Security screening at New York JFK

2 Feb 2018

From February 2018, we anticipate that security waiting times at New York JFK T7 will be longer than normal for Executive Club Blue and Bronze Members who are not eligible for Fast Track security. This is while terminal improvement works are taking place. We recommend that Executive Club Blue and Bronze Members with a departure from JFK after 18:00 who are not eligible for Fast Track security allow an extra hour at the airport to ensure that you reach your gate on time.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the current redevelopment of the terminal.
