Realized today I'm landing B48 at JFK at 7:20am (from SYR) and have to connect to Baltimore which departs C65 at 8:30. I've not had to do the Jitney in a long time, and according to the maps there used to be a pickup at B54 or thereabouts. But the app is directing me on the map to walk a long way down, take an escalator, walk 13 minutes to another escalator, walk down to a supposed bus area (I'm guessing this is B20) and take the bus from there. And then walk the stairs to the C gates at Terminal 2.
Have mobility issues with a stiff knee which will be aching after a 15-20 minute. The gate agent at SYR has requested a wheelchair at JFK which I can decline (was hoping for a buggy since wheelchair seems extreme). I can walk, and suffer later, but my fear is that I'll get lost since I know signage for these things is poor. Really wish there was a stop at the far end of B gates, but from recent posts and the app it seems only B20 is operating.
Yesh, I just looked at the wheelchair accessible directions and that one takes 62 minutes because they take you to the airtrain. I hope whoever meets me will just take me to B20. Maybe I'll decline the chair after all....
In T4 if you arrive at any gate B20 (or higher) you can't get to the AT without passing B20. The motorized "scooters" are faster than a wheelchair. The moving walkways (from personal experience) in T4 "normally"

one or more of these are not working.
