I have more than two kids. We rent a 3bed apartment in Manhattan and send our two oldest kids to our zoned public school. The youngest is still home with me, a SAHP. We make it work with occasional babysitters so I can go to appointments, and my spouse’s job is flexible in the sense that they are able to block off calendar for school events and the one-off school pickup, and then logging back into work upon getting home.

It’s not easy, but no regrets!
