With more than 700 magazine titles, and an extensive selection of newspapers and light reads, Hudson News is the place to stay on top of the political climate, or the latest celebrity news. In addition to the expected packaged snacks, regional souvenirs, and travel necessities, both a Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin Robbins are conveniently located in the store, offering their signature doughnuts and ice cream flavors, respectively. This location sells Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and safety products, such as hand sanitizer, gloves, face masks, face coverings and face shields.

Finding it

Hudson News is in Near 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

Hudson News is open 24 hours.

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 one sits landside near baggage claim, the spot for a bag or a last magazine on the way out rather than a browse before a gate. Being open 24 hours lines it up with red-eye arrivals whose luggage lands well after the shops upstairs have shut for the night. Terminal 8 carries two Hudson News locations; this is the arrivals-level one, distinct from any counter reachable only after the checkpoint. No gate or concourse is attached to it, which fits a baggage-claim location rather than a numbered airside stop.

One of 7 Hudson News locations at John F. Kennedy International Airport (Terminal 1, Terminal 7, Terminal 8), and the earliest of them to open.

Other options in Terminal 8

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