Default compass in jfk??

Hi guys, I'm trying to fly out (jump seat) tomorrow on compass out of jfk to msp at 540 pm but i can't find anywhere on the nwa or delta web sites where compass is located at, so i don't know if that flight leaves from terminal 4 or termianls 2-3.

anyone knows for sure?do I have to list?how do I list?

thanks

It's the international terminal. The one where NWA flights still use and the one that you see Aer Lingus, EgyptAir, Virgin Atlantic, and others at in the afternoon. Go down the escalators midway down the concourse on your left and there is a lovely little pit where people wait to board the bus that takes them out to the airplane which is parked on a remote hardstand. Sorry, I don't know the gate numbers but if you're based at JFK then you know which terminal I'm referring to, and once you're there you'll see the gate numbers. You do not need a boarding pass to go down the escalators. They will list you down there, not at the top because at the top they are usually just airport employees and not Delta employees.

It is often total chaos. If you have the time, get there earlier than usual because if they want to do an on time departure, the bus can sometimes leave that pit 30+ minutes prior to departure time to head to the plane. Sometimes there's only one bus, sometimes two, staggered if so, and that depends on the loads.

And listing is done on the spot with the gate agent using the Northwest Airlines jumpseat XCM form.

Terminal 4 is International...I forget which one you'll want, but the terminals are easy to walk/bus between...

It's walk-up for offline. NWA flights are typically T4, which is the nice international terminal.

Compass no longer parks at the international terminal. We now park where all the Delta/Delta Connection flights go out, not sure of the terminal number. Usually it is hardstand 11B but occasionally we get a gate. If it is the hardstand, get to the gate early. The last bus usually comes out to the plane 10-15 prior to departure.
