Finding it

SIM Cards is in Retail Hall in Terminal 4 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 4 has 47 places to eat and 39 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

Two floors up from Terminal 4's arrivals level, this SIM Cards stand sits near the same cluster of lounges — Air India's Maharaja Lounge, the American Express Centurion Lounge, and the Capital One Lounge — that anchor the floor below. Its feature list is the same single item, SIM cards, and its hours aren't posted either. Being on level 3 puts it closer to departure gates than the ground-floor SIM Cards stand in the same terminal, useful for someone realizing they need a working number after clearing security rather than on the way in from a flight.

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