Hours against the security queue

iS Duty Free opens at 3:30am and closes at 11pm. FlyIndex's wait-time data puts the typical JFK checkpoint queue at 19 minutes around 3am.

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

This sits beside iS Beauty in Terminal 5's Marketplace, sharing the same 3:30 AM to 11:00 PM window down to the minute, but stocks duty free and tobacco rather than cosmetics and perfume. The early opening lines up with Terminal 5's first departures rather than the later Marketplace crowd drawn by Shake Shack or Jamba Juice/CIBO Express nearby. Splitting tobacco into its own counter rather than folding it into the beauty side is the one thing that separates this stop from its neighbor down to the product mix rather than the hours.

One of 3 iS Duty Free locations at John F. Kennedy International Airport (Terminal 1, Terminal 5), and the earliest of them to open.
