Finding it

Hudson News is in Security Arrivals/Baggage Claim in Terminal 8 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.

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

This Hudson News sits on the arrivals side, before security, near baggage claim rather than up on the departures concourses. It's the one of Terminal 8's two Hudson News locations a traveler reaches straight off an arriving flight or on the way in from the curb, not after clearing the checkpoint. Sims on the Go is the only other stop nearby, making this one of the few retail options in that pre-security zone.

One of 7 Hudson News locations at John F. Kennedy International Airport (Terminal 1, Terminal 7, Terminal 8).

Other options in Terminal 8

All landside, so you can reach any of these before security.
