Hours against the security queue
So Chocolate opens at 6am and closes at 11pm. FlyIndex's wait-time data puts the typical JFK checkpoint queue at 28 minutes around 6am.
Across the week, JFK security runs longest around 8am at a median of 33 minutes, and lightest around 2am at 10 minutes. The queue is typically building before this location opens.
Queue figures are medians from FlyIndex's JFK wait-time record, not a live reading.
About this location
Runs from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM in Terminal 4's Retail Hall, sharing the floor with Hugo Boss and Kiehl's rather than other food counters. It's a candy and gift stop, not a meal — souvenirs and gifts round out the shelves alongside the chocolate, aimed at someone buying something to carry home rather than something to eat before boarding. The 6:00 AM opening catches the first wave of Terminal 4 departures, though the McDonald's across the hall has already been open for hours, being the one 24-hour counter on this floor.
