JFK Terminal 7
It's my first time flying in-out of JFK Terminal 7 (normally I go into EWR). Are the gates divided by security points or are you clear all the way around from Gate 1 to Gate 12 after security?
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

I was actually wondering whether you can walk all the way from Gate 1 to Gate 12 (basically all of T7) after security, without having to re-clear security.

You can walk the whole terminal, from Gate 1 to Gate 12 in about 5 minutes. It is a compact terminal to say the least. You can browse the few stores and buy a cup of coffee and dine at Chez McDonalds if you are hungry....

Just head right up the middle where all the big shiny screening machines are. Go into the light, go IN to the light....
