JFK AIRPORT ADVISORY

Smart meet-time suggestions based on the current hour and typical deplaning and baggage windows. Updates every minute. Always check airline notifications for gate or baggage changes.

If you’re touching down at JFK anytime soon, here’s what you need to know to keep your airport arrival as smooth as your takeoff.

Due to ongoing renovations and updated airport regulations, all arriving passengers at Terminals 4, 5, and 7 must now take a shuttle to reach the designated car service pickup locations. Additionally, inside terminal pickups are no longer permitted at Terminals 5 & 7.

Please review the revised procedures below to ensure a smooth and timely pickup experience:

John F. Kennedy International

Arrivals at T4/T5/T7 must take shuttle to designated pick-up areas. Inside pickups at T5/T7 not permitted. Rules may change during construction.

Suggested meet time after landing

35–45 min after landing Domestic flights

55–70 min after landing International flights

ETA to Midtown 70–95 min

Roadway outlook Heavier — allow extra time

CURBSIDE MEET & GREET BAGGAGE ASSIST NEWBORN/INFANT/TODDLER/CHILD CAR SEATS

Terminal 4 — Limited Curbside Access

Curbside pickup is permitted only between 2:00 AM and 12:00 PM.
Outside of these hours, passengers must board an airport-operated shuttle bus to the remote car service lot.
Airport personnel will assist with directions and luggage.
Upon arrival at the lot, call Legends to connect with your chauffeur.

Terminals 5 & 7 — AirTrain Required

Passengers arriving at Terminal 5 or 7 must take the AirTrain to Howard Beach Station to meet their chauffeur.
Please allow 15–20 minutes of travel time after baggage claim.
Once at Howard Beach, call Legends to complete your pickup.

Additional Recommendations

Confirm your terminal assignment with your airline prior to travel.
Allow extra time for transfers from terminal to pickup zone.
Contact our team directly for assistance or questions related to these procedures.
When possible, consider alternate airports such as LGA or EWR for greater convenience.

Why This Change Matters

JFK is experiencing record travel volumes and a $19B redevelopment program. To reduce curb congestion, improve pedestrian safety, and prevent delays, for-hire vehicle pickups for T5 and T7 have been moved to the Howard Beach AirTrain Station. These measures may evolve as construction progresses; we’ll keep you updated.

Reduce roadway congestion at terminal curbs
Improve pedestrian safety
Prevent delays during pickup coordination
Keep terminal access functional as construction intensifies

These changes are expected to remain in place and may evolve as construction progresses. We’re monitoring the situation closely and will continue to keep you updated with any new developments.

Exceptions (Mobility & Accessibility)

If you or a loved one has mobility challenges (wheelchair, walker, disabled child), direct terminal-level pickup may be arranged. Please notify us in advance so we can coordinate appropriately.
