Finding it
Lacoste is in The Great Hall in Terminal 8 at John F. Kennedy International Airport. It is airside, past the security checkpoint, so allow for the queue before you count on it.
- Level
- 3
Terminal 8 has 49 places to eat and 50 shops in this directory; the earliest opens at 12am.
Hours against the security queue
Lacoste opens at 5am and closes at 12am. FlyIndex's wait-time data puts the typical JFK checkpoint queue at 28 minutes around 5am.
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
Polo shirts and casualwear fill this Great Hall storefront on Level 3, open 5:00 AM to midnight alongside the fashion and watch shops near Connoisseur Collection, Peach Palace by Momofuku and The Blinded Tiger. Compared with the tailored suiting a few doors down or the Swiss watches in the next window, this is the more casual, lower-price entry point in that row of shops. The same nineteen-hour window applies here as at its neighbors, so it stays available across both the early departure bank and the last boarding calls of the night.
Other options in Terminal 8
All past the same checkpoint, so you can reach them without clearing security again.
