You could take a ride on JFK's new Airtrain, it runs above the airport terminals and as long you don't exit the station at Jamaica or Howard Beach, it doesn't cost anything.....On a nice day, late in the afternoon it should be an ineteresting ride. </font>
I totally agree with this. I was
extremely impressed by the Airtrain when I rode it last weekend. The train itself seems much wider than the subway or LIRR, but maybe that's just because of the setup. It moves along pretty darn fast too. One thing I noticed, however, is that the fabric seats are already looking a bit stained.
You can also do the loop of the terminals, and as the terminal 4 station is inside the terminal easily get out there to walk around. I believe there is a better food court over there. Look here for more info
