Parking at John F. Kennedy Airport
Parking areas
There are 6 parking lots, including economic sectors, garages, short term and long term. In all parking lots, there are assigned spaces for passengers with reduced mobility next to the entrance of the terminals (subject to availability). In addition, there are free pick-up and drop-off areas.
Free passenger pick-up and drop-off areas
Cell Phone Lots (Pick-up)
These two free areas are located at each of the airport's main entrances, less than 5 minutes from all terminals, providing a convenient place to wait for arriving flights and ensuring a smooth flow of traffic.
If you want to enter the terminal with your passengers, please note that only people with a valid ticket will be allowed to pass through security. On the other hand, you can enjoy any of the areas before the security checkpoint.
Kiss & Fly (drop off)
This free area is a great way to avoid airport traffic when dropping someone off at JFK. Conveniently located at the JFK Lefferts Boulevard AirTrain station. The area allows passengers to simply hop on the AirTrain for a quick, free ride to their terminal.
