Finding it

Flying Tacos is in Food Court in Terminal 1 at John F. Kennedy International Airport. It sits landside, so you can reach it without a boarding pass — and you still have to clear security afterwards.

Level
4

Terminal 1 has 30 places to eat and 34 shops in this directory; the earliest opens at 5am.

Hours against the security queue

Flying Tacos opens at 10am and closes at 8pm. FlyIndex's wait-time data puts the typical JFK checkpoint queue at 23 minutes around 10am.

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.
