Its' Been Over a Year Since Clear Went Into JFK Terminal 2 - What about Terminal 4?
Given that I believe Delta invested in Clear, gives discounts to Skymiles members, and opened in Terminal 2 about a year ago - what ever happened to plans to extend Clear to Terminal 4? One would think that by now it would be in Delta's primary terminal at one of its major hub airports.

Last I was in the lounge at T4 (in December) the Clear signup people mentioned the issue was finding space for it in T4. Not that T4 security any time of day doesn't have the potential to be a madhouse (depending on how many lanes are open), afternoons / evenings are reliably PACKED with not much room to move queues around. I'm also still waiting for it in Boston...

Part of the issue may be that I believe Delta operates T2 itself, whereas a separate entity ("JFK International Air Terminal LLC", a subsidiary of Schiphol) operates T4.

Each terminal at JFK apparently operates as a separate entity - as I discovered when they reported on the recent storm and the mess at JFK. Apparently the port authority has very limited control over what each terminal does.

Interesting. I thought the signs at JFK Terminal 2 looked like Schiphol signs because of design assistance. I didn't realize that a Schiphol entity managed the terminal as well.

As for the signage, I'm not sure where the design came from, but it's generally standard across all of the PANYNJ airports. Not sure if it comes from the Schiphol involvement at T4 or not. (T2 at JFK is *not* managed by Schiphol, I believe it and Terminals C/D at LGA are managed by Delta themselves, presumably with significant subcontracting of various elements.)

The most distinctively Schiphol feature at T4 is the fly etched onto the urinals. https://www.npr.org/templates/story/...ryId=121310977
