Pharmacy
Finding it
Pharmacy is in Pre Security 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 pharmacy sits landside in Terminal 8, ahead of the checkpoint rather than tucked into a concourse. It is the one travellers pass while still working through check-in or drop-off, before any screening. The terminal's other pharmacy sits past security by Gate 14, so this is the one to use if you need something before you go through, and the gate-side counter is the one to aim for once you are already airside.
