in the last two flights from JFK to LAX, there were at least 20-40 other a/c waiting in line to take off. landing is also another matter...having to cross over the Van Wyke.
but then again, the drive around McCarron at LAS is also pretty lengthy. i always wondered why they could not just drop us off along the strip.
You're right, I haven't been through JFK lately or ever so I have no idea what you are talking about
As for LAS, I've been through there once or twice. With the prevailing winds in Vegas out of the West Runway 25L is the primary landing runway. If you land there the taxi to the B, C or D gates is usually less than 5 minutes (think SFO). If you do land on 1/19 the taxi is a bit longer, but nothing like LAX where you have airplanes pushing onto active taxi ways (think gates 76-77 at each terminal) further clogging up stuff.
