Finding it
SIMS on the Go is in Arrivals 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
- 1
Terminal 1 has 30 places to eat and 34 shops in this directory; the earliest opens at 5am.
Hours against the security queue
SIMS on the Go opens at 9:30am and closes at 11:30pm. FlyIndex's wait-time data puts the typical JFK checkpoint queue at 24 minutes around 9am.
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.
