Finding it

W. 12th St. Market 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

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

W. 12th St. Market shares level 3 of Terminal 8 with the American Airlines Admirals Club, putting duty-free liquor and tobacco within reach of travelers heading toward that lounge rather than toward the food counters at Baskin Robbins & Dunkin Donuts nearby. Tobacco sets it apart from Alchemy and the other neighboring stops, which lean toward food and drink rather than gifts. It works as the terminal's general gift stop as much as a duty-free counter, carrying souvenirs alongside the cigarettes and spirits on its shelves.
