Finding it

SIM Cards is in AirTrain Connection in Terminal 8 at John F. Kennedy International Airport. It sits landside, so you can reach it without a boarding pass — and you still have to clear security afterwards.

Level
2

Terminal 8 has 49 places to eat and 50 shops in this directory; the earliest opens at 12am.

Hours against the security queue

Across the week, JFK security runs longest around 8am at a median of 33 minutes, and lightest around 2am at 10 minutes.

Queue figures are medians from FlyIndex's JFK wait-time record, not a live reading.

About this location

Between Alchemy and the Baskin Robbins/Dunkin Donuts counter, this SIM Cards stall occupies level 2 of Terminal 8, one floor below the shops near the Admirals Club. It's a single-purpose stand: the only listed feature is SIM cards, with nothing else on offer. No hours are posted, so it isn't the kind of stop to plan a layover around. Terminal 8 has other SIM Cards stands on levels 1 and 3, but this is the only one on level 2, useful for anyone landing without service who doesn't want to change floors to find one.

One of 12 SIM Cards locations at John F. Kennedy International Airport (Terminal 1, Terminal 4, Terminal 7, Terminal 8).
