Finding it

CHOPT 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

CHOPT opens at 4:30am and closes at 11pm. FlyIndex's wait-time data puts the typical JFK checkpoint queue at 28 minutes around 4am.

Across the week, JFK security runs longest around 8am at a median of 33 minutes, and lightest around 2am at 10 minutes. The queue is typically building before this location opens.

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

About this location

CHOPT opens at 4:30 a.m. in the Retail Hall, tying Dos Toros for the earliest start among its neighbors and running well ahead of Bessou, which doesn't open until 9 a.m., or Chocolate & More, which starts at 6. It closes at 11 p.m. alongside Dos Toros and Chocolate & More, all three finishing well past Bessou's 9 p.m. shutdown. Salads are the entire menu here, a narrower focus than the noodle counter or the confectionery stand nearby. This is the only CHOPT at JFK, unlike some of the sandwich and coffee brands elsewhere on this floor that run multiple storefronts.
