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

About this location

Gate 1 on Terminal 1's level 3 is the earlier of the terminal's two SIM Cards points, ahead of the one at Gate 4 further along the same level. It sits nearest the AirFrance Lounge among this row of storefronts, well before the fragrance and duty-free counters clustered at Gates 3, 4 and 7. For someone arriving at the lower-numbered gates, this kiosk is the shorter walk; for anyone landing further along, the Gate 4 location next to Dior is the closer of the two instead.

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