"At Terminal 4 (Delta, Emirates, Virgin Atlantic, Singapore and more), curbside pickups are only allowed in the mornings. From noon to 2 a.m., travelers must board a free shuttle bus to Lot 66, where rideshares line up in numbered stalls. The system's been in place since May and though shuttles run every couple of minutes, the process adds time and an extra round of logistics to any arrival."
"At Terminal 5 (JetBlue, Sun Country, Cape Air) and Terminal 7 (Aer Lingus, Air Canada, ANA, LOT, Icelandair and others), the detour is even longer. After grabbing bags, passengers are directed to the AirTrain, ride the green line to Howard Beach Station and exit to a designated pickup lot shared with car services and long-term parking. Wi-Fi and baggage assistance are available there, but the AirTrain transfer adds another 15 minutes or so to the journey."
"The Port Authority says these relocations are temporary traffic-mitigation measures during JFK's $19 billion redevelopment project-one that promises a shiny "New JFK" but currently delivers a lot of construction chaos. Traditional yellow cabs are still available outside each terminal and ADA-accessible rideshares continue to operate directly at the frontage. Departing passengers are unaffected and can still be dropped off curbside."
Rideshare pickups at JFK Terminals 4, 5, and 7 have been relocated off-site, requiring different transfer methods. Terminal 4 allows curbside pickups only in the mornings; from noon to 2 a.m. passengers must take a free shuttle to Lot 66 where rideshares queue in numbered stalls. Terminals 5 and 7 direct arriving passengers to the AirTrain green line to Howard Beach Station, then to a shared pickup lot with car services and long-term parking, adding roughly 15 minutes. The Port Authority describes the changes as temporary traffic-mitigation during a $19 billion redevelopment. Yellow cabs remain curbside and ADA-accessible rideshares still operate at terminal frontages.
